Yo. Yesterday my friend died. Doing exactly what he wanted, exactly how he wanted to. We meet in 2000, downtown. One of those people that see you, just get you immediately. He always looked out for me. We spent summers in Southampton. I took these one afternoon on film. We smoked, surfed, laughed. We were figuring it out. What we wanted, where we were going. Drew was building his visions of his life. And he did it, he documented the shift in surfer culture on the east coast. Drew followed his heart, always. This grief I feel is a reflection of our friendship and our love, big.
