Summer, Day, Dream.
Have managed this summer to get out there and surf a bit. Lately just me, my board and my camera down the coast, tenting it and basically taking time out for myself. After a few hours in the water you get this kind of fuzzy peaceful feeling inside, equal parts exhaustion and elation. I love that headspace of daydreaming, and find it a really inspirational state for visual ideas to come to the surface.

I really like how the boy is out of focus. This effect makes you feel that you’re the surfer boy and your zoned in on finding that ideal ocean and wave to catch. Well done!
