Ailie Z Killer

Ailie is a good friend of mine and also a fellow photographer hailing from Edinburgh, Scotland.
I took this photo of Ailie on her own camera whilst in London back in September at my best friend Nicks place where we were drinking and crashing after the UK premiere of the newest Flip skateboards video "Extremely Sorry". She only just got the film developed, and here it is.
Ailie is an awesome photogrpher. When she gets behind the camera very rad things happen, I'm a fan for sure.

To see her fantastic work go to either:-

Black Saturday

Almost a year since the tragic King Lake fires, better known as Black Saturday.
I've been up to where the fires were a couple of times now and still cant get over the damage caused.
I remember watching the news coverage back in England when it was all going on and being shocked how bad it looked, but witnessing first hand the sheer amount of devastation caused is unbelievable. Literally as far as you can see there is nothing but blackened skeletal looking trees. The fires destroyed 100% of the forest and nearly all life within it. Most tragically many people who couldn't leave their homes in time lost their lives to. Those who up and left in time lost their homes and everything in them.
Locals have all said how everybody from all over Australia really pulled together and helped where they could, and how the generosity of everyone was just incredible, people donating everything from their time and services, food & money to mobile homes for the victims to just have. Some people still have not got their normal home life back yet, and the land is far from recovered, but it is slowly on the mend.

These are the photos I shot on my visits there.

Just Say Nay!

More from the paddock, another visit.
This time met a horse that can only be described as ridiculous, never seen an animal with such character in my life. I also ventured around the old sheds a bit and found some parts that have remained untouched for who knows how many years.

The sunsets in Barwon Heads

I took this just down the street from where I stayed in Barwon Heads on the way home one evening. Its such a quiet and remote place, all you got there is beach, bars, supermarket and skate park. All you need.

Goodbye to the noughties

See the noughties out and the new year in by celebrating with your nearest and dearest over a few to many drinks. Grab that bottle and make NYE 09 a night to remember that we all forget.

Here's to 2010, cheers to you all

Do you want to go to the seaside?

These pictures are from my few days at the beach. I took all these at Point Lonsdale. The pier is incredible, so old and beaten by the coastal weather and many years of use, it oozes character as does the light house. A beautiful & tranquil place, nothing but the sound of the water to be heard. Perfect.

Happy Holidays

So it's Christmas eve & preparations for tomorrow are well under way here.
Here is the December shot from the calender I took photos for. Call it classic or cheesy, however you want to look at it, captured the Christmas day vibe here.
Wishing you all a very merry one.
Also a huge thank you to all who visit this blog, you're golden.
Now go eat drink and be merry!

Welcome to the night sky

Went out for a drive last night and got these two shots of the Melbourne cityscape in the night sky.
