"It's perhaps at times a title too easily bestowed upon people, but Victorian photographer Barrie Sutherland truly is a living legend of the lens. His celebrated work literally spans the
last half a century of surfing, all starting when he first picked up a Kodak Box Brownie back in the late 1950s" Dave Swan,Editor Smorgasboarder Magazine, issue 13, Spring 2012
"He's one of the special photographers. I find them beautiful in composition, simplicity in their form,
very interesting in the interaction of light. He gives a timeless tranquility in his photos" Soren Carlbegg, Mal & the Longboarders Surf Band
"Barrie's shots from these trips are landmarks in Australian Surf Photography, not only for their views of that which is
visually extinct - empty lineups, dirt carparks and campfires - but also for the quiet simplicity of their composition" Jock Serong Author, "The Great Ocean Road", Surfing World Issue 28
"Stunning, evocative. A timeless tranquility. If eyes are the window to the
soul, then Barrie's images hold the key to the heart" Alison Aprhys, Local Photographer & Journalist |

"Life was much simpler in the 1960s, but it was also a time of great change. Saturday nights in Geelong were alive with surfers, rockers and the jazz folk all cruising up and down McCann Street
