Just another blog

My housemate has been working on her blog lately and its looking really good. She has lived in about 40 different countries in her life and this has helped shape her open minded view on the world. This gives her the ability to capture images in ways that transcend the cultural boundaries and social norms.

Well worth the look:

Birthday Post

Today is my birthday, so why would i be posting on my blog?

It is because I just got my book back from the binding company and am really happy with how it turned out so i thought i would post my favorite image at the moment. It changes everyday though.

Maximum

This post is dedicated to a big inspiration and good friend of mine. We met at university which he has just graduated. Keep an eye out for his work it wont be long before magazines are fighting over him. His work is as amazing as his stoke for life. The guy shreds in the water as well! Below are a few of his images that i stole from his blog (check it out here: http://maximilianphoto.tumblr.com/ ). The first image i took of him one a glorious day surfing a cyclone swell at. Mooloolaba. He also has a music project going on as well http://www.myspace.com/pistolsofdawnband. Too much talent for one kid.

Spring Hill Baths

A few years ago i saw a film clip by a popular Australian band named Eskimo Joe. I found the location to be very interesting and after a little research found that it was filmed in my home town of Brisbane. Situated in Spring Hill (inner city suburb) i found out that the baths are the oldest public baths in Brisbane. A few months later i was contacted by a friend who happened to be writing a story about the history of the baths and i jumped at the opportunity to take some images for his story. The place is very interesting because not only is it a public swimming pool but on the first wednesday of the month they hold an open mic night for local musicians to perform. The popularity of this event has been growing at a rapid rate ever since. Below are two images which went to print and i recommend going in for a swim in the hot months ahead.

Here is a link to the film clip too if your interested.
