In between Portugal and Bali Alana Blanchard stopped off in New York City. She took in the sights, did some shopping and chatted with writer Francesca Soroka. Thanks to Eastern Surf Magazine for assigning me such a fun shoot, to see the full interview and the rest of the photos click here: Alana In NYC.
New York, sustains 8 million people and at its heart, Manhattan, 1.6 million. It is the cultural hub of the world. In its vast complexities, surfing only bears a minute portion in the mores of its citizens. To expand this small portion, as to alter the perpetual path of surf culture, Michael Powell, PJ Raia and Ben Powell aim at being evangelists of surf through this featurette spotlighting the Big Apple.

Her presence had taken precedence over your everyday routine.
She overtook your better judgement. The little voice inside that speaks “There’s something off,” you brushed aside. She looked great. And smelled refreshing. The first few encounters you both shared everything seemed on track. You aligned your schedules in advance, you even thought you liked her. She let you in it appeared and you her. Trust. Smiles and sunshine.
Rather than pursuing the glory you spent more time getting to know her. Her bends. Her foibles. You showed yours. Without risk there is no reward, so standing tall or cutting back made no difference. You were happy to go by feel. You looked toward the future: a cache of fun times.
And. Quicker than she came, she left. Abashed. At sea. Unscrewed… The signs were there, you choose to ignore them. Her whims, tidal. Your temperance, benevolent. Did you do this to yourself? (Did I do something wrong, perhaps?) I only brought her myself… how selfish of me. You wonder.
Unshaven and sun burnt you are unsure of what day of the week it is. “What’s today’s date?” You jokingly ask yourself… The initial confusion washed away in the rearview. Learning lessons left in her wake on the Carolina roadway. New York, 440 North. South. New Jersey. Route 36. The Parkway… Hurricanes are such a different breed. I’ll never understand them.
Filmmaker Doug Walker of Lost and Found recently visited the East Coast and ventured to New Jersey to film a photographer profile on me. It was different getting my thoughts out while wearing a mic and being in front of the camera. I had fun doing this video and am pretty pscyhed to share some insight into my photography. Huge thanks to Doug for telling a bit of my story!
