January 1st 2023 at 9am, in Jax Beach, 2000 like-minded people started off their New Year diving into the the ocean at the 34th annual Wavemasters Polar Plunge. Mitch Kaufmann, the Polar Plunge Organizer said of the Wavemasters… “The Wavemasters sponsor the longest area Pro-Am Surfing contest, 40 years”. Kaufmann added, “The goal of the Wavemasters is to promote surfing in a positive way and all proceeds (which come from things like the sale of commemorative T-shirts of the 2023 Polar Plunge) go to benefit local charities.” The commemorative t-shirts sold out in a hurry. Anyone still wishing to buy one, should contact Mitch Kaufmann on Facebook.
I started staging photos at the age of six. I hung a Morton pot pie pan upside down from a tree with a fishing line and took a nighttime photo of what else? A UFO. Through the years, my interest in capturing images took me to video. I created, shot, and produced several shows seen on local cable. I worked in production at WTLV-12, where I was the news Floor Director and Lighting Director. Also, I was a news videographer at both 12 and WAWS-30. I was mentored by a pro-Hollywood shooter (Homeland, Ozark) on how to get the best composition and lighting. Now I’m bringing all these skills to photography and I love it.
