MIKE ENNEN

SAN JUAN ISLANDS, WA

PHOTO: SPENCER SMITH

“The San Juan Islands are a group of beautiful islands off the coast of Washington. While spending a few days at Mike Ennen’s island house, we ventured out to the edge of US territory. This photo was taken less than minutes by boat to the Canadian border.

It was a pretty surreal day with calm ocean conditions and few boats. As Mikey was preparing to ride, I snapped this shot with my fisheye lens using it on a full frame sensor mode that created the crazy black border in the shape of the lens hood.”
