The smell of gadang garam cigarettes and nasi goreng is yet to get old.

The bali belly ive had for the last 2 days has though.

Since seemingly coming good during the last few hours the illness has moved onto steppy who has  been asleep in a UN'S hotel room for 16 hours.

on a lighter note, and without mentioning the fact most of my money and credit cards were stolen, here are some happy pictures.

SHAKIRA IN COLOMBIA

So earlier this year i got the call up to fly to colombia and shoot a documentary!

One of the better jobs i have ever done for sure.

She is one of those annoyingly nice, remembers everbodys name, insanely beautiful and rich types of people.

You have to love her!

Flying on her private jet is one of those stories ill crap on about when im old.

Guess im already old.

BONDI downhill 2

North Bondi and D have a long and chequered past.

Its been 2 years since D broke his camera, collarbone and his pride trying to pull a stunt like this.

This is documentation that D, like the tru man he is, got back on that horse and dominated.

Good flare Dunc.

Go pro at its best!

Arty Sunday

I got arty last sunday and dragged steppy out onto the cliff at the back of our place to shoot 'The doorway to oblivion'.

I found the door in a bin outside of a renovation house on brighton blvd.

hammered some timber steaks in behind it to hold it up and lit it with a old vintage halogen light.

Tim Stock leant me his radical camera.

The windiest day in bondi ever.

so windy, that the following day the entire city of sydney was covered in red dust.

Thanks for being a good sport stephy.

i love ARTY SundaY.

BONDI In the MOrning!

Spring time in bondi.

summer is biting at its heels and the crew down on the beach at sunrise exercising there little hearts out indicate this!

cant wait to sit under the rainbow unbrella in between 9'2 log surfs.

Surfing in Bondi during the summer months is more like dodgem cars.

The skill of dodging italian, brazilian, english, scottish and scandanavian tourists on a board the size of a boat becomes a sport within a sport.
