Bruce Channon

Being your own boss(to a certain extent) has its advantages… Like having a mid week morning swim and spotting surfing legend and local hero, Bruce Channon enjoying a few empty basin ones.

Chopes

Surviving a fall (or jumping off) on a wave of the last ones stature is about as gnarley as surfing gets

Dope Threads

Couldn’t be bothered thinking so i copy and pasted the following (being lazy doesn’t mean i dont like or want to buy their shit): Vanishing Elephant is a Sydney based brand designed by Felix Chan, Huw Bennett and Arran Russell. In 2008 the trio decided to join forces with the singular vision of creating a line committed to producing clothing of real quality, purpose and originality.

DABSMYLA!

The size of their murals!

A lot of the time when we explain to people what we do and how we work they say…
“Man..you work together, and you are a couple! I’d end up killing my girlfriend/boyfriend if we collaborated on everything we did!”
I guess we are pretty lucky…two peas in a pod!
Two crazy, work-a-holic, mad dorks in a pod!
After years of living, painting walls and working together we have only become closer, stronger and even more in sync. Every day we wake up, paint all day..and keep each other entertained with constant chatter and stupid jokes.

Who could ask for more out of life!!

We are both originally from Melbourne Australia, and have been living and working in LA for the past 2 years, soaking up the sun and chaos that surrounds us.

The series continues.

John Holland End Of Year Celebration.

Events help pay the bills. This one i did on behalf of The Popcorn Group for John Holland’s (1000 guest) end of year celebration last year in December.

One Hit Wonder Artist Management

I must have said it before but this blog business is time consuming and so there for this isn’t exactly current affairs. You’ll find with the next few posts that im trying to catch up with what i’ve shot over the last few months. Heres a few from a shoot i did last november with the One Hit Wonder crew, Matt Nukewood, Raye Antonelli, John Glover, Ember, Brendan Fing(ping pong dj’s).

Rockaway Taco. [the selby.com]

I recently got clued in on this dope online bookstore called bookdepository.co.uk and bought a whole bunch of coffee table books. Now if your and Amazon fan, how these two words will change your ways: FREE SHIPPING. One of the books was, The Selby Is In Your Place and which led me to his site and which led me to the movie he’s just made.  You’ll have to check it out on his site theselby.com coz i cant get the damn thing to embed on the homepage. If i wasn’t trying to get into the picture taking world this is what i’d be doing. Maybe not sleep on the roof though and probably with a booger instead of the shred stick.

Pardon The Ad.. [click through to see video]

While perusing coastalwatches site I came across this. Check this 52 camera setup to get the tracking around Matt Wilkinson. Click the heading to see the footage.

Summertime.

With summer come’s South swells and North winds, that can mean only one thing… Many a boat trip to.. well.. i could tell you, give it away and make one of my favourite spots on the east coast more crowded. We dont always get pits but we do have good times! For instance: This trip on the way out doing 25 maybe 30knots, we hit a wave and got airborne, Steados (the driver) got tossed out of his seat into the middle of the boat and kept driving from there. You’d think he would get back in his seat and slow the thing down considering we just buried the side of the boat in the water on landing, but… He just laughed it off and kept going full speed.

Kyla Crozier

Friend and up and coming designer from Sydney, Kyla Crozier asked me to shoot her latest range’s lookbook a couple of weeks back. Here are a few out-takes. Model Tara, Styling by Leda Ross, Hair and Make-up by Katie Goerlach.

Frames.

A friend of mine asked me to shoot a bit of his wedding and together we came up with this idea. Picture of a picture (frame). Seems to be working quite well, this is from Eveready’s 110th birthday. Check the reflection on the guy in the middle’s glasses, creepy cool.
