further, going deeper in barrels or longer in the water (last year I made my record of 9 hours straight shooting Padang!) The hard part of photography for me is when someone looks at a shot and doesn’t give it the proper respect it deserves, doesn’t try to see what the photo is really trying to pass on, and also the little reward you get for a shot by the surf brands and companies that also live from the surf. I am not talking about the expensive equipment or my own effort, it’s about appreciation, art. Anyway, I will keep doing what I love, and what I live for, photography. EVERTON LUIS
