Last night, at an award ceremony in Huntington Beach, 21-year old Australian photographer, Duncan Macfarlane, won the Follow The Light Foundation grant. The grant is awarded by Surfing Magazine in memory of their long-serving photo editor, Larry 'Flame' Moore, to help promising photographers further their skills. In the surfing world it is the most prestiguous of its kind.

Duncan, who originally hails from Sawtell but now resides at Burleigh, was quietly excited when I contacted him about his win.

A Year With Duncan

Duncan Macfarlane
Fri 1 October 12:00am
So after completing what felt like an extra year of school I made a point to myself that I would do as much as I could in 2010. True to my self-made promise, I kicked off the year with a two week caravan trip around the South Island of New Zealand in February. In my last couple of days there the surf started to do its thing and I managed to get a few good sessions with an assortment of great surfers, raising my spirits somewhat. In between these trips I have also done more trips up and down the East Coast than I care to count, with various surfers for a number of different projects. I got better waves on these trips than I did globetrotting, proving you don't need to stray far from home to score epic waves. I've had a privileged year so far and am stoked to have gone where I have and met the people I have.
