A Lesson in Three Images is an exploration of photography's lasting impact on the culture and history of surfing and an interrogation of it's place in a post print landscape. Three Images is told from the perspective of a young surfer growing up without any of the iconic magazines that served as cultural touchstones, influencing and informing the world of surfing for over half a century. After finding an old discarded Surfer magazine, our protagonist finds his way to a mysterious exhibit where he is taken on an audio visual journey through some of the most impactful images in the history of surfing. Grant Ellis (former photo editor of Surfer Magazine, current photo editor at The Surfer's Journal) serves as narrator, offering historical context and relating the cultural significance of each image, while contemplating the future of still photography in a world overwhelmed by shortened attention spans and relentless audio/visual inputs.
