Secrets is my most favorite beach in the world. It's a location that I find myself photographing often. So often that I began to joke that I should make a book from all the photos that I've taken at Secrets. I even came up with a name-- Secrets Revealed. But it's not really a secret location so I wouldn't be revealing anything hidden or unknown so I came up with another title-- Secrets Shared.  And instead of a book I'll start with a calendar.

But not just any ol random collection of 12 favorites taken at Secrets Beach. No, sir. I wantedI 12 images from each month so each photograph would represent  the month in which they were taken as well as the month being displayed. So the calendar page for January must have a photo that was taken in January. February's photograph must have been taken in February and so on. Another criteria for Secrets Shared was that-- taken together-- the photos must show different aspects of this awesome beach-- rocks, lava shelf, beach, morning light, evening light, waves and lighthouse. And lastly, I wanted to include images that were not as well known as some of my other, more recognizable photographs from Secrets. So you will not find standouts like Stillness and Motion, Cotton Candy Waves, Rhythm of the Wave, and Sunset this Way. For those images turn to the gallery Oceans of Light. Instead you'll find some deep cuts. Images old and new that, I hope, you'll find both interesting and pleasing. For me, each image embodies the beauty and free-flowing energy of this awesome place.
