iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

It was a stark reminder that nature’s beauty and fury are inseparable and amazing to be able to finally capture one and do that feeling justice.

Back in the pandemic, we encountered multiple waterspouts at dusk while sailing down to find refuge in Grenada. The winds were far too strong, and the weather systems were closing in on us too quickly for me to even consider photographing them before getting all the sails down.

It followed us for what felt like an eternity. We use the same wind to escape that the storm was generating, so it was a game of slow-motion cat and mouse.

This monster was chasing us down while sailing in the Bahamas, just as the sun was rising. It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see one. If one of these hits your boat, it’s total devastation. #Waterspout #Bahamas #AdventurePhotography #SailingLife #IntrepidPhotos #photography

Not every day is perfect in life; but sometimes its those dark days which make the best stories.

The years thunder by, The dreams of youth grow dim where they lie caked in dust on the shelves of patience. Before we know it, the tomb is sealed. Where, then, lies the answer? In choice. Which shall it be: bankruptcy of purse or bankruptcy of life?

Driven into the shallows and pinned there by wind, waves and sand. Offshore wave heights exceeded 14m (46ft) as record ocean conditions battered the coast. On 8 June 2007, the Pasha Bulker grounded at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle, Australia. #storm #weather #photography

After two failed attempts, the ship was eventually salvaged on the third attempt, on 2 July 2007, at a cost of about A$1.8 million. The 225 m (738 ft) Panamax bulk carrier was then towed to Japan, where the extensive damage was repaired. It was later renamed MV Drake.

000

Record ocean conditions were recorded during the storm. A maximum wave height of 14.13 m (46 ft) was recorded at the Sydney deepwater Waverider buoy, with around 300 mm (11.81 inches) of rain falling in 24 hours in the area, causing widespread flooding.

The Pasha Bulker did not heed the warning and subsequently ran aground in the storm, with both bow and stern stuck in the sand, almost parallel to Nobbys Beach in Newcastle.

100

The east coast low, a type of extratropical cyclone that forms off the east coast of Australia, was well forecast, and Newcastle Port Corporation radioed the 56 ships waiting offshore, requesting that they move further out to sea before the storm arrived.

On 8 June 2007, the Pasha Bulker grounded at Nobbys Beach in Newcastle, Australia. I was fortunate to be on site to capture the emergency helicopter evacuation of the ship’s 22 Filipino and Korean crew members during the storm. #storm #weather #photography

Any hints to find the community here? I am posing into the void.

Water transforms the outback when rare floods sweep down from Central Queensland, filling channels carved over millennia. Reached after days of 4WDing across outback floodplains, this fleeting landscape exists for only weeks. From the air, its veins of water reveal a story older than memory.

Nothing quite like a road trip in the mountains.

Nothing quite like offshore sailing

Waterspouts are hard to describe to anyone who has not seen them. The emotions of sailing away from one, with your family on board a small sailboat, are even harder to convey. This thing had more than enough power to do serious damage and potentially flip our sailboat.

This monster chased us for what felt like an eternity. We sailed away as fast as we could, running at a tangential angle to the shelf cloud to try to escape the system. The closer it got, the darker that leading edge became. #wx #photography

Is there much of a crypto art community here?

intrepid @intrepid.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Yep its accelerating in a bad direction
