The "Death" of Surf Photography: A Lesson in Three Images 

This was so well done. Often times declaring the death of something from the past can be perceived as just being nostalgic with whatever the subject is. In the case of photography, I do believe there is a strong case to declare that prior to mobile phones and social media, photography was one our most powerful ways to convey meaning and purpose. This is a profound loss in terms of our ability to cherish and appreciate. 2 qualities that are important with humanities ability to have compassion and imagination.

Surfer's journal lives The fight continues

It was my window into the world of surfing. I had to travel 2 hours with a train to buy the magazine because there was only one shop in Sweden selling it in the 90s. Back then it was around 28usd in todays money. Since then I travelled every winter searching for waves for over 25 years and now I work with photography. I owe alot of than you to all the surfmags. Thank you

Enjoyed every second of this !

This was Magnificent. Next to High Fashion nothing beats Surf imagery, especially on a delicious glossy page that threatens: "Paper cuts...imminent!"

Chris Burkard " changed" my view of surf photography....i got tired of the sharp 600mm photo.....now stepping back and showing the environment means more to me....more elements..."tiny surfer"...😂i prefer this...the landscape surf pics ....💥

Thanks for this! I still morn the death of the surf magazines. It was the thing I loved and looked forward to getting more than almost anything even food! LOL

What a epic piece.... feeling all of this!

Nice one, miss the surf mags, at least surfers path still around for now

The big thing when I was in high school was who got the newest edition of surfer and surfing first..lol

It's a very well done video but, it doesn't really go into depth of why.... Why the death of surf photography... It hasn't died, it has just changed from print to YT, IG free constant content....
