LEFT, TOP JOHN JOHN FLORENCE AND KELLY SLATER – SOUTH PACIFIC – 2017 “We had some of the clearest water in the world here, which is why I was underwater most of the day. John John Florence was flying by in the tube, and Kelly had the choice of duck-diving behind me or in front of me—he chose in front. The image embodies the entire theme of the “Proximity” book project and serves as a reminder that every image we make is a collaborative process.”
LEFT, BOTTOM ROB MACHADO – OCEANSIDE – 2019 “Rob is a
photographer, so he knows light as well as anyone, and you can see it in the amount of morning images we’ve made together. His zen-like approach to life on land is echoed in the way he surfs—without any extra movement, in control and poised. We made this image with a very wide-angle fisheye lens, and Rob passed by within a few inches of me after this frame.” RIGHT BLACKS BEACH – FRIENDS - SAN DIEGO 2009 “This image is a constant reminder for me to always keep the lens cap off until you get to the car. I was walking up from the beach after swimming for a few hours when I looked up and saw this wave.”
