I'm really excited to be half way through an amazing project, photographing and cataloguing an awesome collection of early New Zealand surf photography. One of the 'Godfathers' of NZ surfing, the incredible Denis Quane, has entrusted me with this project (well, I did pester him to let me do it).
It's a comprehensive look at NZ surfing from the 50s on, with photos of not just the surfers but the manufacturers here and in Australia also; a peek inside their factories and showrooms.
It's a remarkable collection for so many reasons and I hope Denis will be keen to share it sometime in the future once it has been safely preserved as pixels. Watch this space...
