Hardcover. Condition: Good. Multilingual. ReviewGranniss pictures are startling. The scenes they record and breaks they document are pristinely beautiful and impossibly vacant. - The New York TimesProduct DescriptionAt a time when surfing is more popular than ever, its fitting to look back at the years that brought the sport into the mainstream. Developed by Hawaiian Islanders over five centuries ago, surfing began to peak on the mainland in the 1950s-becoming not just a sport, but a way of life, admired and exported across the globe. One of the key image-makers from that period is LeRoy Grannis, a surfer since 1931, who began photographing the longboard era of the early 1960s in both California and Hawaii.This edition brings back Granniss hair-raising, sold-out Collectors Edition, curated from the photographers personal archives, to showcase his most vibrant work in a compact and affordable format-from the bliss of catching the perfect wave at San Onofre to dramatic wipeouts at Oahus famed North Shore.An innovator in the field, Grannis suction-cupped a waterproof box to his board, enabling him to change film in the water and stay closer to the action than any other photographer of the time. He also covered the emerging surf lifestyle, from surfer stomps and hordes of fans at surf contests to board-laden woody station wagons along the Pacific Coast Highway. It is in these iconic images that a sport still in its adolescence embodied the free-spirited nature of an era-a time before shortboards and celebrity endorsements, when surfing was at its bronzed best.About the AuthorOver the past decade working as Surfer magazine's globe-roaming editor at large, photojournalist Steve Barilotti has made it his business to document the sport, art, and lore of surfing. He has also written for The Perfect Day and books by renowned surf photographers Art Brewer and Ted Grambeau.Jim Heimann is the Executive Editor for TASCHEN America. A cultural anthropologist, historian, and an avid collector, he has authored numerous titles on architecture, pop culture, and the history of Los Angeles and Hollywood, including TASCHENs Surfing, Los Angeles. Portrait of a City, California Crazy, and the All-American Ads series.LeRoy Granniss initial foray into surfing began at age 14, but it wasnt until the age of 42 that he picked up a camera and made a career out of it. Under doctors orders to take up a hobby, Grannis built a darkroom in his garage and began shooting surfers at Hermosa Beach, and "Photo: Grannis" quickly became a hallmark of the California surf scene of the 1960s. Grannis is considered one of the most important documentarians of the sport, and was inducted into the Surfing Hall of Fame in 1966. He died on February 3, 2011.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In einer Zeit, in der Surfen populärer denn je ist, blickt dieses Buch auf die Jahre zurück, in denen dieser Sport zum Mainstream wurde. Surfen - vor mehr als fünf Jahrhunderten auf Hawaii erfunden - erreichte das amerikanische Festland um 1950 und eroberte es im Sturm. Das Spiel mit den Wellen war nicht nur ein Sport, sondern eine Lebenseinstellung; und die Kultur, die es umgab, wurde in alle Welt getragen und in aller Welt bewundert. Eine Schlüsselfigur dieser Ära war LeRoy Grannis - seit 1931 Surfer und seit den frühen sechziger Jahren Fotograf der Szene von Kalifornien und Hawaii.Diese Sammlung aus Grannis' Privatarchiv zeigt eine einzigartige Auswahl an Surf-Fotografien - vom Glück, in San Onofre auf der perfekten Welle zu reiten bis hin zum dramatischen Kampf mit dem Ozean am North Shore von Oahu. Grannis galt damals als Pionier: Er hatte eine wasserfeste Box an seinem Surfbrett befestigt und wechselte seine Filme auf dem Wasser - so konnte er den Sportlern näher kommen als jeder andere Fotograf. Seine Motive sind zugleich Abbilder des Lifestyle dieser Zeit; sie zeigen 'surfer stomps', ganze Horden von Fans bei Wettkämpfen und mit Brettern beladene Wagen entlang des Pacific Coast Highway. Solche Bilder lassen die Epoche wieder aufleben, als Surfen noch in der Entwicklung steckte und mit einem Gefühl von Freiheit und Natur verbunden war - als es ganz einfach seine besten Zeiten erlebte.
