30/366 first copy...

For just about anyone who knows me, you will know how much this means to me... In 2008 , the year i turned 30, I started a project to take a photo every day... Five years on and I finally have one of these 416 page tomes to show for it... It's just the beginning really as now the journey starts to try and find a publisher, but the feeling of stoke, pride and relief is still incredible... Thank you so much to everyone who has played a part and helped get it to a printed form... I'll try to regularly post some spreads in the coming days and weeks...
 416 pages covering 366 days...
 Fresh and clean foil cover...
 Thin baby blue stock for the intro and outro pages...
My brother penned some finely sculpted words for the intro. A perfect way to start the story...

current state...

Every true snowboarder NEEDS to own a copy of this book... From the layout and photo selection to its thought provoking content and production values, it bleeds the essence of the sport while opening a discourse for the direction of its future... Impressive and inspiring on so many levels... Hats off to you David Benedek...

national geographic...

More charity shop love and another absolute find!
Incredible photography and inspiring background stories...
Not to mention the rather epic Valentines Day inscription... 
Anyway, probably best to leave it to a few select images...
Classic cover...
 Jane, how could you?!

british countryside...

How incomplete my life would be without op shops... Giving new life to others unwanted goods and supporting a charity at the same time...
Ever since my visit to Copenhagen in the summer, I've been increasingly taken with the idea of learning more about natural surroundings and foraging for local produce to incorporate into my cooking (cheers Scotty!) and i think I may have found the book to help me do it... 
An amazing, enlightening, informative read, it's been rad to learn more about British countryside and hopefully I can put this new knowledge and skill set to use! Look out 'shrooms!
A book for all seasons...
 Britain's got mountains?!
 The hills are alive...
How low can you go...
 Fruits and berries!
 Birds for watching, not for eating...
 Finding your perfect cottage...
 No great whites here... thankfully...
Shroom time!
 Weed time?! Seaweed that is...
 ALL four seasons...
 Pretty things...
So arbourous...
