OUTDOOR & WATERY WEDNESDAY - AMAZING PHOTOS













I am very excited to show you these pictures today for Outdoor Wednesday at A Southern Daydreamer and for Watery Wednesday. Make sure you have a look at the other participants.

I was introduced to this amazing photographer via an email that unfortunately credited the wrong person for the photos. As I went looking for this person to obtain permission to use his photos (see the discussion on this issue here) it became apparent who the real photographer is.
His name is Clark Little and here is a little bit about him from his website:
Clark Little was born in Napa, California in 1968. Two years later, a move to the North Shore of Oahu (Hawaii) dramatically changed his future. In the 80’s and 90’s he made his name as a pioneer of surfing at the Waimea Bay shorebreak. Clark had a unique talent for taking off on hopeless closeout shorebreak waves and surviving in one piece.

I would like to thank Clark Little for allowing me to use these photos on my site. You should take a look at the rest of them at CLARK LITTLE PHOTOGRAPHY. His photos are available for purchase as well as some books and postcard images. What an amazing gift these would make.If you stop by his site tell him you got there from here. I think this helps bloggers get permission for use of photos like these because the photographers can see the up side to allowing bloggers to showcase their photos.

  21. I love the beach, sea turtles and surfing! These photos are amazing and I'm very pleased you ask permission to use them.

    I read your discussion on photo usage and I see the Creative Commons License in your sidebar (Kudos), but my response was so long I emailed it to you instead of leaving a comment.

  22. What AMAZING photos! I didn't get to drop by last week but am delighted to find this post in my reader today. Love your valentine too. I picked up the one from Hootin' Anni but haven't had time to make one of my own and/or share hers yet, but hopefully will get around to it soon. Today I'm doing what I can to catch up on blog visits while my laptop cooperates.
    Hugs and blessings,
