It takes a pretty special event to lure me out of my hermithood and brave the crowds.
This day was one such event.
Shore Acres in Oregon is famous for the monster waves that pound this stretch of coast line. As soon as word got out that there would be some big waves there was also a wave of photographers descending on this very spot.
Fingers were clicking, shutters were melting and memory cards were bursting at the seams.
I reckon everyone walked away with some amazing images that day. For certain I'm not the only one to have captured this moment.
Almost everyone who studies this image wonders who that crazy person was to be so close to that dangerous explosion of power.
From where I was standing I could taste the ocean spray, feel the rumble under my feet and had to keep a strong hold on my tripod lest it sail off in the wind.
I wonder if what he could feel was a warm yellow trickle down his leg?
