POLAROIDS, STRAWFOOT HANDMADE, AND SANTA CRUZ

I have a newly realized passion in shooting with my Polaroid SX-70. The new film from the Impossible Project is pretty good. After a few disappointing results with their early stuff and what was an inferior camera I had at the time, I’m a full blown believer. It’s not cheap, but it is beautiful. The warm tones are a new look for my work instead of the deep saturated colors from cross processing. The soft colors, focus, and unpredictability are really fun to work with. I’ve purchased a big pack of film for my trip to Bali next week. Hopefully the humidity of the tropics doesn’t get in the way. One thing about this camera is that it is fairly fragile. I’m used to rugged all metal 35mm cameras that I can toss in a bag and roll. I’m on my second camera already after frying the first post surf in Bolinas. It’s sort of awkard to carry around and does not fit in your pocket. I immediately thought of my buddy Garrett Kautz in Santa Cruz who runs a small outfit called Strawfoot Handmade hand making man gear like dopp kits, key fobs, and bags for moving stuff. He was kind enough to make me a custom SX-70 case out of a light weight waxed cotton canvas with dead stock vintage military webbing for a strap. Really stoked on the result… he’s a talented dude… just handed him my camera and he went to work. I’m ready to shoot and surf in Bali next week. For anyone that is interested in one of these, contact Garrett at Strawfoot and he’ll probably m ...

MMA: Santa Cruz's Luke Rockhold looks to continue career climb in UFC debut

Just after being interviewed in 2006 about his impending trip to the Brazilian jiu-jitsu world championships, which was the last time Luke Rockhold traveled to Brazil, the Santa Cruz native suffered a nasty spill. Biking down a hill back to his day job, the chain on Rockhold's cruiser popped off, resulting in a belly slide that left him with a busted chin that required 10 interior stitches and 15 exterior stitches. The injury was so bad that he was unable to train in the month leading up to the championships, where he eventually performed below his own expectations. Very little has managed to keep Rockhold down since that day. The Soquel High graduate has instead undergone a meteoric rise in the mixed-martial arts world, ever since he won the Strikeforce middleweight belt in September 2011. And whereas Rockhold won gold at the BJJ world championships the year following his cruiser crash, essentially kickstarting his career, the 28-year-old middleweight is now poised to take another monumental leap forward with his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut Saturday night. Rockhold will take on MMA veteran Vitor Belfort in the headlining event at UFC on FX 8 in Santa Catarina, Brazil. The fight will be televised on FX beginning at 6 p.m. No longer bruised and battered, the circumstances have certainly changed for Rockhold in his return trip to the South American country. "Well, I'm healthy, for one. I've been training, and I've done eve ...

Outside Roundup: Santa Cruz's Raven Tershy advances to X-Games final

Fri, 17 May 2013 07:01:25 GMT

Source: www.santacruzsentinel.com --- Friday, May 17, 2013
Santa Cruz High graduate Raven Tershy recorded the top score in his heat and third best overall to advance to the Men's Skateboard Park finals at Summer X Games Barcelona in Spain on Thursday. It was Tershy's first X Games since he took gold in the same event in Los Angeles in 2011. The finals will be televised on ESPN on Sunday beginning at 7 a.m. The 20-year-old compiled a score of 71 on his two best runs during Thursday's elimination round. Competitors were given 40 seconds per run, with a total of five runs. Tershy recorded a 31 and a 40 on his two best tries, the latter of which he used the full clock and earned the praise of commentator Tony Hawk, who noted Tershy's stalefish and frontside nosegrab. "That was his best run, by far," Hawk said following Tershy's run of 40. It was just enough to edge Kevin Kowalski's 68 in the elimination heat. Only Curren Caples (79) and Brad McClain (74) scored higher than Tershy in the elimination round. The top 10 competitors will compete in Sunday's finals. Watsonville's Cody Webb, meanwhile, is expected to compete in Saturday's Enduro X event at Summer X Games Barcelona. Last month, Webb took silver in the event when X Games traveled to Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. Enduro X will be televised by ESPN Saturday beginning at 7 a.m. MOUNTAIN BIKING Santa Cruz biker Jacob Albrecht looks to defend his title as he enters Sunday's California Mountain Biking League championship as one of the top three i ...
