Grenada Coastline


This is a lonely part of the coastline of Grenada, a Caribbean island I visited while covering a triathlon for Triathlete magazine in about 1990. At about the time I took this shot, another photographer showed up. Rolling up his pants, he waded into the surf to get shots of the crashing waves. We talked for a while, and I learned that he had published a book of photography. Small wonder -- he obviously went the extra mile to get certain shots. Still, I'm happy with the scene I captured.

Swim Start, USTS Phoenix, 1987


This is one of my favorite shots from my days as a writer and editor at Triathlete magazine. I took it at the start of the professional men's swim leg of the U.S. Triathlon Series event in Phoenix, Arizona. Series' points leader Mike Pigg is wearing the red swim cap.
