Out to sea

Do what you got to do to wait out the lulls.

Bummer

Film happens.

Behind the curve

I’m a little behind on developing film. Actually, scratch that, I’m a lot behind on developing film. I’ve got 12 rolls last time I counted. Some 35mm, some 120mm, some slide, two rolls shot out in the water. Tons of stuff. I’ve been itching to develop them. Hopefully can get a few done this week. Until then I’ll have to make due with some digital snapshots from my trek to the north. Here’s my Jeep, leaving Refugio at sunset after a solo surf.

Home from the road

To say the least, I think I've had a life changing trip. I just got home from spending all of the last 4 days camping alone and surfing in Santa Barbara. I scored all day glass-offs (alone for the most part until three guys showed up and crowded up the place), some of the clearest water I've seen in my life, shot 7 rolls of film, and was able to really unwind and relax. Seeing some close friends and spending some time wandering around the city shooting some photos at night capped it off.

I’ve got to say thanks to Surfline for calling for it to be flat in Santa Barbara all weekend. It wasn’t. And no one bothered to check but me.

I'm Off

Santa Barbara bound (however not by train this time).

Heading north

I'm really looking forward to this upcoming weekend. On a whim I've decided to take a 4 day surf/camp/explore/soul search trip to Santa Barbara. I've got the Jeep loaded down with surfboards, cameras, wetsuits (I'll need them), and is fueled up and ready to go. Hoping for some swell (i.e absolutely any waves), and good conditions. Stars should be epic.
