Photo: Grannis Collection
I have to add comment to what started as a good-luck card to some friends who have made out an exciting new life in California, and tell you about the inspiration for this image.LeRoy Grannis (who sadly passed away last month) was regarded as the “Godfather of surfphotography” by The New York Times. His work optimised surf culture from the mid 40′s onwards.
In 2006, Tachen chronicled his work in a publication LeRoy Grannis, Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s. You can buy by clicking here.
