Pablo Cortes holding his fresh Pearson Arrow surfboard in Mill Valley, California in 1987. Pablo was an exchange student from Valencia, Spain. He lived in Mill Valley for a year and went to Tamalpais High School his sophomore year. Sadly, Pablo was killed in a car accident at the age of 22.

I shot this photo in 1997 at the print studio at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Zarina was an amazing artist, as well as a teacher. Sometimes those two don’t translate. I always felt she liked me as a person, respected my art, but didn’t really like it :)
I am so glad to have been able to take classes from her.
