What is Quality Peoples?
Hi, my name is Ed. I’m a graphic designer who lived in L.A. I quit my job, sold my car, rented out my house and moved to Mexico. Along the way, I learned how to surf and fell in love. This blog is my story. In these pages I write about and photograph my daily experience. I also post about things I find interesting: art, design, photography, music, tech, etc...

It’s Her Turn Now.
The US Campaign for Burma is still kicking with daily videos showcasing Burma’s fight against its military junta.
The above video is a collaborative effort. Isaiah Seret wrote and directed the video. Our nomadic homie Alexander Kori Girard created the drawings and hand-drawn type. I put all the pieces together, added the type cards and laced it all with a bright shiny ribbon. Jesse Klein edited it. and that’s Beirut on the track with “The Penalty”.
Again, do yourself a favor and watch it in high quality, under the lower right hand side of the video.
More on Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced kinda like “on son sue chee”).

Sunday Log Rolling
So Saturday night I gathered the troops to wake up early Sunday morning for another sunrise log rolling session. Christian, Andrew and I all dutifully woke up before dawn to catch the small little waves, even smaller then Saturday’s. None-the-less, we had a ton of fun and used what we had learned the day before to improve on our movie-making skills. Here’s Sunday’s movie:

Saturday Morning Sliding
Induced by recent viewings of surf videos with odes to longboards, I got up at 6:30am and accompanied my buddy, Christian, to slide the morning away. We trucked it out to Burros and caught the sunrise. There was absolutely no swell and tiny little waves, but that’s why sliding is so much fun, you don’t need big waves. I brought along the Pentax Optio WP camera, the little underwater jobbie. We played with the video setting and this is the result:
