STONER at MOLLUSK in VENICE

click to enlarge

Met up with some friends at Mollusk last Saturday nite
to check out the Stoner Show. The place was packed
even for an on again off again rain soaked evening.
Stoner's photographs were even more amazing in
printed form. The area where they were displayed
was packed with admirers seemingly at all times
and it was difficult to snap pics in there, perhaps I'll shoot
some during the day for a later post. For now here are
some pics of the crowd.

At the risk of sounding cliche', there was a great vibe
in the air, a real "free and easy" affair (so 60's Venice right?).
There were smiles, laughter amidst inspired photographs
and art, beautiful surfboards, master shapers, hero surfers,
artists, fans of surf culture, even the guy (or girl) who burned you
at first point a few weeks back...
All in all, good times.

16mm film test

Pulled out my 16mm camera last summer and
shot a couple of test rolls at first point.
We did a one light minimal color correction telecine
on it and this is what we got. There is nothing
quiet like shooting with real film, just wish
it was more cost effective than shooting with
video. The footage is uncut & completely raw apart
from the Allman Bros. Melissa track and split screen.
There are some some familiar sliders ( and quiet a few falls & dug rails..).
A little sunshine and warm water for a gloomy and
rainy Southern California Wednesday.

Resintint Profiles

This is the first installment of a series of
surf related vids I will be posting.
This one is of Chad Marshall of the
notorious Brothers Marshall, riding
his Alaya. A very hard board to ride
(super thin and fin-less) Chad gives
us a little look into the boards of
ancient Hawaiians.
