Surfside Beach, SC
As a youth, I spent untold hours fishing, swimming and crabbing in the warm waters of St. Helena’s Sound near Beaufort, South Carolina. Those early years instilled in me a life-long love of nature and the Lowcountry.
In 1981, the wonderful perfume of the salt marsh lured me back to the coast as my family and I relocated to Surfside Beach. Over the next several decades, I reacquainted myself with those outdoor activities that so thrilled me as a boy. The joy of landing an eating-size flounder or sucking down a raw oyster while wading local waters had not diminished in the least. If anything, it was a greater pleasure now seen through more mature eyes. Photography has been an increasingly important vehicle that allows me to share my vision of the natural wonders of the South Carolina coast.
