Beefy

Earlier in the year I went surfing with a young Ian Botham. 

Riding land

So we ride. 

The last three weeks have been tough living. Get up, surf, lunch and chess with the Fells, surf with the boss (our host AL) and then dinner with the family. 

My only complaints are the growing sea ulser on my chest and surburnt lips on my face...small prices to pay for a life like this. 

Things are brewing though, and all this downtime has given me time to think up some new ideas. It's got me excited. 

Time to make some plans. 

Surf first though.

Bondi Bowl

Leaky leaky...

Suffolk Park

I've been pretty quiet on here of late, and this is why. 

I start my days with this just down from our house in Suffolk Park, then we coffee and breakfast, then we surf...

thats about it for last few weeks...

relax

Cold trains

Another train in the freezing country (russia) seems such a long time ago now. Right now though it's warm, the waves are fun and pizza is on the way!

Shooting

Playtime

Work done, now it's playtime! 

We had a pretty manic week getting the shoot done in last week, what with the bag of clothes getting stuck in customs and the rain upsetting play. Still I think it was a success and we've heard good feedback from the people at the top, so all good me thinks. Kinda happy about that.

Pretty much as soon as the last shot was taken we uprooted and caught a cheeky flight up the coast, so now Anna and I are staying with some old friends in Byron Bay and the sun is baking down, the waves are clean and the water is warm. A recipie for sun baked skin and crispy smiles. Tomorrow we're off to Noosa Heads, longboards in the sunshine...mmmmmm. 

Above is Zoe, stylist, producer, model and my wonderful sister. Thanks for everything zo! 

Sitting Atop The Flowers

Underground

Ok so apologies first, I know I've been a littl on the quiet side this past couple of weeks or so. No excuses other than, just enjoying the sunshine! So residing right now in Zoe's lovely flat overlooking bondi beach, and I've been catching up on saltwater and sunshine and trying to recover some of the fitness lost whilst spending 3 weeks sat on a train.

Today I recived all my films back from the lab, it's allways a little nervracking/exciting to see whats come out, and what didn't (especially as most films we're used in a penknife fixed camera)

Some shots came out well, and others...well, not so well.

Tomorrow the clothes arrive from wales, so we can begin our little shoot for howies. Got to keep the ball rolling.

Above are two pics back from the lab today...I love shooting on the subways! (top london, bottom moscow)
