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.

this was a present for my boss, both of us work and wig together.

from the above shoot, testing powah

poot poot, more later, hopefully tonight but probably not..  I was woken to a pack of angry cows that seemed content on the destruction of my brand new tent.

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. 

9mins well spent

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

i know that posting a single track is contradictory so here is the entire album but you should buy it from here

this is what i'm working on right now
