KHOL CHRISTENSEN . PHOTO:B.LEMOS

AFTER I TOOK THIS SHOT OF KHOL CHRISTENSEN , WHILE I WAS STILL ON THE BOAT PREVIEWING THE IMAGES , I HAD THE FEELING THIS SHOT WOULD MAKE A SICK COVER.

I SUBMITTED THESE IMAGES TO A FEW DIFFERENT MAGAZINES BUT AMAZINGLY NO ONE PICKE THE PHOTO FOR A COVER.

FIVE MONTHS LATER SURFAR MAGAZINE WAS WORKING ON A ARTICLE " THE YEAR IN REVIEW " SO I SEND THEN A FEW IMAGES AND WHEN THE EDITOR , ZE ROBERTO ANIBAL SAW THAT PHOTO HE TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE " WE HAVE A SICK COVER MAN!" I STARTED LAUGHING BECAUSE IT WAS THE SAME FEELING I HAD A FEW MONTH BEFORE RIGHT AFTER I TOOK THAT SHOT!

WAVE OF THE WINTER ENTRY NUMBER 1

2011-11-22T01:19:00.000-08:00

SO FAR IT'S BEEN A BAD SEASON ,

BUT NOT FOR THE HAWAIIAN SURFER FLYNN NOVAK. HE LANDED ONE OF THE HARDES MOVES EVER , THE " FLINTSTONE FLIP".

IT HAPPENED ON THE NOV/20th AT ROCKY POINT.

I SUBMITED THE VIDEO TO SURFLINE AND IT WAS ACTUALY THE 1ST ENTRY OF THE SEASSON FOR THIS YEAR "WAVE OF THE WINTER".

NOT A BAD START!!!

HAROLDO AMBROSIO IS A GREAT WATER MAN AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I GET TO HAVE ONE OF HIS SHOTS ON A COVER. THE LAST ONE WAS ON FLUIR MAGAZINE ISSUE #244 ON A HUGE WAVE AT PEAHI.

THIS TIME I GET TO SHOOT HIM ON A DECENT SIZE WAVE AT PHANTOMS AND THE EDITOR ROMEU ANDREATTA HAD NO DOUBTS ABOUT SELECTING THE SHOT FOR THE COVER.

I WAS HAPPY BECAUSE LATELY THE MAJORITY OF MY SURFING PICTURES WAS ACTUALLY BEING USED MORE ON EDITORIALS THAN ON PUBLICITY .

A VERY SPECIAL MOMENT

2010-06-03T01:26:00.000-07:00

I'VE BEEN SHOOTING WEDDINGS FOR QUITE SOME TIME BUT I NEED TO ADMIT THAT THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST TOUCHING WEDDING I EVER SEEN. EVERY THING WAS PERFECT AND VERY WELL ORGANIZED BUT THE TESTIMONY OF THOSE TWO FAMILIES , THE TESTIMONY OF KEVIN AND MISTY MADE THE DIFFERENCE . WE ALL COULD FEEL THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLLY SPIRIT ON THAT CHURCH IT WAS ACTUALLY HARD TO CONCENTRATE ON TAKING PICTURES , BUT IN THE END I HAD A LITTLE OVER FIVE THOUSAND PICTURES TAKEN , THE HARD PART WAS SELECTING ONLY FIFTY SHOTS FOR THE SLIDE SHOW THAT ILLUSTRATE THIS POSTING.

TWO IN A ROW

2010-05-23T22:44:00.000-07:00

YOU MAY THINK THAT ALL WEDDINGS ARE THE SAME . A MINISTER A COUPLE , THE WEDDING PARTY ...

BUT THIS WEEK I HAD THE CHANCE TO PHOTOGRAPH A VERY UNIQUE WEDDING . THE LOCATION WAS ALI'I BEACH PARK WHERE MR. BURTON HAD A OPPORTUNITY TO WITNESS HIS TWO DAUGHTERS GETTING MARRIED AT THE SAME TIME.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY PERFORMED BY PASTOR LUIZ DE OLIVEIRA .

FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

2010-05-23T00:36:00.000-07:00

IF THERE IS A SPECIAL EVENT IN HAWAII , IS WHEN WE CELEBRATE A CHILD FIRST BIRTHDAY . IT IS JUST PART OF THE TRADITION AND THIS WEEKEND I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO PHOTOGRAPH THIS NICE CELEBRATION AT THE HAWAII PRINCE GOLF COURSE THE FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY OF LITHE KAITLYN.

