Cool photography project with a surfer cleverly placed in the urban environment titled "L’Horizon" by French photographer Romain Laurent. as surfers often escape the pressures and frustrations of the urban environment to the serenity of the ocean, and this flips the whole thing on it’s head… 

It’s easy to forget now, but in the 1960s surfing had a much more symbolic role than it does today, as a repudiation of the stuffy, conformist world of the post war generation – the idea of throwing off social norms and hitting the beach instead had a real countercultural caché. 

Romain Laurent’s latest series L’Horizon could be making a real point by plonking a sunkissed surf dude in the middle of "real life".

A 5 minute video remembering Andy, courtesy of ASPWorldTour.  An amazing video with some nice shots of him surfing, and an interview discussing why he got disenchanted with the Tour and the repetition — and how he believed he won over more fans after he chose to step and make surfing what he wanted it to be.  RIP Andy, forever.
