From the lens of the very talented and very Australian human, Riley Blakeway comes his latest in a string of slightly off-beat yet very well executed short films and rip clips, a short film/documentary THOM- A Portrait of Modern Youth .
The film is about the existence of another Australian human being, 19 year old Thom Pringle, a budding surf star cut from a slightly more interesting cloth.
In the words of Mr. Blakeway: "A short, experimental documentary piece about a 19 year old teen growing up in Australia- Exploring the mind of modern youth and Generation Y."
Riley's inspiration for the film came from a 70's American documentary about a boy raised by hippies in the Haight-Ashbury area of San Francisco.
Here she is, in her glory below, and also check out this digi-zine thing he crafted to accompany the project.

"Record" for Largest Wave Ever Ridden Trivializes Big-Wave Surfing
A return to old-school measuring techniques is in order
Consider two representations of two very big waves, below. The first is a photograph of Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank. The second is a video of Garrett McNamara near Nazare, Portugal. Now take out some measuring tape and make the distance of one foot between your hands. That's the amount, according to the Billabong XXL committee, that McNamara's wave is bigger than Parsons's wave.
