Photography for a Good Cause: Steve's Club of the Palm Beaches, "Beat the Streets" 2013 CrossFit Competition


Had the pleasure of photographing this year's 2nd Annual CrossFit competition for Steve's Club of the Palm Beaches. If you remember last year, the weather was a rare day of COLD here in South Florida.

This year, quite the opposite!

The field. One of the first images I took of the day. Condensation from the humidity formed on my lens creating a great fog effect.

The people that made the event possible! Co-directors of Steve's Club of the Palm Beaches, Lupe Dickens talks with Debbie Dove as the day begins.




CrossFit BGI owner, Todd Lynch prepping the judges.


Encore! This was the second year of the event which  saw the return of many competitors, judges/volunteers and even the singer of the national anthem. A whole community of support! Check out the photos from the "Beat the Streets 2012."






CrossFitters. Always a sense of humor.



Sponsored by Reebok, and ComicCon. ;)

















How'd you spend YOUR 21st birthday?? Maria spent it CrossFitting for a great cause. Happy Birthday, Maria!

I've heard of dead-lifts before. Is this considered an "alive-lift?"

 The SCALED:
 The RX:


After careful deliberation, it has been determined that this photo alone does not stand as incriminating proof that illegal substances contributed to the final standings.




Special thanks to BGI for providing the space!


Tan-lines by Rock Tape!

Congrats to all of the winners!

 And don't forget:

THIS IS HOW YOU GO DOWN A WATERSLIDE! (Keep it real.)
Hope to see you soon-

Beach Meditation: South Florida Fine Art Photography


Really enjoyed the sunrise this morning at Coral Cove beach in Tequesta.

On the way there it started raining but toward the ocean was pretty clear. Perfect rainbow weather...

The first two images are taken a couple minutes apart as I used a slow shutter speed to capture the movement of the waves on the rocks (coral.)







You'll know it when you see it.

Sea grapes.



Double rainbow over the intercoastal.


Dragonfly and rainbow.

A perfect palm.



Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
