On a recent Saturday in November, I walked up to a newsstand at Times Square, purchased the local paper (haha), and was delighted to find a story I recently shot for them on the front page of their sports section! (I then proceeded to shoot said front page on the A train with my phone from all angles.)

When I was in Sambava to shoot the vanilla story, I started surfing and hanging out with the Surf of Clans gaong (boys), the local surf crew. Yoyo, Coco, Vario, Valérien, Paul, Lego, Nora and Olidano Colonel welcomed me with a particular mix of warmth, curiosity and heavy sarcasm that is unique to Malagasy people.
