This video, Dark Side of the Lens, is beautiful on so many levels. The images are mesmerizing, and Surf Photographer Mickey Smith’s poetic and philosophical narrative cuts to the core of what gives life its meaning. You can google and find several interviews with Mickey Smith scattered around the internet, but I especially like this one at Megadeluxe because it’s focused on the making of this video.

. . . If I only scrape a living, at least it’s a living worth scraping.  If there’s no future in it, at least it’s a present worth remembering . . .
