Jibbing in Fernie

Mark (my flatmate) came home the other day excited about the BMX track in town which had recently been covered in snow and was apparently really fun to jib around in. Insistently, he had me go with him to check it out. So we somewhat ambitiously packed our boards and headed down, arriving to find some locals had beaten us there. In an attempt to save our dignity and our backs we left our boards in the car and decided to watch for a while. I instantly i regretted not bringing my camera! So much so that i drove home to pick it up. Pretty glad i did.

London

What an amazing 5 days! Seeing my sister for the first time in a year and 8 months, meeting hilarious people, catching up with friends and experiencing a glimpse of what London had to offer. Just perfect.

Paris

Even after the 4 hour drive to Calgary airport, the 8.5 hour flight to london, the hour standing in line at customs, the hour on the London tube, and then the 2.5 hour train to Paris, I realised I still hadn't made any plans as to what I was going to do once I got there! So I waited for another hour for a friend to arrive and kicked on into the night.

Waking afresh, I was excited to see what I could of this historic town! However, it turns out I didn't really see that much at all, rather choosing to wander the streets, soaking up the atmosphere as well as an astounding amount of cigarette smoke.

Warriewood Hangout

Searching for any opportunity to use my new fisheye lens, I gathered some willing friends and got a little creative.

Allambie Waterfall

I have always wanted to take a photo of a waterfall! So, after hearing about one so close to home, I was super keen to get out there! All I needed was some cloudy weather, and considering it's still winter, I didn't think that would be too far away. I was wrong. 8 straight days of beautiful cloudless sunshine before finally getting my opportunity.

Dicky Beach, Caloundra

These shots were taken at dicky beach while on a weekend away to the Sunshine Coast. I remembered seeing this shipwreck years before and thought, "That would make a good photo!" So i wasn't gonna let the opportunity pass! I got up early, made a coffee, threw my bag on and pedalled on over.

Can't have a weekend away without a refreshing ale! 

Vivid Live Festival

I couldn't resist when asked out to the city to shoot Vivid Live. Such an impressive light show! Have a look if you get a chance!

Water Drops

The result of my first attempt at high speed flash photography.

Dee Why Point

I originally made my way to Dee Why to get a few quick snaps of the massive swell that rolled in that day, but i was too late. So i stuck around and took a few long exposure shots instead.

Palm Beach

Despite my best intentions, the grand plan to wake up and get to palm beach well before the sunrise was hindered by my love of sleep. Thus resulting in a swift exit from my house and a series of shady driving maneuvres in order to make it in time. Only to get there and discover the sunrise was completely blocked by trees! Still, the morning light was enough for me. 

North Curl Curl

After a long day wishing i was at the beach, beautiful afternoon light made it well worth the wait.
