Art of Surfing - 5x7 California Greeting Card by Mark Tisdale.
This California greeting card features an image I consider an ode to the art of surfing. My first experience with watching people surf was on a day spent along the coast in California years ago. I had honestly never thought much about surfing one way or the other before that day but every since then I've enjoyed taking time to watch. I'm not sure I have the grace or the patience to try it but I love to watch!
This art of surfing card is based on a photo that I took during that first experience as a surfing spectator. I was on the coast at Santa Cruz and had wandered down to the water's edge with the plans to capture a few landscapes and seascapes. When I spotted a few guys paddling out I paused to watch. There was a lot of fails on my part to photograph the swift speed of a surfer cresting the wave but it gave me a lot of images to work from later! A print of this scene hung in my cube at work for years as a sort of zen reminder of the peace I felt watching those guys working on the art of surfing on a beautiful day in California.
What attracted you to the image on this greeting card? Are you a surfer or shopping for one? Or maybe you call Santa Cruz home and this scene captures a little local flavor for you?
