Cold Comfort: Surf Photography from Canada’s West Coast
Pete Devries, Tofino
Rocky Mountain Books is pleased to announce the release of Cold Comfort: Surf Photography from Canada’s West Coast by Marcus Paladino, now available in bookstores and online. Marcus Paladino’s unique and stunning portfolio contains some of the photography world’s most compelling surfing images. Surfing is why Marcus Paladino moved to Tofino. It’s an integral part of his lifestyle and contributes to his livelihood. Bumpy boat rides, long drives, getting skunked, scoring good waves, chattering teeth, numb feet, blacking out, drowning cameras, mental frustration, and chasing serotonin are all part of the game when surfing the cold waters off Canada’s West Coast.
Dedicated to capturing highperformance surfing at its best and finding split-second action and beauty in lost moments of time combine to help
