Whether he’s shooting from his bright-red RIB, the Golden Gate Bridge or Howie Hamlin’s helicopter, Simonson consistently comes up with great stuff — always more than we have space to use.

With 2008 in the books, he’s put together a "best of" gallery showing some of his favorites from last year. It appears along with everything else he’s taken — which may include your boat — on his website.
