I present these photographs as part of an index of a greater idea, of something I find myself drawn towards not as a photographer but as a person. They are a marker, an index for photographs yet to be realized. In this I find excitement. The threads are here but where do they lead? They are an introduction of sorts and a departure.” Photographs by Mustafah Abdulaziz

The Surfers of Tofino, Canada

TOFINO, Vancouver Island, is an elemental place. Carpeted with dense rain forests and inhabited by grizzlies, the island sits slap-bang in the path of the Pacific Ring of Fire – a series of oceanic trenches and volcanic belts that terrorize coastlines around the Pacific Rim. It’s here, amongst the fog and humidity – immortalized in John Carpenter’s 1980 horror The Fog – that the O’Neill Cold Water Classic stops for the fourth time on its cryogenic cruise.  We sent Brooklyn-based photojournalist Mustafah Abdulaziz on a gonzo assignment, as part of our year-long creative brief, to capture the gnarly comp from the inside out. - HUCK MAGAZINE #024 [download]

I came to New York with expectations. From the towering reputation at the International Center of Photography to the greater reputation of the metropolis that is Manhattan, the next 9 months in my head were hard to beat. But it was…. well and severely beaten and overtaken. This is my New York… from a new home, to the streets… the arms of new friends to the ICP.

From the beginnings of the fall to the onset of summer, shake me, skyscraper.