WE CHOSE A COUPLE DIFFERENT LOCATIONS BETWEEN WAIALUA AND HALEIWA . THE IDEA WAS TO GET A GOOD COMPOSITION WITH THE TWO ELEMENTS RIEKO AND THE SURFBOARDS . THE RESULT WAS PRETTY INTERESTING.

ART IN SURF

2009-10-25T00:20:00.000-07:00

SURF AND ART ARE TWO WORDS THAT GOES TOGETHER ...

WHEN A SURFER STANDS ON TOP OF A BOARD ITS JUST LIKE WHEN A PAINTER GRABS HIS BRUSH...

THE ART BEGINS...

HAVING MY WORK RECOGNISED BY THE "ART IN SURF" CREW IT IS A TREMENDOUS PRIVILEGE BECAUSE THE COMPANY HAS SUCH A FEELING TOWARDS THE SURF CULTURE AND ALL THE ART THAT SURROUNDS THE SPORT.

HERE IS THE LINK FOR THERE WEB SITE:

RICKSON GRACIE - WAIMEA BAY PHOTO: BRUNO LEMOS

I CLEARLY REMEMBER SEEING THE FIRST ISSUES OF THE GRACIE MAG BACK IN THE MID 80'S WHEN I USED TO LIVE IN RIO . " THE MAG" WAS MORE LIKE A NEWS LETTER FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE GRACIE ACADEMY , ONLY A FEW PAGES , ALL IN BLACK AND WHITE .
WITH THE BOOMING OF THE BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU AROUND THE WORLD THE MAG ALSO TOOK OFF.
AND TO ME WAS A BIG HONER TO HAVE ONE OF MY SHOTS ON THE COVER OF THE LAST ISSUE #152 , SPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE ELEMENTS INVOLVED ON THAT IMAGE FIRST THE LOCATION WAIMEA BAY WITCH IS AN AMAZING PLACE AND SECOND HAVING RICKSON GRACIE THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR FROM THE GRACIE FAMILY SMILING AND HAVING A GOOD TIME DURING THE CEREMONY FOR THE EDDIE AIKAU BIG WAVE EVENT...
DEFINITELY A GRATE MOMENT THAT CALLS FOR A COVER SHOT , IT WAS A VERY GOOD CALL THAT THE EDITOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY MADE.
STOKED!!!

SERGIO GOES BY BRUNO LEMOS NORTH SHORE - OAHU 2007

BRUNO LEMOS BY SERGIO GOES SOUTH SHORE - OAHU 1995

still can not believe Sergio is gone...
definitely one of the grates photographer that i ever meet he was a truly inspiration for me and my work.
Goes was free-diving about two miles off Waikiki between the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and the Sheraton Moana Surfrider with four other people. When the four returned to their motorboat, Goes was missing . The Coast Guard cutter Galveston Island recovered the body of award-winning local photographer Sergio Goes yesterday morning, less than a day after he was reported missing after diving with friends.Goes' body was recovered about six miles south-southwest of Waikiki at 11:03 a.m. yesterday, by the Coast Guard .Goes had lived in Hawaii for seven years, then moved to New York for some time. He loved Hawaii so much that returned to Hawaii in 2002 so his son could be born here. He co-founded the Cinema Paradise Independent Film Festival with friend Chris Kahunahana and was current teaching a class of "journalism photography" at UH . his most recent work was for Honolulu Magazine, where Goes spent a year documenting the intricacies of life celebrated in Hawaii, from the local obsession with fireworks, to a traditional Filipino wedding, to dragon dancing at Chinese New Year celebrations. Published in November last year, "Celebrations" won Friday night's Photo Essay award for the Society of Professional Journalists' 2007 Excellence in Journalism awards. unfortunately Sergio wasn't able to be there to receive this award but Judges called it "the strongest collection of images about a specific subject created by a single photographer, which showed a dedication of time, appreciation for the island lifestyle and its customs and traditions." Goes was doing a warm up dive before bringing his equipment underwater to take photos. He was doing what he liked to do,He always enjoyed taking a few risks to take some good shots, taking shots from helicopters, planes and underwater."Goes was a triathlete and a certified diver. Goes was with other experienced divers. "One of those crazy things happened, and he just disappeared," said Torres de Sa one of his best friends . Sergio migth be gone but the images he captured will still be around for a long time. please take the time to see some incredible images that were selected by Sergio him self to represent and ilustrate his work on his web site :
