A film about a photographer making a book.

The film is by Morgan Maassen. The book by Ben Thouard, and it's a full-bleed examination of Teahupoo's "extreme hydrodynamics".

Very cool. Love how the last wave appears to bend in relation to the reef.

Embarrasingly, there's no such word as 'turbulences'. You'd think someone would have told him that. But I guess if you want to call that 3 minutes of whatever a 'film', you'd be happy making up any old word for anything.

Nuance in art brings surety to life.
Non words make words.
This post will frustrate you.

I'd be thankfull it wasn't called 'turbulencality'

Cool stuff. In my next life I want to be an underwater surf photographer.

In my next life I want to be a Killer Whale.

Then I'll call it turbulences if I want.

Who's gonna stop me?

Expanding the consciousness of what a 'wave' is.
Definitely calls for the invention of new words.

When the swell is up, what a great place to capture underwater vision.
