July Charleston: On the Water!

July. Our "On the Water" issue. Photographer Ben Williams got into the assignment by catching waves with our subjects. This image of a local kite boarder landed him the cover. It's not Waimea but it still has great energy.

This feature on board sports was inspired by new and old surfing graphics. My assistant art director did a great job piecing everything together for the opener. Photographs by Ben Williams.


And I really felt some love for this spread among many from our 2011 Summer Guide in the July issue. Love the quick reads, and giant cool treats that make you want to lick them right off the page.
