The Simple Things

Here is a shot that I took that I really like.  It represents the simple things that we as surfers do that make up the whole experience.  This shot was taken of Erik as he waxed up the retro single fin that he fixed up. He had no idea I was taking the shot and he just took his time waxing her up and getting her ready.  Earlier that day he road her for the first time in really clean conditions and killed it.  This was his second session of the day and this time around the surf was really bad.  He didn't care though and took the same time waxing away and got in the groove. It just shows the time we spend around surfing and the things that make up the entire experience, not just the act of riding waves. 

A Picture of a Picture

Erik gave me this photo on a drive of a bunch of images he had. It stood out and I thought it was cool.  This shot came from taking a picture of his computer screen with this image on it. The original image was taken by Erik's girlfriend and local artist Lauren. I had seen the original and had always liked it but this one came out extra cool. Enjoy.

The Bird

Here is a shot sent in by David. He actually sent it to me as a joke. But I liked it so much I had to post it. He was shooting one day at Cardiff and this bird came right at him. He swears he was looking to bomb him. He shot off a few and this is what he got.  It's really a cool picture. You can see Seaside in the background. If you click on it to enlarge it the detail is cool too. I've never seen a bird in flight shot like that. Look at the wings too, it's got that vee like a swallow tail.
