Beau Foster, Salt Creek, California

Small wave, huh? A standard air (though very cool, and stylish), huh? Sure, but check out that background. Yikes. Above Beau Foster (a steezy, elvish-looking kid from the Central Coast of Oz, whom we love muchly), lie the mansions of the OC, housing the sordid affairs of house wives and their pool boys. Above that, the photogenic hills of Cali. There’s beauty in afternoons like this, even when it’s two foot. Y’just gotta look for it. Check out more of Matty’s awesome work, here.
