ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Chris Burkard - Surf photographer
Chris Burkard travels to remote, risky and often icy locations to capture stunning images that turn traditional surf photography on its head.

Why you should listen

For most people, surfing evokes sunny sand and warm, blue water in tropical locales. In his book Distant Shores, self-taught photographer Chris Burkard detours to the coastlines of Norway, Iceland and Alaska, shooting surfers as they ride waves on icy beaches that have rarely been photographed -- let alone surfed.

Traveling to often dangerous extremes to discover unknown landscapes, Burkard composes images that transcend the simple action shots of action photography, placing nature at the center of his compositions.

"Sve što vrijedi slijediti tražiti će od nas da patimo, barem malo" kaže surferski fotograf Chris Burkard, objašnjavajući svoju opsesiju hladnim, uzburkanim i najizoliranijim plažama na zemlji. S fotografijama i pričama o mjestima koja nije vidjelo puno ljudi, a još manje ih je ondje surfalo, ostavlja nas bez teksta i uvlači u svoj osobni "križarski rat protiv svakodnevice".

02:54
My parentsroditelji definitelydefinitivno didn't think so
35
162708

Moji roditelji definitivno to nisu mislili
02:56
when I told them at 19 I was quittingodvikavanje od

03:06
I mean, to me, this was it.

But there was just this one problemproblem.
40

Ali postojao je jedan problem.
03:16
You see, the more time I spentpotrošen travelingputujući

41
184510

Vidite, što sam više putovao u

42

03:23
I setset out seekingtraži adventureavantura,
and what I was findingnalaz was only routinerutina.
43
191104

Tražio sam avanturu,
a nalazio samo rutinu.
03:27
It was things like wi-fiWi-fi, TVTV, fine diningblagovaonica,
and a constantkonstantno cellularćelijski connectionveza
44
195679

Wi-fi, TV, fina klopa i konstantna

03:32
that to me were all the trappingskonjska oprema

45
200439
2972
su meni bile klopke mjesta

03:35
in and out of the watervoda,
46
203411
2298
izvan i u vodi,
03:37
and it didn't take long
for me to startpočetak feelingosjećaj suffocatedUgušio.
47
205709

i nije dugo trajalo da me to počne gušiti.
03:43
I beganpočeo cravingžudnja wilddivlji, openotvoren spacesprostori,
48
211106
4117
Počeo sam žuditi za divljim,
otvorenim prostorima
03:47
and so I setset out to find the placesmjesta
othersdrugi had writtennapisan off
49
215223
3442
i tako sam počeo tražiti mjesta
koja su drugi otpisali kao
03:50
as too coldhladno, too remotedaljinski,
and too dangerousopasno to surfudaranje mora o obalu,
50
218665
3878
previše hladne, previše daleke i
previše opasne za surfanje,
03:54
and that challengeizazov intriguedzaintrigirala me.
51
222543
2810
i taj izazov me zaintrigirao.
03:57
I beganpočeo this sortvrsta of personalosobni crusadekrižarski rat
againstprotiv the mundanezemaljski,
52
225353
4132
Krenuo sam u taj osobni križarski
rat protiv svakodnevice,
04:01
because if there's
one thing I've realizedshvatio,
53
229485
2624
jer ako sam išta shvatio,
04:04
it's that any careerkarijera,
54
232109
1852
je da svaka karijera,
04:05
even one as seeminglynaizgled glamorousčaroban
as surfudaranje mora o obalu photographyfotografija,
55
233961
3761
čak i ona naizgled glamurozna,
surferskog fotografa,
04:09
has the dangeropasnost of becomingpostaje monotonousmonotono.
56
237722
2426
može postati monotona.
04:12
So in my searchtraži to breakpauza up
this monotonymonotonija, I realizedshvatio something:
57
240648
3054
U mojoj potrazi za razbijanjem
monotonije, shvatio sam da
04:15
There's only about a thirdtreći
of the Earth'sZemlja je oceansoceani that are warmtoplo,
58
243702
2954
je samo jedna trećina
Zemljinih oceana topla,
04:18
and it's really just that thintanak bandbend
around the equatorekvatora.
59
246656
2931
radi se o uskom pojasu oko ekvatora.
04:21
So if I was going to find perfectsavršen wavesvalovi,
60
249587
2508
Znači, ako želim pronaći savršene valove,
04:24
it was probablyvjerojatno going
to happendogoditi se somewherenegdje coldhladno,
61
252095
2577
vjerojatno će to biti
negdje gdje je hladno,
04:26
where the seasmorima are notoriouslynotorno roughhrapav,
62
254672
1881
gdje su mora zloglasno gruba
04:28
and that's exactlytočno where I beganpočeo to look.
63
256553
2693
i točno ondje sam krenuo s potragom.
04:31
And it was my first tripputovanje to IcelandIsland
64
259246
2531
Na mom prvom izletu na Island sam
04:33
that I feltosjećala like I foundpronađeno
exactlytočno what I was looking for.
65
261777
2719
se osjećao kao da sam pronašao
točno ono što sam tražio.
04:36
I was blownotpuhan away
by the naturalprirodni beautyljepota of the landscapepejzaž,
66
264846
3177
Ostao sam zapanjen prirodnom
ljepotom pejzaža,
04:40
but mostnajviše importantlyvažnije, I couldn'tne mogu believe
we were findingnalaz perfectsavršen wavesvalovi
67
268023
4196
ali što je važnije, nisam mogao vjerovati
da smo našli savršene valove
u tako udaljenom i
neravnom dijelu svijeta.
04:44
in suchtakav a remotedaljinski and ruggedhrapav
partdio of the worldsvijet.
68
272219
3010
04:47
At one pointtočka, we got to the beachplaža
69
275639
2276
Jednom smo na plaži pronašli
04:49
only to find massivemasivan chunkskomadi of iceled

