this was a session that i went out to shoot fellow photographer/surfer nathan petty which i have done in the past on a few occasions. it is at a spot called big rock in la jolla on a very ominous day with decent waves. i may or may not have gotten a decent shot of nathan but i did grab this shot of another guy named nate.
the image has been on the market for only about 5 months and has done pretty well so far, with about 4 rights managed clients thus far. i think it does well because the image is really a different tone than many other images of same content. it has a nice moody feel to it. the image is in aurora's collection on getty images.
glad its doing well, i was sucked over the waved and bounced on the reef a few times, so this shot makes it all worth it.

looks like the ledge at the left is creeping up on him. great work on this one. let's get out there again. summer is coming and those south swells are perfect for the rock!
