Fishtales

Paul Fisher seems like a regular Aussie reveller. Except whatever havoc he gets up too, he's got a camera there to capture it all. I posted a video yesterday on the book called Dam Day, where him and professional monster wave surfer Ryan Hipwood, slide down a dam on boogie boards and basically make the viewer uber jealous. Got plenty of other videos on his website and vimeo account, should check them. Fish makes mistakes is certainly one for the ages.

"They inspired me to take a series of pictures, to build a platform that allows you to compare. The pictures in my Close Up series have all been taken from similar angles and with the same equipment, but here I have tried to bring out personality and capture individuality in a search for a flash of vulnerability and integrity.'
