Now hipster artists who love the random artiness that Lomography cameras produce can take those retro rigs underwater thanks to a collab between Rip Curland Lomography.
Using Japanese fish eye optics, the analogue camera built using rugged materials is definitely for the adventurous with its bright block colours the camera takes crystal clear shots with a 180° view whether you’re 1cm or a mile away. As well as a special multiple exposure switch allowing you to take unlimited shots on one frame making sure you don’t miss a thing. The Rip Curl Fish Eye can even take pictures underwater (with its specially designed waterproof casing) making it the definitive camera for holiday goers looking for an edgy, fun camera to let their imagination run wild.
Only 2,000 were made so act fact, click here and buy one immediately. They are only $85.
Dean Morrison was hit over the head with a bottle by a man he did not know in Coolangatta on Sunday night (July 4, 2010) while having a night out with friends at a Griffith Street Hotel, according to a story on Goldcoast.com.au. The Courier Mail reported it as The Sands Hotel.
Morrison could not be contacted yesterday but the Coolangatta surfer’s longtime mentor Wayne ‘Rabbit’ Bartholomew confirmed the incident. . . Bartholomew last night said the recently married 29-year-old was shaken by the incident and lucky not to have been killed. . . “He had gone out in his home town to have a few beers with his mates, which you should be able to do,” said Bartholomew. . . “He was just sitting down and some guy came along and nailed him in the skull with a bottle. . . “It knocked him out and he hit the ground on his head. I think what saved him was the fact that he was sitting down.
Morrison was taken to the hospital with “a broken cheekbone and numerous facial gashes.” A 20-year-old man from Nunderi has been charged and will appear in court on July 26. We hope the Dingo recovers quickly and that the man is prosecuted to the full extent.
Comic-Con fans are all atwitter lately with news that surfer Erica Hosseini was auditioning for the part of Willow in the next X-Men movie. A week ago on Twitter Erica said: “Just got a call to audition for a new mutant character in the next X-MEN movie! This should be interesting…” and now blogs like Straight 2 DVD are interviewing her.
It would be cool to break into the film industry, but I’m not going on auditions and trying for a career change. If the opportunity comes I will without a doubt accept it…. but it has to be the right fit. My dream movie would probably be some super hero action film, with a crazy costume. That just sounds really fun! I love stunts, so i would want lots of action 🙂
We’ve never seen an X-Men film, but if they put Erica in we’ll check the next one out for sure.
Anyone thinking about finally going out for a SUP session may think two or three more times after seeing Brody Jenner and Avril Lavigne’s July 4 outing. . . Apparently, the paparazzi who shot this photo escaped Malibu without getting punched.
A 19-year-old surfer who out near Pismo Beach, California’s Silver Shoals was nipped on the foot by a shark, according to a story in the San Jose Mercury News.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says . . . he was out of the water with a cut on his left foot when fire personnel arrived. . . The surfer described the shark as approximately four feet long, brown in color with dark spots.
Officials kept the beach open, but posted some warnings to give other surfers something to worry about between sets.
Surfing areas around the country are now open to anyone who wants to use them under the new Regulation of Surfing Areas Decree. . . In the past some top surfing areas were restricted by hotels or resorts that had leases over the area and imposed payment and conditions for their use. The Decree cancels any existing instrument of title, including any lease or license – without payment of any compensation.
Sayed-Khaiyum hasn’t decided exactly when this new decree is going into effect so don’t start packing yet. We can say this–-having surfed Tavarua’s waves while the entire Fijian parliament was being held hostage at gunpoint for 58 days by George Speight, we don’t think Cloudbreak and Restaurants are in any danger of getting barged anytime soon.
In other Fiji news Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum (who is also reportedly “responsible for the Justice Ministry and Attorney General’s Office”) has also decreed that every person in Fiji who has a phone must provide a photograph of themselves along with all personal information or their phone service will be terminated.
As we’ve heard several times, “All that is happening on the other side of the country.”
Dave Hickey, in a recent essay writes: “In its initial vogue, these works spoke directly to a new kind of artistic decorum—less aggressive than pop, less ideological than Minimalism, and less maidenly than post-painterly abstraction. . .
Snowboarders Kevin Jones and Travis Rice get to feel superior to Andy Irons for a day of powder at Targhee Cat Ski and some park riding at Jackson Hole. We doubt they’ll return the favor by paddling out at Teahupoo any time soon.
