Living a beachfront childhood in California, in his late twenties he began to venture into photography of his habitat. In the 1960’s he enjoys a reputation that led The New York Times to dub him “The Godfather of Surfphotography”.
Watching his beautiful pictures, i blame myself for not being able to surf! His photos are truly amazing, definitely while listening to Dick Dale.
