Spot (Original Oldfartsurfer No. 6) has become an accomplished olfartsurfphotographer. His early works presented youthful artistic passion through a lens of travel photojournalism. More recently his work has been influenced by the spontaneity and freedom of expression of the great surfphotojournalists such as the Mexican, Stu Gibson and the late Peter Crawford.
These two photos taken at the recent Quicksilver Pro in at Snapper Rocks show the quality and professionalism of Spot's work. According to Spot "the secret to these photos was superior positioning on the rocks". "I outmaneuvered the Mexican (Original Oldfartsurfer No. 4) who could only get back of head shots" spot went on and on. "In the end The Mex gave up and handed me his trusty Canon EOS 500D"
Spot reckons the money shot is the air by the white singlet during the Expression Session. However, the Oldfartsurfer reckons the one red singleted Kelly Slater slotted in a sandy barrel wasn't too bad. Having just won his 10th World Title the great man went on to win this event, the first of the new year.
