BULA!

A couple o weeks back, I had the amazing opportunity to work on still and motion content for Fiji Airways through some of my favourite people at FLIPP Management. There was a lot of Fijian pride abuzz all over the island as Fiji were hoping to win their first Olympic medal in the mens rugby sevens. Fast forward a week and it was GOLD for the small island nation! Huge congratulations to the team, and all our Fijian friends we met along the way!
Our trip was a full on few days of running around Nadi Airport but we were super happy with the results, given our small team, logistics and time constraints. The motion piece is below and the stills are up on the Fiji Airways Facebook page...
Fiji is beautiful in many ways, but the friendliness and hospitality of its people is what really sets it apart. Bula vinaka!

Big ups!

manly family...

I've been spending a bunch more time in Manly in the past six months... My niece moved there last year, I often meet a friend and colleague there for work and I play for a northern beaches football team... It can be a frustrating place to get to and from, but, if you can make it work for you, it seems like a pretty idyllic lifestyle!

What could be more Australian than spending an afternoon amongst the masses at Bondi Beach?!
A few friends, a couple o brews and splashing about it the Pacific as the sun goes down... This was how we spent our 'Stralya Day on the 26th of January earlier this year...

When you check the surf and can't decide whether to paddle out or not...
Then this wave comes through...
