Dolphins

Took my water housing with a 3 foot pole attachment and hung off the bow of my pops boat and tried to get some photos of the dolphins that joined us. Almost fell over board a couple times and almost lost my entire camera rig...Couple abstracts came out rad, next time I know exactly what to do now!

   A year ago today we lost an amazing surfer, Andy Irons. Power and style. I shot one photo of Andy out at Lowers one morning before the World Tour contest. Think it was in 2003? Swam out before sunrise to shoot all the pros warming up. At the time I was working on a project with a friend doing video from the beach and then incorporating the photos into the film, this was a time where it was a little more difficult to accomplish then these days. Project ended up getting sidelined. Still stoked I was able to get one shot of Andy. It's not the most compelling but it is AI.

   Back in high school, I had a little clothing company, Cirkle Concepts, now defunct. Although I do miss those days as it was a very exciting and experimental time, it helped me establish a base for the future I had in graphic design. There were three of us that had a hand in the company over the years, Rob, Zech, and me as well as countless friends helping out screen printing, organizing and distrubiting.

   We all went our separate ways but all still having roots in fashion and design. Rob went to fashion school in LA, Zech ended up as an Art Director for Aqua VI, and I found myself Art Director for Armada Skis. 

   Zech gave me a call and told me about his newest project, Society, and wanted me to help him out shooting some photos. He had a couple tears and mood boards he wanted to convey. Me having a water housing it was obvious I would be of most help with the surfing shots. The shots were in no way to be a usual action surf shot, just more of a lifestyle carefree vibe. With our busy schedules conflicting we were able to find a day to shoot, of course, the swell and wind wasn't in our favor but nonetheless we were able to get a few that worked.
