The Perfect Storm

Ocean storms are the most overwhelming and intoxicating aspects of nature--a relentless force that's life itself, pure energy and movement. Through extreme photographs shot by an intrepid artist in dangerous conditions, this volume captures the power of the sea during a tempest, with sailors caught in its vortex, pitted against nature. But it also portrays the ocean as pleasure, its waves ridden with audacious mastery by venturesome surfers.
