Immersion

freshteh — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 00:21:24 +0000

We went to see the yearly Tim Bonython Surf Film Festival last night. Packed and sold out as previous years. Crazy hairy waves and sick surfers. This year was no exception. The film overall was much better this year, editing, photography. Def a step up, well done Tim and crew!

An absolut dream is to sit on a boat at Teahuppo, the Godfather of waves, and watch the waves up close….but after seeing this I´m….. nervous about that dream. yaaah.
catch it next Thursday if you can as the tour returns to Hardboard Diggers.

I would have done it in a millisecond. Love how they´re so mesmerized that they hardly flinch or wonder if it´s real. Killer Viral!

Came across photos by Li Wei. what the? they make you think a few rounds before figuring out how it´s done. Apparently Li Wei says that his images, often self portraits, aren’t computer montages. But that he works with the help of props mirrors, acrobatics, metal wires. And then removes the wires in photoshop. how ever he does it. Refreshing images.

sandbar for breakfast

Took a little trip up the coast this weekend with a few friends to catch some uncrowded waves. Blueys, boomerang, sandbar, boti boti. pick your break. unfortunately Seal rocks was flat. amazed by how clear and blue the water is up there, like surfing in a pool. Surf was good. water warm and everyone got to play. We stayed in a cottage at Boomerang beach, the beach I almost died at 4 years ago. getting into waaay to big waves. no near death experiences this time, although some of the heaviest wipeouts I´ve felt.

time to plan the next trip. yaaa.

Atomic; full of love, full of wonder

Just found these pictures from the “Atomic: full of love, full of wonder” exhibition by artist Nike Savvas back in 2005. Suspended bouncy balls galore, accompanied by electric fans to swirl them in wave motions. brilliant.

who said that it was

Although the rest of his work differs a little from this. Brazilian based Adams Carvalhos clean lines and hues in these illustrations tickle my fancy.

We race down to the sea

The band I mostly wish I could catch live. shame shame shame.

Facing Waves – The Mr Sunset story

okar — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 00:25:22 +0000

The last few weeks I have been getting involved in what is a true dream project for me.
One of my surfing heroes “Jeff Hakman” has a life story more interesting than the one of many; filled with ups, downs, sidestepping and all that jazz. With years of preparation and planning producer Pierre Weisbein has taken on the challenge of taking this true story onto the big screen. The film will be based on the book Mr Sunset (Phil Jarratt) with a treatment written by Jamie Brisick.

When the question came to me if I wanted to be the art director of the project… I said YES!
Here is where the project lives www.mrsunsetmovie.com

Big Monday

One thing you can count on when getting down to the living room from the bedroom in the morning is that you need to put your shades on. The sun rising over the ocean stares you blind. Half awake I grabbed my cam and snapped a strange daze covering the horizon. My favorite hue is that silver, grey burnt out white. Gathering a series I´ll put up sometime.
Big waves today, Manly and I managed to get my 200 mm out to snap a few shots. Although. noticing I need to get closer than 200mm. nuggets.
