Robert Brown
I got serious about being a
pro-photographer after high school. It took forever to achieve it for real.
This book is the culmination of forty-six years of buying-rigging-fixing-selling-upgrading boats, focusing, carrying equipment, timing, maneuvering, estimating, coordinating, and commitment to finding and shooting the biggest surfable waves on earth. Add to that the massively expensive switch to new digital technology, and then auto-focus in the early 2000s (which made manual focus telephotos obsolete). But most of all, it’s a culmination of trust and dedication. Trusting ourselves to nail it, trusting the surfers to charge, and documenting the exciting early era of Todos Santos, Mavericks, and the biggest of them all, the legendary Cortes Banks.
“Over more than three or four decades of relentless chasing, RB captured one of the most pivotal eras in big wave surfing and the people willing to commit everything to it.”
“RB was there for the pinnacle of our surfing lives, he got us there and never missed the shot.”
