Summary |
The 1960s was a decade like no other, the culture, the music and the fashions. It also saw a surfing boom that bred innovation in surfboard design, changes in lifestyle, and most importantly, the development of 'surf' photography. Mal Sutherland, John Pennings, Barrie Sutherland and Bob Weeks were pioneers of the genre, four young guys who blended their love of the beach with a passion for photography. This book represents a snapshot into the imagery of the time, a time now known as 'the golden era of surfing'. There were perhaps a dozen committed surfing photographers (total) in the 1960s, so this book represents a significant portion of the 35mm film shot in Australia through this decade, making 'Surfing in the Sixties' an even more valuable record. |
