The waves are crashing around my body as I shoot this. Think of it as conceptual art. The concept is where most surf movies go wrong is depicting big waves, pro surfers, great rides. Real surfing is little waves, lots of waiting and falling down and maybe one or two decent rides a day if you are lucky. I'm hoping for an angel to provide enough investment for good equipment to shoot a movie about real surfing, regular shlobs wiping out a lot. (Tripod not useful, care to provide the camera? 10% of the proceeds?)
I am a bookseller with about 20 years experience, having taken up the trade after retiring as a trial lawyer. I deal exclusively in books on Mexico & bullfighting. I am sole proprietor of my shop in Playas de Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. I am also the list owner for The Bibliophile Mailing List, an email discussion list of book dealers, collectors, librarians, & others interested in the book trade.
My unfulfilled ambitions are first, to play violin with such artistry as to make a Spanish Gypsy cry and second, to survive with grace in the arena with a full grown toro bravo.

Lynn - You need a (1) tripod, or (2) a Steadicam, and (3) bigger waves!
