James Danzinger (of the Danzinger Gallery in NYC) has a blog and it’s wickedly good: The Year in Pictures. In a recent post, Danzinger gives a run-down on some of Tom Adler’s surf-culture related work from books on surfing’s golden years by photographers Ron Church and Don James to Swell’s impressive branding and identity. If there were ever an art-director who I’d love to work under, it’d be Tom Adler. His work is inspirational. A friend of mine gifted me Adler’s Ron Church: Surf Contest book and it’s an absolutely amazing time capsule of surf-culture history.
