From the One California Day World Premiere

Back in July of 2007, Jason Baffa and Mark Jeremias debuted their film, One California Day, at El Segundo High School to a packed house of people hungry to see some great surf footage.  The movie delivered great surf footage in spades featuring surfers such as the Malloy brothers, Joel Tudor, Alex Knost, and Tyler Hatzikian.  But it also gave a glimpse into the lives of the surfers themselves.  We were able to see the surfers and their other creative outlets which gave the movie its intimate perspective.

Just prior to the start of the movie, I was able to shoot the following image of Jason Baffa and Mark Jeremias along with Tyler Hatzikian, Dan Malloy, Chris Malloy, and Keith Malloy.  I shot the image using a Sinar P 4×5 view camera on Polaroid Type 55 P/N film.

That was 3 years ago.  Check out what Chris Malloy, Jeff Johnson, and Keith Malloy have been up to lately.  The world premiere of 180° South: Conquerors of the Useless was February 10, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival.  See the trailer here.  It looks like an amazing film.

Tyler Hatzikian in His Model A Roadster

A couple weeks ago, I was noodling around the parking lot after a surf.  Tyler was down in his Model A Roadster checking out the surf.  He decided it was worth a go-out so before he drove back to get his board, he did this and basically made everyone want to build their own AV8.

Site Redesign and First Pic of the Blog!

I realize that it has been a while since I’ve done anything new on this website.  The main reason is that it wasn’t exactly easy to make changes to it.  So I have decided to switch to a blog type website using WordPress.  This will definitely make it easier for me to share more recent photographs I’ve taken.

To kick things off, I thought I’d post an oldie but a goodie.  This is a portrait I took of surfer/shaper, Tyler Hatzikian using a 4×5 Sinar P and my last few sheets of Polaroid type 55 film.
