Day 18: Surfing, Photography and Coconut Beer!
A Creative Life of Art & Travel - An Automatic Happy Life?
Amidst photos of incredibly beautiful beaches, towering waves, and charismatic surfers, I contemplated the life of photographer, Art Brewer. Traveling around the world and taking action surfing photos seemed like an ideal life. So I asked him. Do you have a happy life?
He smiled and said he had his issues like any one else and yes, the nature of his work did bring him much happiness. How could it not?
Here is a man with a passion and doing what he loves. His photos transformed me and swept me into another world, where I rode a wave, stood on top of a volcano, and looked over a vast blue ocean.
The bottom line is we create our own lives and we have choices. I liked his choices and the coconut beer I drank at the exhibit. So what if I ate a little too much tonight. I was riding a wave.