70
277915
3103

nagomilane na obali.
04:53
They createdstvorio this barrierprepreka
betweenizmeđu us and the surfudaranje mora o obalu,
71
281018
2353
Bile su poput prepreka
između nas i surfanja,
04:55
and we had to weavetkati
throughkroz this thing like a mazezbrka
72
283371
2390
pa smo ih zaobilazili
kao da smo u labirintu,
04:57
just to get out into the lineupcrta.
73
285761
1587
samo kako bismo stali u red.
04:59
and oncejednom we got there,
74
287348
1125
Kada smo stigli tamo,
05:00
we were pushingguranje asideu stranu these iceled chunkskomadi

75
288473
3038
gurali smo te gromade na stranu
kako bismo zajahali valove.
05:03
It was an incrediblenevjerojatan experienceiskustvo,
one I'll never forgetzaboraviti,
76
291511
3957
To je bilo nevjerojatno iskustvo,
koje nikada neću zaboraviti,
05:07
because amidstusred those harshgrub conditionsUvjeti,
77
295468
2786
jer sam usprkos okrutnim uvjetima,
05:10
I feltosjećala like I stumbledposrnuo ontona

78
298254

79

05:17
I knewznao I would never find

na plaži prepunoj ljudi.
05:22

ColdHladno watervoda was constantlykonstantno on my mindum,
82

2856
Hladna voda mi je stalno bila na umu
05:28
and from that pointtočka on,
83
316087
1312
i od tog trenutka,
05:29
my careerkarijera focusedusmjerena on these typesvrste of harshgrub

84
317399

and it tookuzeo me to placesmjesta like RussiaRusija,

05:39
And one of my favoriteljubimac things
about these placesmjesta
87
327534
3018
A najdraža stvar kod njih je
05:42
was simplyjednostavno the challengeizazov and
the creativitykreativnost it tookuzeo just to get there:
88

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Chris Burkard - Surf photographer
Chris Burkard travels to remote, risky and often icy locations to capture stunning images that turn traditional surf photography on its head.

Why you should listen

For most people, surfing evokes sunny sand and warm, blue water in tropical locales. In his book Distant Shores, self-taught photographer Chris Burkard detours to the coastlines of Norway, Iceland and Alaska, shooting surfers as they ride waves on icy beaches that have rarely been photographed -- let alone surfed.

Traveling to often dangerous extremes to discover unknown landscapes, Burkard composes images that transcend the simple action shots of action photography, placing nature at the center of his compositions.
