Surf Photography

Photographers at the beach

I was shooting photos at the Backdoor
Shootout yesterday at Pipeline and it was really obvious, what a huge impact the surf industry has had on the established surf photographers. I had to look really hard to see anyone I actually knew. The vast majority of shooters there, I had no idea, who they were. Ten years ago, it was almost solely the domain of the film . The cost of taking a single picture back then ranged from 50c to a dollar, depending on what sort of deal you were getting on film and processing. Anyhow, getting back to this image. there was something primitive about it. Sort of reminded me a little of the statues on Easter Island

….. Enjoy…..
