I’ve just spent a great couple of days on the NSW North Coast with my brother and his two boys.
From Japan to Namibia
If you’ve known me for a while, you might remember that I took a trip to Japan in January 2015, to take part in one of Martin Bailey’s Hokkaido Winter Landscape tours. And I loved every minute of it. Firstly, for the opportunity to meet photographers I’ve known, or known of, for a long time […]
Quiksilver & Roxy Pro
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve made a few trips down the coast to Coolangatta’s Snapper Rocks, culminating in today’s finals day of the Quiksilver and Roxy Pro World Surf League contests. I was there for the men’s quarter finals, featuring defending champion Filipe Toledo, world champion Adriano de Souza, Kolohe Andino, Adrian Buchan, […]
TEDx SouthBank
I recently volunteered to photograph the TEDx SouthBank event, which was held yesterday at the State Library of Queensland.

Social Media Portrait Project – Part 2
The second phase of the Social Media Portrait Project has seen a wide range of people turning up at my house and leaving 20 or 30 minutes later. I’m sure my neighbours must be thinking I’ve started to deal drugs. Like the first two weeks, the last couple of weeks have included people I’ve known […]
Weekend Wanderlust – The Great Ocean Road
Those of you who have known me for a while may remember that, back in 2010, I drove from Brisbane, through Western New South Wales and South Australia, to Adelaide. After meeting my wife in Adelaide, we then drove across the southern coast to Melbourne, via the Great Ocean Road. I’ve been thinking about that […]
