byron again

It got pretty busy around here (Noosa) with the festival on in March. And with being on the road in New Zealand for the last month, I haven't had a good opportunity to update much on here.

In the last post I was about to leave for byron, so here are some photos from that trip. It didn't end up being exactly like I thought it would be, but it was still really fun. I met plenty of new people who were on their way up to Noosa, where I got to hang out with them a bit more.

The next post will have some photos from the festival week.

Until then, I hope you enjoy these ones.

byron

We're headed back down to byron bay tomorrow for a few days.

One last little road trip in australia before coming back to noosa for the longboard festival, then to NZ for a month.

I got way behind and pretty much haven't posted any recent photos on here. I'll either mostly wait, and post a lot of them at the end, or just pick up with things that are happening in the present, and go back to everything else later... we'll see.

Until then, here are a few photos from our last trip to byron in december. I'm pretty sure that this trip coming up should be pretty amazing.

Finally Pennsylvania

I finally got my scanner cord, and scanned in all of the photos that I wasn't able to before. Here is a small sample of photos from our trip to Pennsylvania way back in August. Road tripping, family time, camping, home town visiting, stray animal saving...

bodysurf iv

It's been a little while...

I'll have more of my photos to post soon-ish, but for now, here is a link to the newly published issue 4 of Ryan Heywood's bodysurf project. http://bodysurf.com.au/

I'm honored to have a couple photos of mine in there, as well as a couple photos of me shot by my friend Travis Wheeland.

There are so many great photos. One of my favorites is a black and white over/under barrel shot that Garrett Allard captured in California.

I recently tried a hand plane for the first time and am looking forward to trying and shooting that a bit more once the waves get a little better.

prints

prints are now available for sale on my site, in a variety of sizes.

they've been available this whole time, i guess...now it's just simpler to buy them.


on a side note, i'm about to head to byron to surf and shoot for the next week. i'll have some photos to post from that trip.

plus, i should have the new scanner charger by the time I get back, so i'll have a lot of other shots to post too.

scan -- negative.

well,
i got my film back yesterday, and i'm really happy with the results as a whole. there are some light leaks in a few of the medium format photos...i need to make sure that stops happening. other than that, i'm happy with them all. the 35mm slides look especially nice.

i went to start to scan them, though, and the converter wasn't the right one for the scanner power cord, so it blew up... and now i have prints and slides, but no good way to get them onto the computer. so, for now, here is a picture of just a few slides that i put up onto my computer screen and took a photo of tonight...

hopefully it won't take me too long to find a way to fix the scanner problem. the quality will be much be much better than this...

heaps of trust in the australian postal service.

my film should be at the lab in melbourne by now, and hopefully i'll have it back by the end of the week. expect more frequent updates once i have it... i'll have some catching up to do.

there's potential images on those rolls of film from between august and now. I haven't really wanted to post much of what i have so far on here because it seems incomplete to just have the digital ones. it'll be fun to go through everything.

it's just been hard to find a place to develop slides, so i finally just gave up looking and mailed it.

i did find somewhere to process regular negative film, though, so i experimented with one of the slide rolls and developed it there. here's one shot from that roll.

i'm pretty happy with how they turned out. i certainly won't always cross process, but in certain situations it looks nice. this one is in sydney, on the boat ride from the northern beaches over to the city. that's analisa on the left, checking out the skyline, opera house, and harbor bridge.
