Dwelling back in time, the work of LeRoy Grannis
The 60’s and the 70’s are golden decades for color photography and for surfing. A Technicolor quest to capture the perfect wave. LeRoy Grannis is one of those who went on that quest. A life long surfer turned photographer in his forties, who’s now part of surf history. Sun soaked california waves, an endless dream…
Taschen, just re-edited, one of the most impressive showcase of Grannis’ work. Because as they say :”This unlimited popular edition is for readers on a budget or who were unable to get their hands on the original limited Collector’s Edition (it sold out in record time and copies were being resold for up to double of the retail price!) “. Lucky you.
Enjoy and go riding.
Those were the days
To commemorate its 25th birthday the excellent skateboard mag Thrasher is giving us a chance to go back in time… to the glory days of the early eighties.
Thrasher started in 1981, and to commemorate you have access now to the 12 mags of the first year !
For any designer it is a dream come true, you’ll love the colors, the type, the layouts… especially since the 12 issues are available to download in pdf.
It’s happening here.
Surfing is safer than soccer or basketball !
This is the result of a study found on the discovery channel website. Indeed, we can learn that a competitive surfers sustained 6.6 significant injuries per 1,000 hours of surfing… wow, it seems already enough but apparently is quite less than other sports.
Now, mums can be quiet : )
