It’s been a wierd week, I lost a mate from down south, a inspiring man with far too few years under his belt. It’s put my own mortality into perpective and made me realise we are truly blessed to be here. More now than ever I’m going to commit to making the most of the days I have, living through experience and taking some photos along the way, to hopefully, one day, inpire others to do the same.

I know Jonno would approve.

Thanks for the inspiration fella, we will miss ya. RIP.

My air miles are going through the roof and jet lag is kicking my ass.

Whilst moving about I’m working on a few personal projects in the Southern Island states, here is an insight from the first batch back from the lab…

Aotearoa – north and south, Tasmania & Bruny Island.

Yep, it was the coldest water I’ve ever experianced and It felt like I had a heart attack.

Don’t regret it one bit though.

As nervous as I was (shooting another photographers wedding…eek) I couldn’t pass on the brief… “bring along your 6×6, a load of film and shoot the shit outa it”

So thats exactly what I did, and It was great.

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labour and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both.

last week I took a little trip up to the Outer Hebrides, a little scouting mission for a project I’ve got coming up. So I grabbed two friends, a chef and a musician, packed Renee (the van) up with a bunch of waveriding equipment, wellies, fishing poles and a ukulele and headed north in the slow lane…this is a gallery of how it all went down…

…just epic, I’m going back

p.s chefs and musicians are just the best travel companions…

so she’s slow and kinda ugly, but she packs a punch and friday she’ll be loaded with boards, fishing rods, friends and cameras and off on an expedition to the scottish isles.

…and yes, that is a little log burner in there.

…a fun week of sunshine, babies, nice houses and lovely people.
