Man watching my son grow up real quick brings home how little time we have and makes me reflect on the bitching i do bout crowds, waves and this and that. Reckon maybe i should just enjoy my family and the sand under my feet and be thankful that i got the luxury of the time to do the bitching i do and remember just whats really important.

2009-05-23T15:37:00.001-07:00

The images i have been getting on the i phone seem to have a particular aesthetic to them that is different to other camera phones, not like a Polaroid exactly but a nice almost analogue feel to them not usually there on digital capture.

Hey there just a note to say its been awhile between posts but what with doing a post grad in teaching (photography) and a new baby im pretty time poor at the mo and pulling my hair out with the paperwork so i will get back on track as soon as i have a spare 5 mins. Its been weeks since i got in the water and im pretty grouchy (ask my wife) so the sooner that gets remedied the better.Im still checking out you guys when i need a good read to restore some perspective (funny how that seems the first thing to go when your wrapped up in checking those boxes for the man) anyhoo back to the essays (balls!)

Share the stoke

2008-09-02T08:41:00.000-07:00

Had my 12 year old nephew staying with me from up country for the last few weeks, did some fishing and he had his first real taste of surfing. It was great to see him feeling it, pretty much standing from the first wave or two on one of my first boards. I think i got as much from it as he did. Takes you back to the time when you caught your first wave and that feeling like no other, so go on push someone into a few and share the stoke.

for granted

2008-08-24T09:28:00.000-07:00

North Shore Oahu

I think some times in our rush to get to the beach to surf we take for granted the landscape that we are lucky enough to visit or live in. Maybe as surfers we sometimes miss things in our race to score the next ride. I know that when i look back over past trips it jogs my memory, i have no trouble remembering the waves of the day but sometimes forget those little moments during the journey to get those waves. And i reckon that is not the destination or the finally getting to the beach that makes the trips, it is the time spent getting there the people you meet and the cultures you experience that make us want to get back on the road. So maybe we should pull over and take a look around us and savour the moments and give ourselves the memories that will last a life time.

On going photographic project. A Place by the Sea

2008-08-11T14:31:00.000-07:00

Some more images from a project i started during my degree. The images deal with the development of my local town by the beach. The black fence that surrounds the sites of a particular developer seems ominous and oppressive, and serves to divide the local community both metaphorically and physically. What with the recent credit crunch these sites will lay as scars on the landscape for the locals to live with. If anybody cares the images are made with a mamiya 7 medium format film camera using an 80mm standard lens. the film is kodak portra nc with has great scanning ability and renders nice neutral tones.

Went to see Iron Maiden a few weeks ago with my mate karl and they were amazing also got to see Scars on Broadways first uk show at the Camden Underworld on the same trip. It is the new band by 2 guys from system of a down. They are not as heavy with a more rock than metal feel their 1st album has just come out at it rocks give them a listen.

Had to go to uni the 2 days after we had the fruitless search, of course the sun and waves came out to play, no probs im off sat (today) so up early and check the beach.
Damn

search

2008-05-31T10:20:00.000-07:00

no waves in town so in the middle of the week me and my mate went on a little search, sometimes it dont matter how much you wish it theres just no waves. Even so it was good to get out and regain some appreciation of where we live, the landscape is beautiful and it was a day well spent despite the lack of swell.

Us locals are pretty mellow ya know!

a place by the sea

2008-05-17T12:01:00.000-07:00

The images above are part of an ongoing project to document the so called progress in my local town as nondescript apartments replace hotels and the place begins to die. They also serve as a metaphor for our destruction of other parts of the world and the increasing globalization of cultures around the world. The aim is to produce a book and an exhibition.

Breakfast in a barrel burrito at the Hale'iwa cafe followed by Aokis shave ice, sweet, life could get no better when you have got nowhere special to be, nothing special to do except hang out on the north shore. Damn this back to reality stuff is killing me so forgive me the indulgence but i keep going back there in my mind when the need arises.

Humpback whales Maui

This was a group of around 7 to 10 male Humpbacks in what is called a competition group. They come to the surface and charge each other as they fight for a female. It was one of the most amazing things i have seen. Myself and my new wife were out on a boat from Lahaina harbourfor around and hour and saw several breechings as well as this competition group click on the images for a larger view and check out out the marking on the tail. Sweet.

2008-04-07T12:49:00.000-07:00

Well we are back from Hawaii and back to real life. It is without doubt one of the most amazing places i have been to, the people on both Maui and Oahu were warm and welcoming. The culture is there to be found and it is rewarding to get out there in a car and find it. will post shots over the next little while. This shot is at ehukai a few steps down the beach from pipe, this little guy was charging.

Maui

2008-03-14T16:50:00.000-07:00

So we are here in Maui up in the hills above lahaina, ive been banished from the room as my wife to be is having her make over as we get married on the beach at Makena in a few hours. This is one of the most beautiful places i have seen, and i have seen a few. It still has that island feel out of town and up in the hills. Anyway hope to get some shots and some waves later this week. Better get back as there is a cold one with my name on it. Check out hooilohouse.com its an amazing place.

Everyone's a photographer!

2008-03-06T09:47:00.000-08:00

Just getting ready to get to Maui to get married anyone got any tips on the island that would be helpful.

2007-11-26T14:35:00.000-08:00

So i have already booked and paid for 3 weeks in Hawaii to get married (and um maybe surf) and the tight suits at ba have banned surfboards. Talked to bbc radio cornwall about it on their afternoon show last monday cause ba have said tough i cant get a refund so here begins the no doubt endless phones calls and emails. Whach this space.

new board

2007-11-26T14:25:00.001-08:00

My mate Andy is having a new 10.4 made. Its being shaped by Chris Jones here in newquay. Chris makes the most beautiful longboards in town with tints and glassed in finsand the like He is a stand up guy, always got time for a chat about boards. He has been shaping here i newquay since the start with bilbo so if your after a true custon shape from a true craftsmen the get yourself down to wesley yard and have a chat with the man. Ill post the finished board soon.

environmentally concious surfing

2007-10-01T11:32:00.000-07:00

We have all heard a lot about new materials for building boards, came across Hess surfboards who are producing surfboards that are state of the art as well as works of art and all with the minimum of impact on the environment.

2007-09-18T01:03:00.001-07:00

taking a walk on the beach i came across this computer washed up on the shore it was amongst quite a bit of similer household stuff. seems some people still dont understand the consequences of their actions. How can it be easier to dump this in the sea than to take it to the recycling centre. If you care about this kind of thing take a look here and here

2007-08-30T07:58:00.000-07:00

Just a quick thought that as the atlantic storms start to brew in the near future the sun may disappear but maybe they will bring what we all need.
