A trio of surfers discusses the waves at Ventura County Line, California, USA. Nikon F5, Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8D, Kodak TriX400.
Here’s a photo from November 2022. A quick snap taken with a Nikon F5 and Nikkor 20mm AF-D lens. Kodak Tri-X 400 film.

It’s one of the photos you grab in the moment. Simply point and press the shutter. Later, you find out what you have. I like this one. It captures the vibe without telling too much. Sometimes… that’s better than megapixel details.
Meeting of the Minds
Captured this moment with my Nikon F5, Nikkor 80-200mm 2.8D, and Kodak TriX400 film. A couple of kids surfing at Manhattan Beach, California, USA. Part of a series I’ve been working on for a few years, one that documents the surf community between Ventura County Line and Newport Beach. Eventually, will put them together in a zine of some sort.
