"50 miles of weathered old bays, haunting the imagination with secrets to decode, solely through time invested." Renowned surf photographer, Mickey Smith endures through the cold, the fear, the anxiety to catch subtle glimpses of magic. If there is a way to create poetry through images, this has got to be it.

Mickey says he moves towards the places and experiences that make his "heart beat the hardest". Do one thing that scares you each day this week. What do you see that you haven't seen before?

Walk out of your door today with a resolution to keep an eye out for the "subtle glimses of magic other folk might pass by". Whenever you see it, take a moment to feel gratitude and appreciation.
