I just went out
did what I did
did what I loved
it kinda happened…I guess people feel
the passion, I think.
In the backwash,
in the beauty.There are some dangers…
Getting tossed around by shore break and slammed into the sand day after day is a rough go; Clark Little wouldn’t have it any other way. In fact, for the North Shore local, it’s all in a good day’s work. But the Waimea addict didn’t grow up snapping shots with his father’s camera like so many photographers do.
He instead set out to capture his longtime stomping grounds when his wife came home with a framed photograph of Waimea shore break, an image he figured he would be able to easily replicate. Having never owned a camera, he threw a cheap “waterproof” casing over a cheaper point-and-shoot and headed out to the beach.
Since that first attempt, Clark has not only emulated his wife’s purchased wall art, but — with a gallery in Haleiwa and international recognition — has become a heavily respected fixture of wave photography.
