photo stoner


I read this a while back, its now one of my favourite books. Its actually inspired me to take some photos and while my little Lumix doesn't cut it and I've got heaps to learn, it should be fun along the way.
Looking to get a Canon 500 D body, spend most of my cash on a high quality lens. Just waiting for the ship to come in so I can afford something good.
The book itself tells a very interesting story of an extremely talented and unusual guy who became a legendary surf photographer and then one day dropped off the face of the earth. The photos within capture the essence of surfing perfectly I think. One of the true eccentric figures in surfing history.
