From Digital Photo Academy Instructor/San Francisco, Jerry Downs - "During a break in the rain, at an outdoor cafe, I stopped to reflect on the wonder it all. There is always something to photograph no matter what the weather."

Our PHOTO OF THE DAY and NEW COVER SHOT was created by Chicago area Digital Photography Instructor Larry Edward Smith. To paraphrase Ansel Adams, taking a good images depends mostly on knowing wear to stand. Larry .outdoors.photographer certainly knew where to stand for this particularly grand Grand Teton shot.

Another spectacular surf shot by James Bokovoy.
"Makau"
Regarded as a symbol for safe passage over water, the makau, or fishhook, brings good fortune and strength to those who wear it. Also used as OluKai’s logo, the makau has held deep cultural significance in Hawai’i and throughout the Polynesian Triangle for over a millennium. Traditionally carved from bone, wood, stone and coral, different makau were crafted to catch every single type of fish and sea creature; a craft which was often passed down through generations.
While I love catching huge explosions of water as waves crash against each other or onto the shore, I also love capturing each waves unique shape, color, and personality. Sometimes the smaller moments are the ones that I remember the best. This wave reminds me of the shape of the "Makau". If you google up that term you will find the hand-carved necklaces that people love to wear to this day. I think you will find it resembles the wave in this image.
*Part of the above text was from the Olukai website.
