Clear As Day

Nights here in Melbourne have been incredibly clear, here is a shot of a pretty perfect crescent moon.

The Paddock

Sorry the blogs been quiet for the past week, been pretty hectic as I'm now living in Melbourne, Australia. Since Thursday 3rd its been a crazy mess of goodbye parties, drinking, traveling, drinking, catching up with people here in Melbs, getting settled in and more drinking.
However amidst the madness I managed to get these photos at a paddock where two of my cousins out here keep their horses. Beautiful scenery, dramatic Melbourne sky. Love it.

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?

Here is another photo from last Saturdays shoot.
Don't forget to have your fire wood ready like the gorgeous Jess here, its that time of year again where its cold outside and a cosy fire is the number one plan.

Spiral staircase going down

Here is another photo from the shoot on Saturday. This one features Katie Crouch looking rather seductive on a spiral staircase wearing not much more than an umbrella.

Let me stand next your fire

So I was asked by my friend Emma if I could help her out and take some photographs of her and some of her friends who are doing an art course at the University of East Anglia, to be made into a calender they want to sell to raise money to go towards their end of year show. Naturally I said yes.

We went out to an amazing old house in the beautiful Suffolk countryside yesterday, totally in the sticks, to shoot for the day. The day was fueled by coffee, pizza & slo gin, it was a really fun day thanks to all the girls.

I'll let you know when/where the calender is available once it is made, which shouldnt be long at all, it will also be dead affordable.
The photos will gradually appear one by one on here to.

Here is the first photo which features Emma Daniels sat by the fire knitting herself some clothes to wear as she somehow completely forgot her out fit, woops....... enjoy.

Adam Howe: seeing is believing

Here is Adam Howe, fs smith to fs 360 out sequence and a couple of portraits which we shot last week.

I've known Ad for years and been capturing him skating since the day we met, he has literally never stopped progressing on his skateboard. No matter what changes for him in his life or in the skateboarding world, he has always remained the same person. Always a pleasure to be out with, forever pushing himself forward and a lot of fun to be around.
Dont ever play s.k.a.t.e with him and expect to win. You will get shut down! Seeing him is believing. He is someone who I consider one of my closest friends and also one of my favorite skateboarders. I hope you enjoy Adams skating as much as I do.

And Now...

Here is a shot I took of Si Gray, the mind & driving force behind new band in the making "And Now..."
The band were fortunate enough to have a song titled "John Dillinger" featured on the skateboard dvd which came free with this months Sidewalk Skate Mag, "The Big Push 09" on the Team Shiner edit.
you can watch the edit and vote for Shiner at http://bigpush.mpora.com/
please vote for Shiner, the boys need your support.

anyway,
Si is currently working on new material for "And Now..." and searching for a bassist, expect them to be gigging early in the new year. I've previewed the songs Si has written, recorded & deemed 90% of the songs "not up to scratch" and its all brilliant stuff, I cant wait to hear what he's working on now.
Si is an amazing musician, an undeniable talent at its rawest. Definitely one to watch and not to be taken for granted.

Look out for "And Now..."
