surfing has long captured the imagination...
from homer's ILLIAD, book 20: "when these foals played over the grain-giving ploughland, they could run across the tops of the ears of corn without bruising the crop: and when they played on the sea's broad back, they would run along the surface of the waves where the grey sea breaks."
a beautiful image. even though we normally think of surfing as having originated in hawaii, and we know that tiny reed boats were used in the waves along the coast of peru for thousands of years, people have always dreamed about walking on water...
and there is a photographer, clark little, who captures these dreams...
the clark little photography is amazing. he captures the wave at a vantage point i have never seen and likely never will.
