Refresh

It has been a little quiet up here, since I've been to Spain and France for a surf trip with my buddy Roman. I'll try to find some time to go through and edit a good load of shots I've taken throughout the rad trip! Currently I have another job going on so allow me some time to post some updates, I'll do so asap! Meanwhile, have a great weekend! Life's good!

THE CRASH REEL

I just watched the dramatic story of the life-changing accident of US snowboarder Kevin Pearce back in 2009. The documentary provides deep insight into Kevin's long and challenging recovery from his serious T.B.I. as well as his life after the crash.
We all know that fun comes with a lot of risk but hardly ever realise how bad a single wrong turn can go. This film exposes quite bluntly exactly this one moment where things go wrong and how drastically the consequences are. To me, watching it was really intense since I'm somehow able to relate to being out there in sometimes quite dangerous situations in which you usually just tell yourself that nothing bad is going to happen.

Even if you're not a snowboarder or sports addict at all, take the time to watch this inspiring documentary about fragility of life, hope, disillusion and simple, plain happiness.

The Crash Reel Publicity Clip 01

Tim Boal with BMW X5 in Biarritz

I try to think of this spot as a non-commercial short film since the combination of the shots and the voice-over put me into a calm, unhurried mood - however, try ignoring the parts involving the BMW. Put aside the fact that this is a car commercial basically telling you that surfing gets better with a BMW X5 (ha ha), for me, it all merges nicely together into a single piece of great visual storytelling.

Massive Flickr Update

my photostream on Flickr.

Yesterday I took the time to upload almost 500 shots to my Flickr photostream. It's been a while since I last uploaded photographs but now there should be far enough pictures for you to look at. Pictures reflecting what I've been up to throughout the last months and years. I appreciate my life every day and keep on trying to capture as many precious and fun moments as possible. Have a look and enjoy..

(PS. I've not found the time to geo-tag and label all of them properly, so check back soon for more in-depth info)

X Games Detroit

Detroit itself has always caught my attention as a city with quite some history and stories to tell. A new collective now wants to bring the X Games to Detroit. Operating as Action Sports Detroit LLC, they are working with ESPN to create a new type of X Games partnership that uses conventional structures to create unconventional experiences all with the hope of reinventing the city and state.
Some more info and links here.

But first check out this rad teaser, combining great shots in an industrial setting with quite ear-piercing sounds.

The Twenty

Twenty men, for twenty years, for twenty miles. This is the story of the Surfrider Foundation, Santa Barbara Chapter’s epic struggle to preserve the Gaviota Coast - southern California’s last remaining stretch of unspoiled, rural coastline.

For twenty years, twenty men have withstood a slew of deep-pocket developers, major corporations, and elected officials in their effort to protect the Gaviota Coast’s incredible biodiversity and unparalleled scenic beauty.

Theirs is an inspiring story of ordinary people, fueled by their passion and love for the Gaviota Coast, who stand together against improbable odds to defend one of California’s last great places.

Will you join the 20? We need much more than 20 people to save the coast, forever... Join the fight by inviting your friends HERE!
