Overview
From Tunis to Teahupoāo, Stornoway to Salina Cruz, New York to Berlin, SĆ£o Paolo, and Parisāaward-winning photographer and filmmaker Patrick Trefz mixes the metropolitan and the deeply rural byĀ bringing food and culture from across the globe into his latest book of recipes and photographs, Ode to Travel. Famed throughout the surf world for his decades of magazine-cover-worthy images, Trefz has also become known in food circles for his work documenting the farm-to-table movement and championing traditions of regional cuisine. Ode to Travel captures TrefzāĀ innate ability as a traveler to become part of the scenes he finds himself inānot merely as an observer, but as a participant. Connecting landscape and seascape, people and food, Ode to Travel celebrates a world view of a globe deeply layered, howĀ cultures define communities from the ground (and the sea) up in the form of its food and traditions, and theĀ simple pleasures that bring color to living. Ode to Travel includes 35 recipes from the places TrefzĀ has come to know intimately; each recipe included is an invitation to experience the local communities through theirĀ flavors and traditions.Ā Includes contributions by monumental land artist Jim Denevan, three-star Michelin chef and Manresa restaurateur David Kinch, and Voyage of the Cormorant author and Surfboards California owner and craftsman Christian Beamish.
"A lot of people take pictures in this surf world, but few do so with the deft or depth of Trefz; his work captivates the visual senses, but also has a way of telling a much deeper story than what is visibly there. StuffĀ that stirs more emotion and provokes more thought and is realāfar from the fallacious, mass-produced, posed shit thatās often churned out in the surf world. He keeps true toĀ what inspires him intellectually and visually, and applies his vision and the many documentary mechanisms heās mastered, to create simulations of the way he sees the world."
