Bruce Usher

I ran across this legendary photographer today while reading a blog about photography. His name is Bruce Usher. Read his Bio here He is an Aussie who has been at this art photography thing for a while. Ridiculous photography. Click the photo to go to his site at see all his stuff. I recommend visiting his personal photo's first. What I find interesting is how he captures the angles of the waves in the human subjects within the frame.

In 1972, a year after he began shooting with 16mm film, Usher got involved with a project that produced a surf movie called A Winters Tale (Produced by Phil Sheppard & Russell Sheppard and Bruce Usher. Additional photography: Bruce Channon and Midget Farrelly).
What is interesting is that the movie had an intense bootleged sound track of CSNY, Cream, and The Beatles. Good luck finding that on youtube.
There is a rumor that this classic flick will be re released, but I can't find confirmation.
