Shooting the U.S. Open of Surfing
Loose connection... I'm looking toward video editing as my next great "mountain to climb", so articles about all aspects of video creation come my way. When this one about filming surfing contests crossed my screen, I thought it appropriate for the blog.
Maybe there's another video photographer in this group... Any sort of photography would be a natural addition to the adventurous lifestyle, as a visiting ex-yachtie friend pointed out last week. He was complimenting me on a chapter in my book where I discuss "What Happens to Old Yachties". The conclusion I draw there is that as you are adventuring and seeing the world, it's always wise to be developing a hobby or skill that could become another way of making a living. This is because the Yachtie lifestyle rarely extends past a person's mid-40's. I can tell you now, at almost 45 years of age, this was some of the best advice I ever received. I'm now watching my friends - in their 40's - struggling to either stay in the yachting biz or find new ways of earning a living.
SO, keep a journal, take pictures... Imagine yourself selling them...
