LeRoy Grannis, Surf Photography of the 1960s and 1970s - Reviews
"Mit seiner ostdeutschen 35-Millimeter-Kamera und einem 400-Millimeter-Objektiv schuf Grannis ein einzigartiges Zeugnis des goldenen Zeitalters des Surfens."Surfers, HamburgGermany |

"Within a brief, kinetic decade, Grannis created the world`s collective vision of American surf culture, from the clean-cut surfer of the ‘60s to the rumblings of rebellion ahead in the ‘70s. Each of the 278 pages in (Jim) Heimann and (Steve) Barilotti`s exquisitely bound hardcover volume remind surfer and spectator alike of the pleasure of sun, sand and the always elusive perfect wave."Shelter Interiors, BrooklynUnited States |

"If you drive around the Southern California freeways for any length of time chances are good you will suddenly encounter the gaily wrapped Pacifico beer truck trundling along in the slow lane. There, life-size in fizzy aquamarine hues, is LeRoy Grannis` famous 1966 shot of a hapless surfer being launched by the notorious Makaha shorebreak. It won`t be the first ‘Photo By Grannis` you`ve run into outside a surf magazine. Over the last four decades ‘Granny`s` photos have been featured in several books, on billboards, in documentaries, gallery showings and countless retrospectives about surfing`s Golden Age. More than any other surf photographer, Grannis` work has transcended time and the narrowing cultural chasm between surfers and the mainstream ‘legions of the unjazzed.′"Surfer Magazine, Los AngelesUnited States |

"Surfing was first developed five centuries ago, popularized in the late ‘50s and eternalized by none other than LeRoy Grannis. A surfer since 1931, Grannis traded his board from a camera and began photographing the surfing scene in California and Hawaii in the early ‘60s. This hardcover collector`s edition is limited to 1,000 copies, numbered and signed by the man himself."Driven, TorontoCanada |

"Regardless of your interest or skill in surfing, the lure of surf photography is universal ― it is not about a sport, it is about a lifestyle. When Jim Heimann, an editor at TASCHEN, put together a book on the photographs of LeRoy Grannis, one of the preeminent surfing photographers from the 1960s, the work elevated the genre from documentation to fine art."Robb Report, MalibuUnited States |
