Elias is a norcal critter who inhabits a hilltop burrow in San Francisco. We met years ago during the worlds coldest central California summer surf trip. Even still, much fun was had making hobo pies and enjoying the company. Elias makes surfboards up in SF and you should check out his website for more of the critter vibe. But today, we have a bunch of his pictures from a trip to New Zealand. Looks fun, let’s go. Oh, and his camera has a light leak it turns out.

This new series comes from my friend Oliver in Chicago. Be on the lookout for his new gallery whose name I forget. I’ll ask him, and I’ll also let him add the words for the pictures. Gotta love the dimebag.
As the glaciers of the Siberian tundra recede, park rangers who patrol along the newly ice free area find prehistoric treasures like wooden spears and woven baskets. These items had been dropped ages ago, buried under layers of ice and snow, and suspended in time. They emerge quietly, secretly, with no …

Dave made a record called Buckminster Fuzeboard that was put out on my record label..(download it.. it’s amazing). We spent a week or two mixing it with hoodies on.

One day a few years ago these girls across the street from me where having a garage sale. They had a Polaroid camera and about 10 packs of expired film that I bought for, I think, $8. Because I hate leaving my nice camera in the car when I surf, I started leaving this one in the surf bag with a few packs of film, which is why there are a lot of beach or camping pics. Hopefully someone will start making this film again, I think I’m almost out. …

Everything about Aaron Farley rules. His personality, friendship, photos, wife, kid, band, smile, soccer goaltending….I could just keep going all day with these. Anyone who knows him would agree and add a long list of their own. I just remembered his radio show which also rules. But today we will focus on his photos. (Bad pun maybe intended?) You can enjoy this set for the optical jacuzzi it is, and then mosey to his website for more of that soothing soak your eyeballs so desperately crave in these visually bombarding …

Take-offs and Landings: A year or so ago my friend Bruce Gilbert took off from more than a few years behind a desk and travelled around the world for a year. I could try to put into words how it went, but the pictures tell more story than I could possibly type. As you can see yourself, an epic time was definitely had by Bruce. (Bruce also took the ape promo shot in the about section.)
