Below Deck

“When the guide spots the whales you are dropped in their path no less than three hundred feet away. They will often swim with in ten feet of you if they do not feel threatened.”

 
I’ve known Brad Roaman since we were kids in high school, growing up in New York City. He has always been an avid sailor, sharing his love of the water on his boat with his friends, myself included, from above the surface. When he recently showed me these images of whales he had photographed below the surface, I was mesmerized. Brad is a fashion photographer, and I was familiar with that body of work, but for me this was a whole different level in a whole new environment.

Brad began shooting what he calls “Waterscapes” about a year ago. It began with him photographing his son and friends jumping off the boat from the water. He was shooting on his phone, trying to stay afloat with one hand, and taking pictures with the other. His perspective was just below the surface, water filling different parts of the frame from below. “The beauty of the water”, he told me, “is you never know what you’re going to get, how the water is going to frame the foreground and people in the background”.

A Rooftop Ocean Skatepark

 

 

Perched between the mountains and the sea on the coast of China is the city of Qingdao, the location of a new skatepark with a design like no other. As the flow of skateboarding mirrors the essence of surfing, the skatepark recreates an ocean on the rooftop of Qingdao MixC mall. The layout incorporates flowing curves of ocean waves, highlighting the connection between the two sports.

Qingdao’s breathtaking coastal scenery is considered a natural treasure, yet it is also a commercial city. Qingdao Mixc Phase I and II Connection Area Skatepark Renovation Project, designed by Within Beyond Studio, allows the two to coexist in harmony. This dual activation, both in terms of spatial design and movement, infuses the entire terrace. Read More
