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…

Brothers

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.

I spent part of March and most of April in the Southern Hemisphere. Rode some waves and shared good times with good people. Covered a lot of ground….drove 3000 kms in a week.

I will post a few photos here as they gradually become digitized. Will also add new galleries to my site soon…
