Polaroid phone

Day 3 – visual diary by Theo Stanley @theo_stanley I like to think of the iPhone as a Polaroid equivalent.

Skim boarder

Skim boarder waits for the right swell. Surfers own the beach down here, yet skim boarders epitomize the summer scene. I’ve never seen a skimmer in winter. Skimmers are also younger, 10-15 I’m guessing. Summer is almost gone. The next full moon will find this boy back in math class . All the more reason …
