email is good, but does anyone miss the post man and his free rubber bands ?

I have moved in.  somewhat.  my first day in was aNZac day.  so cookies, champagne is disposables, new toys for pooch, and candles helped me ring in the new era.  

a touch of surfing @ 'floors' - good localised break, sketchy take off, but lots of wall to play with.        but westcoast  shortboarders are so agro. 

although you may be awarding points for what seems like a magazine edit / final proof (xoxo), I am spreading beat out to measure for seating requirements.

fig. 1b = dining table and fridge.  


interest free is rad ...

somewhere to live is important, not as important as your space though

home sweet home. finally!
in what appears to be a beautifully unrelated sunset, it is a fire aided end to many a home (sweet home).  bush fire in the pine forest on the way home from Jindabyne.  i hope the animals are happy and safe wherever they are, they do not get txt message warnings you know?

the day after the 17th day of april


I am a big advocate for fruit for breakfast.  however, this movement does not work without coffee.  in which case, you spend the day starving.  
but fruit for breakfast after a surf is awesome.  and - i love my webber. !  


I am enchanted by the idea of being in the ocean,  adhering to your it's movements, reacting to its moods, and appreciating mother nature & her gifts.
capturing surfers prior to surfing is of considerable interest to me.  it represents complete distraction & a profound detachment from everything - good or bad; the world effectively stops (which is why christmas is so special). 
in my opinion, we all need as many of these days as possible. 



we named another break this weekend.  It's called CHODES = it's just between assholes and balls, both of which are titled appropriately.  Just lookers left of balls is Shafts (seconds), and lookers left of Shaft's is CHEFS.  Equal in etherical-ness? to Bells during the 50 year storm.

6 surfs in 6 days.  I love the easter swells on the West coast.

street lights during the day

they are forgotten, they get in cars ways, and they CAN be photogenic. 




below is a scribble via Me, please note, my hand writing gets better each year> 

reading (not words)


everyone knows someone

who avoids the truth

their time was a surpirse

their thoughts are too


a coffee scroll = doubt

the painting confirmed it

they avoid feelings

they didnt need too

YES


A new project for sideways fun.  

VERY BERRY

Berry is a place on the NSW coast, its very easy to drive thru whilst on route to elsewhere.  but this cliff was quit a sight.  excuse the self indulgent photo in the bottom left corner.  


Great views (the ocean) always make me smile

weekend work is sometimes weekend play.

depends on your job i guess.  some Deeluxe stuff I enjoyed working on.  


my 5/4/09



this collection of snaps accurately portrays my 5/4/2009.  everything i did revolved around one of these pictures, with the exception of after sun lotion application. 

i chose to share the first picture because it helps me believe the world is round.  and maybe, i am not the only skeptic out there.  
the two things being performed in the second picture are very important things.  but not often photographed.  1. watching the ocean before entering.  2. talking to other surfers.  
the earth in the third picture is a nice little pot, @ Little Paddocks (Franks Beach).  

Besides being impossibly sunburnt, What a Day. 
(i hope when you read my entries, it is my voice in your head reading it aloud)
(so thanks for listening)

my 4/4/09

is art what you see, or what you make someone else see? i think both.  my 4/4/09

dolphin says hi to guy fishing.  i often see dolphins, and it overpowers me.  they can never breach enough.  i love that they let us enjoy them every so often.  and i envy their beauty & calm.

right hand peeler.  Bendalong

it may sound dumb, but a headland gives me everything i need. when i see one, i feel freedom.  happiness.  and the exploration.      = they remind me how lucky i am to be here.  I understand why sharks get protective about the ocean.  humans seem to screw everything up. North Durras.
