A surfing icon adds a year to the books!
We all get older but not all of us age. Steve Sherman, famous surf photographer, drummer, t-shirt empire impresario is in the latter camp. His images have captivated for seemingly ever. That photojournalistic style gets right to the beating heart of our surf game. Who could forget the iconic images of Andy, Kelly, Sunny Garcia and Taj?
Without Sherm the landscape would be littered with high performance and high resolution but where would we find our passion? Where would we find our story? The kids ain’t getting behind the scenes any more. And they ain’t using film.
Steve Sherman, like a great musician from another time, like Bowie or Bobby Dylan, stands alone and we salute him on this his birthday.
He has taken a lot of photos id like to buy prints of for posters anyone know how that can be done?
Is that Tom Waits in blackface?
All kidding (and hat over-enthusiasm) aside, I’ve always loved his photographs.
Happy Bday Sherm
he’s also a bloody great bloke , and a lotta fun to hang round with…Happy Bloody Birthday Sherm!!!
