Re: Midlengths

My 7ft Carver Fish is my perfect travel board. Mid fin is slightly smaller than the other two.

Re: Be an art critic

An important artwork. It paved the way for bland photos to be given significance by text. I bet you don't think much of Blue Poles. Possibly the worst potential choice you could make. Pollocks work relies on texture, gesture, movement, immediacy and subconscious impulse to create a symphony of form...

Re: Be an art critic

Perhaps the identity of the photographer may give it some symbolic meaning. I remember seeing one of the earliest photos taken in the NSW Art Gallery. It was as boring as Fcuk. Just a grey rocky plane. The site of a major cavalry charge. Crimean War, 1855 'Valley of the Shadow of Death' by Roger Fe...

Re: Be an art critic

Old photo with a major lack of tonal variation. The identity of the picture may give it the symbolism it lacks as an image.

Re: Indo...is it worth it

Yeah, generally agree. Seminyak is a bit less crowded. It had a bit of a bank when I first went over. Nothing flash but handy to have a bit of a paddle after basically no surf for most of Xmas. Sank a few beers and had a few feeds on the beachfront. The gloss wears off fairly quickly. i prefer Sanur...

Re: Where did you surf today ?

Yeah, managed to actually get in the water for a surf :-)(
Bra, a bit crowded and full out the back but much better than the poop the other Eastern Suburbs Beaches have been serving up lately. A couple of sneakers in the mix as well.
