Pat Schmidt on Instagram: "The connection I got to form with Andrew since moving to the east end is unexplainable. We always felt in sync. I felt like if he was on the beach I could surf a certain way that worked well with the way he wanted to capture images of surfing. I could see where he was moving on the rocks, know right away the shot he was trying to get and adjust my position accordingly. I’ve never had that before. I’ve never even wanted that before, but with Andrew it was different. I’m such a fan of his work that I wanted to do whatever I could to be a part of it. We had 5 days in a row earlier this summer that we passed each other on nappegue meadow in the same exact spot, both with middle fingers held high followed by a phone call cracking up about it that would end up lasting hours. I will miss those times but am so grateful to experience them. Love you Andrew, thanks for taking me under your wing. @blauschild"

There is something about film, it is sharp but it is soft. It has a life in it
