Episode dedicated to the memory, family and friends of Peter Cole and Johnny Fain.
RIP
As I prepared for the TP interview, I learned some interesting facts about Tommy. One thing in particular caught me by surprise. The man that I had been following for the last few years on Instagram to satisfy my need of consuming beautiful longboarding imagery, was somewhat a newcomer to the art of surfing photography. Based on the incredible and mesmerizing pictures, I would have guessed he had been in the profession for a few decades and perhaps graduated from some fancy photography academy. TP's story is a great example for anyone that has an interest and curiosity of learning something new but might feel intimidated or insecure to follow through. If you set your mind and heart, you will make it happen! That is how Tommy rolls.
The following is a synopsis on TP from his About section on his website www.pineapplesunrise.com
"Originally from the Chicago area, Tommy Pierucki has been a Hawaii resident since 2013. Ever since first getting on a surfboard at Baby Queens in Waikiki in the early 2000s, he’s been determined to spend the rest of his days giving back to, enjoying, and capturing the beauty of the islands and it’s amazing people. This love drew him to work with AccesSurf, a charitable organization that helps connect those with physical and/or cognitive disabilities to the ocean.
Tommy’s interest in photography first truly took hold January 2018, and since then he had been featured on the the cover of Pacific Longboarder Magazine‘s 100th issue and published in Freesurf Magazine, premiered a film in the 2019 Honolulu Museum of Art Surf Film Festival as a #RisingTide filmmaker, has been a featured artist at the Green Room and currently at Koko Marina, was requested to photograph celebrities like Tom Holland (Spider-man), Halsey, and Lily Chee as they surfed, is a Toes on the Nose ambassador, and has had his photography featured by brands like Roxy, RVCA, Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaii Magazine, Honolulu Magazine, Japan Airlines, Billabong, Carver Skateboards, Hilton Hawaiian Village, Royal Hawaiian Hotel, Aqua Aston, The Surfjack Hotel, Outrigger Waikiki, Coconut Waikiki, Shoreline Hotel Waikiki, Pearl Hotel Waikiki, DoubleTree Alana, AxisGo, Aquatech Imaging Solutions, Immersion Surf Magazine, Tori Richard, Hawaii Theatre, and Prana."
