Breathtaking photographs and deeply personal stories from a leading surfing and nature photographer, conservation advocate, and social media force Wayward is a collection of striking photographs and the revealing personal stories behind them by one of the leading surf, nature, and adventure photographers of our time. At remote beaches and locales in places like Russia, Norway, Iceland, and the Aleutian Islands, Chris Burkard succumbed to hypothermia, destroyed thousands of dollars' worth of camera gear, and spent a few nights in jail.

Quit your job, pack your boards, jump into the car, and surf your way down the California coast. Sound like a daydream? "The California Surf Project" is the fully illustrated travel diary of two surfers who actually did this. Professional photographer Chris Burkard and surfer and artist Eric Soderquist roadtripped in their beat up Volkswagen bus from the Oregon border to the Tiajuana Sloughs on a two-month quest to rediscover everything the Golden State's legendary waves have to offer. Along the way, they documented their experiences in photographs and diary entries, which were originally posted at heavily trafficked Website Surfline.com and are now collected in this beautiful coffee table book. Relive in more than 200 photographs their incredible adventure of crashing monster waves, sharing campfires with total strangers, and keeping the bus running with duct tape and prayers - in short, living the dream. Candid, dry, but often humorous text documents the inevitable ups and downs of a memorable journey. A professionally produced twenty-minute DVD tucked inside the back case features footage taken on a Super-8 camera during the roadtrip, too.

A compelling presentation of outdoors magazines and catalogue covers taken from the archives and featuring seventy brands including Salomon and The North Face. For decades, outdoor brands have put daring and aspirational images on the covers of their magazines and catalogues, pushing the limits of photography and graphic design. This fascinating collection of outdoors covers, drawn from the Outdoor Recreation Archive at Utah State University and spanning one hundred years, features seventy iconic outfits including Columbia, The North Face and Snow Peak. Together, they make up a stunning visual sequence that traverses generations, sports, styles and continents, and holds something for creatives of all persuasions. The images, from grainy climbing photographs to homely illustrations of happy campers and cinematic landscapes, are organized artfully by medium – from nature (outdoors photography) to processed (treated photography), remixed (collage) to lines (illustration), object (product photography) to words (typography). Lead-in texts provide an overview of the scope and creative opportunities afforded by each medium, while interspersed throughout are a series of pieces written by guest contributors. Specially commissioned, these personal reflections – by more than twenty industry leaders, designers, creatives and sportspeople, including photographer Chris Burkard, designer Jeff Staple and climber Conrad Anker – home in on a particular image and explore what it means to them. Four 8-page inserts, meanwhile, printed on a different paper stock, reveal a selection of fascinating pages from inside the catalogues. A concluding ‘Making Of’ section gives a behind-the-scenes look inside the archive, while a visual index provides a fresh way of viewing the images and further inspiration for designers and other creatives. Carefully crafted, with an unfurling sequence of varied and impactful covers from across several decades, The Outdoor Archive is an enviable resource for graphic designers and creative studios, and a covetable item in its own right.
