What & Where is the Wild Atlantic Way

By Neil Murphy | March 24, 2020

What & Where is the Wild Atlantic Way You may have been wondering.  Simple. It’s a beautiful place. Many beautiful places come with vivid vibrations – and how they draw us back.  But this is another level of crackling energy altogether. Magnetic they say. Where a smile comes already attached. Good words flow free. Activity […]

Found

Found

By Neil Murphy | July 3, 2019

Found That moment in the whole medium of time when you realize you’re in the right place, doing what you do, nothing else matters. The why, the what, the how… All rolled into one & completing yourself in a way unlike any other. Your face reflecting that entire picture of contentment with which you could […]

Glassed

By Neil Murphy | July 2, 2019

Downtown Nantucket Buzz This is quite possibly the most peaceful corner on Nantucket in summer. Right in the heart of downtown. When the population of a small island, of a 100 square miles, more than quadruples. And contorting the flow of traffic into some kind of Pollack-esque mayhem by more than doubling that very quadrupling. […]

Rad Riding Hood Catching some Air

Away!

By Neil Murphy | July 2, 2019

Rad Riding Hood Away! She’s finally taken off! OK & away… This girl cracked the ‘action shots’ code for me by taking control – once I asked her ‘how she wanted to be seen’… She & her friend were laughing at me & my sling bag – until they discovered there was indeed a camera […]

Incoming at Gray Top Chair

Incoming!

By Neil Murphy | July 2, 2019

Incoming! This chairlift is the highest on Red Mountain, BC. Just a matter of seconds before a heavy weather front reached the peak. Dark clouds are blowing in from the north, driving the poor innocent sun-drenched white clouds off their mountainous perch. Snow is literally in the air. Falling flailingly. The sun is disappearing fast […]

Passing Bullet

The Swedish Bullet

By Neil Murphy | July 2, 2019

I’ve been trying to capture this skier in all his glorious speed for the entire season. With a nickname that leaves nothing to the imagination – the Swedish Bullet – he’s very fast & direct. With a very unique fusion of styles – European, feet close together & North American, feet further apart – & […]

Red Chair Snow Forecast

Rickety Red Chair

By Neil Murphy | July 1, 2019

This is the Red Mountain chair lift, in British Columbia. It’s the oldest chair lift in all of Canada, east to west and has been going & going since 1947… This lift takes this kind of snow-storm battering & just keeps on rolling out the chairs. It might be slow, and rattle a bit in […]

Solo Sunset Soul Surf

By Neil Murphy | July 1, 2019

Solo Sunset Soul Surf These are the moments of which surfers dream – catching a fabulous sunset surf all on your own. Even on the longest of beaches, miles long, with plenty of breaks & peaks & fun to be had – surfers are notorious for heading straight to where you may be all on […]

Going...

My Wave!

By Neil Murphy | July 1, 2019

Going! My wave. I’m going. Left… Cisco Beach, Nantucket. Surf’s up! Beach breaks hardly ever get the credit they deserve. Not in comparison to their reef break cousins, who just so happen to trade in a bit more consistency. Beach breaks are that little bit more unpredictable, relying on how the ocean forms banks or […]

Haunted Morningtides

Haunted Morningtides

By Neil Murphy | June 30, 2019

Sunrise on Nantucket. Looking out from this somewhat uninhabited, unloved property. Some say they’ve encountered something of a spirit nature there on occasion. Some have summoned whatever spirit they feel they might have sensed. But I’ve never dallied there long enough to discover. The mailman doesn’t even deliver to this far-eastern end of the island […]
