<---- New Reports for Yesterday and Today.
Those that checked out the photos of Branden Aroyan and the video by John Lynch last night were in for a spectacular multi-media sensation. The 1/2 hour or so of slides that Branden presented featured photos from here (Rincon, Coal Oil Point, PCH, Sandspit .... etc) and abroad (Hawaii, Philippines, Samoa....etc). Branden certainly has a way with a lens and manages to have a good eye for subject and framing. Check out some of his photos or memorize his bio and start stalking him.
Librium, on the other hand was 35 minutes of visual bliss put together by John Lynch, another local boy. Featuring Hawaii, Florida, Samoa, and Australia and a kickin soundtrack with the likes of Blackalicious/Ben Harper, Gorrillaz, Ozomatli and Modest Mouse to name a few. Hopefully we'll see some more homegrown stuff by these guys and hopefully they'll put more local stuff in. John's comment after the show was he never shoots film here cause when it's good, he wants to get wet. However on a surf trip he gets so dog tired of riding perfect waves all day that he doesn't mind shooting for awhile. Nice life.
"South of Point Conception...The Westerly swell will begin to affect the inner Waters late Saturday. Surf Heights will Reach 5 to 7 feet Saturday night..."
Oh and for all you dawn patrollers... this Sunday's dawn patrol will be especially glorious because Vandenberg is launching and old cold war era Titan II ICBM (equipped with a meteorological satellite) between 6:18 and 6:33 AM, so it could be quite a site.
