The creative brainchild of wandering artist and pro surfer Warren Smith, Fix The Shadows documents a personal sabbatical on the quiet coastline of Maine. Collaborating with renowned photographer Nick LaVecchia, the pair converted a vacant garage into a make-shift darkroom and embarked on a three-month photographic experience, inviting fellow artists, surfers and photographers to join them in the process. Featuring work from Craig Anderson, Dustin Miller, Dion Agius, Brian Nevins and Cole Barash, the project sets out to capture the beauty and stillness of Fall in Maine, surfing cold waves, skating backyards barn ramps and anything that crossed paths in the process. Fix The Shadows opens its tour in Portland, Maine on December 21st with an Artists Reception and live auction of select prints, proceeds donated to Waves 4 Water.org. Additional tour stops to include Los Angeles and Australia. More on the Portland opening here. Sneak peak in the slides above.
