joreth | Amazing Wave Photos

When I hear people talking about surfing in Florida, or the beaches or the wave height on the Atlantic coast, I can't help but snicker a little and say "you call those waves?"

I'm from California, with the rocky majestic beaches and waves that can kill you. We have a surf that never lets you forget how fragile human existence is.

And not to far away from my hometown are the shores of Hawaii, where I visited as a child. There, you'll see all the hot and humid scenic beaches that people like to brag about here in Florida, but with the strength and power of the Pacific Ocean.

Here is some photography from a surfer. I can only dream of taking photos like this. I might have all the right equipment, but I will never be brave enough or skilled enough to take shots like this. This is one of the many reasons why I love the Pacific and why Florida pales in comparison:

Clark Little on Good Morning America (2009)
It all started in 2007 when Clark 's wife wanted a nice piece of art to decorate a wall. Voluntarily, Clark grabbed a camera, jumped in the water, and starting snapping away capturing the beauty and power of monstrous Hawaiian waves from the inside out. "Clark's view" is a unique view of the ocean that most will only be able to experience safely on land, while studying one of Clark 's photos.

Now with a camera upgrade and an itch to get that better shot, Clark has taken this on full time and has moved his office from land, to the inside of a barrel. Since the recent stir of Clark's work, his images have been run on the Today Show, ABC World News Now, Paris Match (France), Hana Hou (Hawaiian Airlines) magazine, Surfer magazine as well as multiple publishers and newspapers in the U.S. and overseas.

These incredible images of waves were taken by the #1 photographer of surf: Clark Little. He has dedicated his life to photographing the waves and has published a selection of the best images of his career. He captures magical moments inside the "tube", as surfers say
