To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the “King’s Surf Shop,” Kingsport Times photographer Bill Lautner took a group of surfers on a trip out to the surf break at Kingsport on the Georgia coast in 1988. The resulting photos (which have since become his best-known works) are a testament to the raw power of the wave—but also the grit and determination of the surfers, who were as tough as they were resilient.
Lautner has since worked with several other photographers, including the aforementioned Kingsport Times, and has written several books about the Kingsport surf scene. I would highly recommend taking a trip out there and snapping some of the photos in person. Even if you don’t surf, it’s an incredible time machine to go back in time.
We’re not trying to judge our photos, but the only thing we can do is to check what’s left and see how much time we have left. I’ve seen a few really good shots taken in the last few days, and one of the things I noticed was that the people who called were obviously still at the beach, although not at full height.
One of the things that we are learning with Deathloop is that even though most of the main characters seem to be in their 20s, they have an interesting backstory. For example, Colt, the character played by Will Ferrell, was a surf pro, but he was also a self-proclaimed genius who built his own time machine.
A time-travel story is one of the most common plot lines in science fiction, and we’ve seen some really cool ones lately. For example, the story of time-travel, time-slip, time-jumping, etc. is probably the most famous one we’ve seen, but there are others. We are also learning that some of the main characters in Deathloop are from a time before Deathloop.
In fact, there are several other time-travel stories that come to mind, including “The Time Traveler”, “Time Travel Is Forever”, and “My Time is Now.” In each of these, the traveler is sent back in time to change his or her own life. In “My Time is Now,” the traveler is sent back to the time of the original hero, who was also sent back to the time of the original hero.
While the main character in Time Travel is a hero, the hero in My Time is Now is a villain. But in Deathloop, the hero is a villain, and the villain is actually the hero. Which is cool, because heh.
Well, I was sort of expecting the hero to be a villain, but the hero doesn’t have any powers or superpowers of any kind. It’s all just the powers of a villain, so the hero in My Time is Now is basically the villain. I’m assuming this is because the hero in Deathloop has the power to alter his own fate, but it’s still cool.
You can say that Deathloop is the hero in My Time is Now is the villain, but that would mean that the hero and the villain are both the hero and the villain, which seems like a huge contradiction to the premise of the game. We’re actually playing the hero and the villain in two completely different timelines. That’s a neat twist. Also, the hero in My Time is Now has the power to turn people into animals, which is a pretty cool power.
