I’m really not sure why but I always seem to work better at night, I wish I knew why because it’s starting to get annoying. I think the reason might be because it’s always a lot calmer at night and I don’t have people constantly pestering me for little pointless things. My plan = Become completely nocturnal.
Also, i’m growing a beard.

Okay, so i’m in a really talkative/ typing mood. Which Is strange… I think it might be because I have been watching videos on youtube, and seeing how relatively simple ideas can gain such massive audiences, the difference is with those videos is that they get so many views because they are either extremely well made, or a fresh new idea. In most cases both. So anyway, what I am planning to do is; work, buy a good camera with a good HD filming mode (Hopefully a Canon 7D) and a decent quality prime lens (Maybe about 24mm) and make some videos… Not going to give too much away but I do have several ideas and am very keen to try them out.
Anyway, it’s all about exposure and if I can make consistently good videos then there should be an audience.
It’s one thing talking about it, but what really matters is actually doing it.
I’ve been in contact with several people, Including James Davis, A sponsored Trials Biker. Toby Donachie, A professional surfer. Josh Coombes, A sponsored windsurfer. And Holly Donnelly, a Roxy Surf teamrider.
And of course Ben Bennett, the surfer who has featured in many of my shots, when he comes back from his four month trip in Indonesia.
I’m feeling confident, lets see how things work out.

If you’re in the Constantine area this Sunday then there is an opportunity to bury your old Christmas tree in the sand dunes on the beach in an effort to help stabilise them. As you may or may not know, sand dunes are delicate ecosystems and if they are interfered with too much then then can decline rapidly. Even just people walking on them and kill the marram grass which long roots help to hold the dunes together. So this is an excellent opportunity to help the local environment.
It is happening from 11am – 2am.

Thanks to my friends at Constantine Bay Surf Store I have just found out that one of my pictures has been featured on the website www.callingcountry.co.uk, it can be found here.
Here are a couple screen shots and the original image;
I took this image of Ben Bennett on a very cold day last year and I managed to get a double page spread in PitPilot Surfing Magazine with a shot from the same day. (Below)
I also got a small inset photo in the magazine which is of Ben trying to warm up his feet in the public toilets hand dryer, I thought it was quite a funny spectacle and decided it had to be documented.

I’ve found a couple more nice shots already, check them out.
