Blue Duck Station
I thought I was going to go crazy when we first arrived at the most landlocked location on the north island of New Zealand – Blue Duck Station. 10 days away from the ocean!? Sounds great! I don’t think I

bushin’ it with cockatoo paul
Cockatoo Paul is your ultimate Australian bushman. He’s a one man band that can do anything and everything. You wouldn’t be able to walk 1 meter with him through the “weeds” in your backyard, before he would be stopped dead

Two Days of Gold Coast
Never thought I would be back up to the Gold Coast so soon, but with some time off, I jumped up there and re-connected with some friends. Aside from the sea tics and sketchy swim back at dusk, we absolutely

I’ve always heard great things about the Arts Factory Lodge in Byron Bay. It’s such a unique and quirky place with quite the assortment of eclectic and talented people. Here’s a teaser I worked on for Alison’s Adventures. Edited by

A morning out with Johnny Abegg & Alex Frings
This morning session with Johnny Abegg and Alex Frings included the company of a shark and pod of dolphins. This session nearly tops my list of most favourite sessions ever.

I was blessed to be a part of Peter & Meg’s “leap year” wedding at the Four Seasons Hualalai. I love simple weddings and it was SUCH a joy to spend time with them and their family!

matt + ashley
Ashley & Matt literally ‘showed me the town’ as we went around SD for their save-the-date photosession. Engagement sessions are always fun, but this one was especially because it felt more like an “adventure” rather than a typical 1-location 1-hour

Waipio Valley
An early morning adventure down to Waipio Valley. Wave size, glassy conditions and swell direction were a sweet, pre-sunrise surprise, but absolutely impractical to shoot in the water with the ripping currents and overhead, picture-perfect barrels breaking over 5ft of

Pine Trees
I failed at capturing any decent surf action shots this day but it sure was nice to jump back in the warm Kona waters and get pushed around by relatively large sets.

random bits of november: goodbye australia
It’s funny how when the summer turns on, it really turns ON. The remainder of November consisted of meagre surf stifled by onshore winds, crowded beaches, 4:30AM sunrises, dealing with my wallet getting stolen then returned, spontaneous outings, and packing

Byron Bay, again! I told myself after the first time that I wasn’t going to get obsessed with this place … but I just keep getting pulled back. This time, for sunset ripples at The Pass.

Two gloomy days in a row at Straddie. Crowds crowds crowds but it’s still always worth it. Primary surf housing is out for repairs so I’ve been using the Ewa-Marine U-BXP housing and Aquatech housing this past month. Guys freak

Spontaneous surf sessh at Narrowneck with Pidgey. Conditions were sub-par but without fail, he found a couple of barrels … and some decent rides on a literally unsurfable afternoon.
