Surf Photography
I was searching for some old vintage surf photos and came across Ryan Tatar (via sites like Aubrey Road and Pineapple Luv). He’s got such an amazing collection going and one of the most unique perspectives i think i’ve seen so far. I loved these he took of a North Carolina surfing posse (he has some of Maine too i want to post!). See how he describes the collection on his site:
“The Cape Fear Kooks is an ongoing photo essay, and subset of the sea-tribes body of work, that focuses on a small pocket sized capsule of eccentric surfers in North Carolina. The photographs in this subset continue the tradition and attributes of the sea-tribes essay, however are specifically focused in the area around the photographer’s home and personal lifestyle. Also, like sea-tribes, the photographs contained here-in, were taken with fully manual 1960s and 1970s era equipment and shot on a variety of black and white, cross processed, and expired films. The colours are unique to the film processing technique (various slide films processed in C-41 chemicals), and were not manipulated with photo software or other trickery.”
I thought the photos below had such a great color scheme to work with…a grouping of these framed would be so fun in a Hawaii home!
