First off, I appreciate everyone who took the time to read my post yesterday. It was something I needed to do and the fact it was received well was very appreciated by me. I am less stressed today without a doubt, not to say the issues have disappeared, it is just they are being overshadowed by good thoughts and positive vibrations.
Today, I have chosen to highlight my love of the art of longboarding... For how much I love the craft, I really should have more images available to post. The truth is, it is hard to find good subjects around Los Angeles. Sure there is El Porto and Malibu along with a couple other spots, but generally they are so over run with people, it is hard to get a solid shot without others in the frame. This is not to say the riders here are not talented, they are. They are just overrun with a 1000 other people. That is why Orange County and Hawaii have been good to me. I have promised myself to venture to spots more geared towards longboarding on a regular basis for new images. I just love the graceful and natural flow of the style and am drawn to it.
It looks as though the waves will be small this next week, so spend time with Family and Friends if you can... Always enjoy the company of those you love. There really is nothing better. The weather looks to be phenomenal (finally) just in time for the swell to drop (of course)... After looking at these recent images out of Fiji, I am determined to travel as soon as my Wife is recovered and ready to jump on a plane. Seriously, if you have not seen the photo's of Slater and gang at Tavarua, check them out. Beauty personified.
Major kudos to Brian Bielmann and Scott Winer for getting some of the best surfing images I have seen in a long long time from this past week in Fiji. These images have driven my own motivation to unexplained heights. These two amazing veteran photographers are major influences to me and thanks to sites like facebook and Transworld Surf's website, the sneak peaks are insane. I will be buying some prints for sure if they become available.
Aloha all, have a good weekend... If you live in Southern California, enjoy the lame newscasts of "carmeggedon." For those of you lucky enough to not be in Southern California and not aware, they are shutting down one freeway for two days and the news is treating it like a zombie invasion. Ah, to live in California... Skewed views of what is important.
