What Youth || Fairly Normal || Dane Reynolds

Thanks to social media we often get blips and a few laughs from behind the scenes at Dane Reynolds' house.

 His wife Courtney's Instagram is must-see social media. Between Sammy, Boogie, Pam and the pigeons, it's content cute overload.

 And beyond that there's Dane, the man behind those scenes, is front and center in his scenes.

 Dane recently produced Chapter 11, his more or less tell-all about the prime of his professional surfing career and the highs and hurdles stemming from the interesting challenges it presented him personally.

 Below he talks about his next prime.

 Building a continually growing family, starting his new brand FORMER now that he's left Quiksilver, and traversing the world that comes with all that. 

 It's a lot of new in his world. He still loves surfing. Sitting in the parking lot at Emma Wood. And the occasional Modelo.

 But What Youth went over to get a look at how Dane's next chapter is coming along.

Pursuit || Time-Lapse Film

'That’s why this film is called 'Pursuit.' Because you can’t give up. Keep chasing, keep pursuing. Whatever it is. That’s the only way to get what you want.' 

 Pursuit is the latest cinematic masterpiece to come from time-lapse photographer and storm chaser Mike Olbinski.

 Across three months, Olbinski chased storms through 10 states in USA and over 28,000 miles, eventually shooting over 90,000 photos to capture the pure majesty of storm clouds passing over breathtaking landscapes. 

 

While the end result may be beautiful, Olbinski actually writes about the difficulties he encountered while filming which, at one point, made him breakdown in tears.

 Watch Pursuit below!

NY || Beautiful_ Monster

I get out of the taxi and it's probably the only city which in reality looks better than on the postcards, New York. - Milos Forman

Andriy Kyryllov captured the city in a very different way.
