emily and dave...

These two! Sydney really is a little less special without them in it... : (

At the moment, Em is covering the Olympics in Rio, while Dave is traipsing through the Americas in an RV... I'm a little green with adventure envy!

Here's a couple o portraits and a rad group o friends from their going away bash a while ago...

Love yas!

pyne-o! clean!

Shaun Pyne had a good honest crack at the top spot at this years pumping Shark Island Challenge. He was on fire through both rounds and the final, but lost out by the narrowest of margins in the end to Mitch Rawlins... Here's his wave o the day from the wash through filled day before the comp... Big ups!

a birthday and rassy b...

Happiest of 30th birthdays to one of the loveliest people i know! Wishing you and Rassy B the most amazing of days... Here's some pics the three of us shot on a cold winter's morning in Manly a few weeks ago... 

Love you to pieces! xxoo

on the horizon...

So after many attempts at repair, I finally had to accept, earlier this year, that my beloved Hasselblad Xpan is dead... Final autopsy revealed irreparable water damage... Sad times...

Rather than shell out for a new body, i decided to try a cheaper, Russian alternative (what seems to be becoming a more and more common solution for me) Presenting the Horizon 202!

He's a strange and wily beast, but takes some pretty rad panoramic images, given the right conditions!

cape solander...

A trip out to Cape Solander during the 2016 Shark Island Challenge waiting period brought back a flood of fond memories recently. Chasing and shooting waves out near Kurnell at Fear and De Niros back in the day... It's a crazy place to watch the ocean when there's a solid swell running... Big ups for a rad day in and out the ocean Jase!

Photographic reconnaissance missions scouting new locations are almost always awesome.

New scenery, new shapes and, in this case, fun filled tinny trips from Alf Stewart's Boatshed in Summer Bay... Ever exploring!

cockatoo island...

Back in February, I was treated to a birthday surprise day out care of my lovely lady... The early part of the day involved hats and hotdogs before we headed to the harbour for a camping expedition to Cockatoo Island! The island has a really interesting history as both a penal colony and a shipyard, which we ended up hearing loads about when we bumped into a former employee! The weather was amazing and we somehow managed to luck into the best spot on the island to set up our tent... 

It was pretty surreal to be woken up by the moon in the middle of the night...
