How Clark Little Got His Big Break

Clark Little has a job that's a little different.

He gets tossed around by breaking waves and slammed into the sand in Hawaii on many a day. 

But he wouldn't have it any other way, twistedshifter.com reports.

Little became a professional photographer in 2006, working the North Shore of Oahu, where some of the world's biggest waves and best surfing conditions can be found.

His career path changed lanes when his wife wanted a photograph of some local water for their house.

Putting his knowledge of the ocean and his love for surfing to good use, Little traded in his surf board for a camera and began documenting waves in such a spectacular manner as to draw attention world wide, according to Wikipedia.
