God Went Surfing With The Devil.
A stunning blog by skater Alex Klein and photographer Bryan Derballa documenting their trip to the Middle East. They approach the Isreal/Palestine issue through their surfing excursions with kids living on both sides. I was surprised to learn that people are surfing in Gaza!? (as it's a deadly war zone)...the photos show how surfing brings the kid joy+escape from their brutal environment. Alex writes about what was happening at the time of each photo...a vivid look into life in the Middle East right now. The plan is to make a film out of their video footage-I can't wait!
