Here are some of Patrick Trefz photographs from the making of his 16mm surf film “Thread” that I was fortunate enough to be a part of. We filmed in Santa Barbara (shots of my brother Tom and I in the studio) and traveled to Greece (trees) and Cabo Verde (surf frame grab). Here’s links to Trefz’s websites that have more of his photographs and info on the film and book. He also has a new film in the work, “Idiosyncrasies”, set to release this year. It should be a good one…
A few days before Christmas my brother and I did a big road trip through seven states to see family and to do some snowboarding. We started in Santa Barbara and drove north to the Oregon border, then all the way across Oregon and Idaho, skimmed Wyoming, then drove south through the entire state of Utah in a blizzard, blew through Nevada, then skimmed Arizona before finally arriving back at home. We saw a lot of pretty countryside. There wasn’t a lot of time for taking photos, but this sign in Central Oregon caught our eye.
All of my unframed collages and fine art prints now come in a pine/ply box.
Here are some limited editions posters I just released that will only be available through my website.
I picked two surf images for these posters, one a lineup of Rincon, California and the other a lineup from Southeastern Taiwan. I took both of them with a Hasselblad Xpan panoramic film camera. They are signed and numbered, with a limited edition of 100.
If you are interested in purchasing one you can email me: Joe@JoeCurrenPhotography.com. Or you can find a link to purchase them through Paypal in the shop section of my portfolio:
Todd Glaser photograph of me taken earlier this year halfway into a 16 mile round trip hike in search of surf and isolation in the Southern Hemisphere .
These are some portraits of Dan Malloy taken last weekend on the Central Coast with his 7′6″ single fin gun shaped by Gerry Lopez.
Here are some photos of the East Meets West show at The Surf Gallery in Laguna Beach last weekend.
All of the prints are traditional fiber and c-prints made from the original negative. The Rincon panoramic is a cibachrome print. I made the Africa collage with about 70-80 traditional prints and the frames from tiger-striped myrtlewood from Southern Oregon.
The show should be up another two weeks at The Surf Gallery
Hours: 12-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and by appointment.
