Jeff Rowley Launches Limited Edition "The Moment" Collection of Surfing Photographs
Big Wave Surfer Jeff Rowley has collaborated with surf photographers around the world to launch his collection of Limited Edition surfing photographs.
Jeff Rowley has named the collection of his surfing photographs as ‘The Moment’, based on his most significant surfing moments shaping his life.
Rowley has hand selected each unique photograph taken in some of the most challenging environments, by the best surf photographers in the world including Tim Mckenna and Stuart Gibson.
The first two photographs in Rowley’s ‘The Moment’ collection include surfing Cloudbreak in Fiji during what was dubbed 'swell of the decade' in July 2011, and charging massive Teahupoo in Tahiti, one of the most dangerous and shallow reef breaks in the world.
On his photograph series, Rowley said “each photo represents a moment in time where everything in my life changed, where the impossible became possible – and everyone has a moment like that in their life”.
Even though these prints make eye catching wall art, Rowley believes “these photographs are about the moments that change your life and define who you are”.
“For me, the moment on these waves was like conquering Everest – I believe everyone has their own Everest they conquer in life”.
"Life is not about the number of breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away".
Rowley is is donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the prints to Australian Children's Charity, Cottage by the Sea, who each year provides short-term beachside holidays and respite care for more than 900 children and families in need.
“It means a lot to me to be raising money for Cottage by the Sea, they give children going through a hard time the holiday of their lives – memories they will remember for the rest of their lifetime”, Rowley said.
There are only 100 Limited Edition prints available for each unique photograph in the collection, selling for 0 (AUD) each for a high quality canvas print (approximately 75 cm x 100 cm), come with a story written by Jeff Rowley on his ‘moment’ and includes delivery anywhere in the world.
A small number of prints will also be auctioned during Cottage by the Sea fundraising events throughout the year.

Sky Is The Limit, Part II

May 4, 2010 | Day Sixty-Seven
I know, I know, a revisit already?!? But I really wanted to sort of do something really unique with this one, so here it is. I super-imposed the original onto a canvas, and then super-imposed that image onto another canvas, and one more for good measure, and this is the end product. It's drastically different from the original image - the lens flare is gone, the sky is darker (almost black in places) and overall the picture seems more edgy and dark - but I kinda like it.
If you haven't seen the original, check it out.
I might revisit this again in a few months when I get around to it, but until then, check out the view on black, HERE as well as the view on white HERE.

Weeks--The Hour of Prayer, with frame by Lockwood de Forest
Image by Universal Pops
I am always appreciative of views and comments; thank you for taking time to look.
This is a series of 11 images (oil on canvas). Edwin Lord Weeks (1849-1903), an Orientalist painter, was born in Massachusetts, the child of wealthy merchants. The placard at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond states he was a photographer, writer, explorer, collector and illustrator as well. He studied in France under Léon Bonnat. He made trips to Morocco, the Middle East and then India in 1882. Any number of videos featuring his works on India are on YouTube. The paintings depicted are always human with an eye to details. The painting “The Hour of Prayer at Moti Mushid (The Pearl Mosque), Agra” (ca 1888-1889) is large (perhaps 6’ x 3 1/2”) and is filled with amazing details of those gathered for prayer at the mosque. The detailed images show many aspects of this gathering: washing, reading, lounging. Any number of “things” are happening, yet no part detracts from another; all is well-integrated into a comprehensive whole. The architecture is integral to the work. The Moti Mushid, built 1654 in Agra, is an excellent example of Mughal architecture. His original works today can bring a price of more than a million dollars.
The original frame by Lockwood de Forest (1850-1932), another Orientalist, is made of wood with cast and carved ornament and is gilded. The framed painting is the final image in the series.
