I learn so much from friends


I admire their
passion / POV


I carefully study their technique,
approach to subject matter,
visual communication


Tyler Manson,
a friend and filmmaker
has influenced my awareness
of composition and storytelling
in the film format


quiet, minimal, intimate

even for the
non-surfer, you find
yourself wanting to listen


I have learned that
like architecture, surfing
is an art and science


its about design,
proportions relative
to nature and the zen
of letting it all go to
catch the wave

Wow! so cool that he is your friend. surfers journal was practically my bible for many years. I feel like surfing is most like landscape architecture, wherein after a certain point the elements of nature are beyond ones control, no matter how studied. understanding the patterns of the ocean and the ergonomics of surfboard are necessary tools, often laughed at by the force of the sea.

Nicely put Fitz. And Lee.

Love how you explain a feeling, in ways I could never vocalize. Makes me think about it all again. And again. And again. Hmmm.

Thanks for posting and viewing the shorts.
