Sipping Jetstreams By Dustin Humphrey; the Book not the movie!

I just shelled out £60 on Sipping Jetstreams By Dustin Humphrey; the Book not the movie, now thats a pile of wedge for a book, but when the retail price is £100+ I'm not complaining. The book features Dustins Photography, focusing on the places and faces making the movie of the same name took him. Its not page after page of waves, probably only a 3rd of the book is surfing, the rest captures the essence of surf travel and adventure, it's a stunning book that had me inspired to head out with the camera, from grainy black and white shots of hands, faces, and camels, alongside full colour surf shots. If you love photography and love travel, I'd recommend you check it out.

It does this by simply putting you in situations that make you feel like a child again. Magically lost in a moment of discovery. Beautifully confused. It could be the first time you awaken to the 5:00 a.m. call to prayer from the local mosque on Morocco's far Atlantic shore, the first time you feel the weight of the Egyptian sun on your shoulders, the first time you paddle out over the shallow reefs of the Caribbean, or the first time you realise that people living in squalor can achieve happiness as easily as those living in mansions. These are life's opportunities to shed the hustle of modernity, to join the moment, and stop sprinting toward some prefabricated goal. Your heart races. Your metabolism shifts into a lower gear. Everything is new gain..."
