fury



My mind is too tired to rant,  I went last night for a camp.  It was great, I don't have the photos now, for those you'll have to wait.  These are a few random shots from mostly the last few days but the others are not...  I've been too busy creating non-bloggable things and working to blog about photos and other things that aren't related to working.

aggressively intrigued



Skateboarding has effectively become the activity I enjoy in life the most, enjoyment in this sense referring to getting frazzled by voluntary involvement in danger and in return receiving the reward of stoke, the greatest reward there is.   It's not just the stoke, or the adrenaline, it's everything about it.  I work with longboards, in retail and in photos.  My friends all skate, long, short and wig boards alike.. often in the same session and it's ideal... We're all here to sample the flavours available so any ideas of craft exclusivity were thrown out the window when we were thrown outta the womb.  Above all of this the crew I've met have all been fantastic people!!  With longboarding I've been pretty darn lucky.... Through involvement with Heelside mag (5 of my shots were ran in the Dec issue, 3 in the yearly calendar and I shot an entire feature:  not trying to give myself a digital blowjob but i'm frothing still....furiously) and I'm stoked, I received my copy a few days and the fire is still partying in my belly.  I got very lucky, once again, through a video that I made with my good pal and all-time shredsman Chad, in that both He and I were picked up by Early to shoot/video/skate into the future.  The sport is new but so am I and Ideally I'll be lucky enough to grow as a photog/skater/fellow alongside the crew that are pushing this sport in the right direction as all of the ones I have met so far have been glory men!!!








Some of the Early team.

my friends and I have started construction on our own indoor skatepark, we've got more (free) wood than we can handle a 50m2 fridge to fill with glory hahaha, what is real.  Luckily between us we've an engineer, a tradesmen and a whole lot of stoke and keenness.

replace the word space with drink and forget it



Long term pal turn short term enemy of mine, the rain, has been qualming me into oblivion.  The enveloping nature of my skateboarding habit has begun to have unforeseen control over my levels of qualm but I've managed to sweep that out from my stoke-starved peripherals thanks to the acquisition of the family home for a period of time which will most likely lead to more home-time and therefore more creation.  Nevertheless, times will be ideal so long as the rain sends itself away in order to bring myself back.  I'm still getting abused by this Nicolas Jaar album, it's insanely good, I've listened to nothing else since monday morning.  I've shown it to a few people but have decided that is silly as it's music to be consumed wholly, appreciated for it's entirety and enjoyed for it's complete duration.


apart from the film shot and the mirror wig these are all very olddd, older then march 2010, pre BCH

listen to the song



I've had this album on repeat for the last 24 hours without tiring from its gracious beats and tantalisingly tasty everything elses.  My tiredness and the time have combined their forces in order to disallow ranting at this stage, when ready you will be notified on this blog, by a post probably

wholesale dubspress




I've been grounded tonight, not because of a parentally enforced embargo between me and the front door, but because I feel the need, the need to get things done.  Misc things, anything, who knows really?!  I don't..  It seems I've done nothing, except my room is clean which was not really worth it from where I sit now. 

I've long enjoyed dubspress, for many reason, obviously flavour being the greatest reason and price being the leastest reason but today my dreams came true upon gaining a wholesale supplier of it, oh yes, wholesale.  I also acquired my dream board after a few months of being patient and thankfully my patience paid off.  Although no amount of patience could dull the frustation that came after walking out the door and taking maybe 2 steps before it started raining, I tried to outrun it, enough for a single run but got teared!  I went to a carpark, it sucked.  But it's fine, I'll find a way to glory myself.

In opposition to the act of not doing things, my friend and I ventured out of Brisbane in search of nice locations and skatehills..  We found neither really but had a fun time anyway.
