A Return To Old Fashioned Values: Dusty Payne and Brian Bielmann

This is A Return To Old Fashioned Values. In a digital age when surfing imagery is visible to millions, moments after it happens, Stab wanted to remove convenience and glance in the rearview mirror at a time when film photography was king. But, we also wanted to contemporise a little. We partnered up with Bulleit Bourbon to take legendary surf photog Brian Bielmann and contemporary surfer Dusty Payne to the island of Maui, a place of nature. They were allowed no digital cameras, no cellphones, no social media, no internet. Brian shot the whole trip on film, and the photos appeared in Stab issue 72. The exception to the no-digital rule is the clip you’ll watch here.
