The etnies.com site is running a couple of my Brett Simpson photos from the 2010 US Open of Surfing right here. Kind of cool to see my images up on someone else’s homepage for a change.

Octagon Creates Digital Division
August 18th, 2008 · No Comments
Looks like Wasserman Media Group’s dive into digital properties with Sportnet (skateboard.com, motocross.com, surfspot.com, etc. . . ) has convinced sports management giant Octagon (you know, that swimmer Michael Phelps’ agent) to kick off its own digital division.

Deanna Templeton Photos At Mollusk
April 19th, 2008 · No Comments
I’ve always liked the fresh face Deanna Templeton’s photos put on dirty teens. She has a voyeuristic eye for capturing innocent glances in the oddest places. According to the emerica blog, Mollusk Surf Shop in Venice is presenting a collection of Deanna’s photos titled California Dreams and Realities, the show also features the paintings of [...]

The 54 year-old-surfer from Newquay, England is currently in the hunt for his first world title at the World Masters Surfing Championship in Peru. He is [...]
