Memories Like Passport Stamps w/ Morgan Maassen

Santa Barbara’s Morgan Maassen lives a deservedly charmed life, one of the most thoroughly sought photographers to launch their career shooting surfing. 

This week, surely while restless and sleep deprived on a layover somewhere, Morgan cobbled together brief snippets from his travels over the last year in the “USA, Panama, Indonesia, Maldives, Japan, Hong Kong, Brazil, Marshall Islands, Bahamas, Alaska, Sri Lanka, Chile, France, Australia, British Virgin Islands, Hawaii, China, Mexico, Costa Rica, Barbados, England, Amsterdam, Nicaragua, Singapore, Morocco, South Africa, New Zealand, West Sahara, ikea, Greenland, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Philippines, Tahiti…”

Yeah, the guy gets around. 

“I’ve always made these yearly iPhone videos that were inane compilations of all the things I’d see as I went about my life,” writes Maassen. “So I thought I would make something a bit more meditated, something that could both respect and relax the speed of which I fly by the seat of my pants.”
