I had the chance to visit one of the crazier places I’ve been and somewhere I’ve been looking forward to going for a while. The 798 is an art district in Beijing with crazy sculptures everywhere including this three story tall stack of t-rex.

The newest edition of the CHILL mag has just come out and including some rather small shots I am sitting at a count of 31 images so I’ve added a selection of a few of the bike images from the last year that I was happy to get on paper.

I’ve just been on to check how some of the largest images I’ve worked on have come out. The panorama is 12 meters wide 2 meters high and the others are on the same scale. I shot the villa and worked a million layers of Photoshop onto that, the panorama and another wall so a very small part of the whole set up but an interesting piece to work on and it’s quite mind bending to start with a 3 dimensional environment thats human scale, capture a 2d photo of it work on it on a 15 inch screen, build it back into a 3d life size space then capture this 2d image of it where you can see it on a screen of whatever size… If that makes any sense.

So Instagram is telling me I was featured in the Weekend Herald for my skate shot in Wellington the other day. Skate culture in mass media is a bit of a hard one to get right but as I’ll take it.

For the Yeboi sale that is just beginning, we are getting into the multiples game so I played around with a whole range of cutting, folding and overlapping hoodies till I ended up with this.

When I have trouble sleeping I flick through Tumblr on my phone but tonight I came across this shot I took a while back, it’s nothing too special, the light was pretty flat and I was just shooting a few clicks for a guy I’ve known forever and now live with, somehow it made some Tumblr and were at 4,556 notes soo far. I have some shots I really like and worked far harder to get that go nowhere and then this pops up which must be one of my most viewed photos.
What even more weird is when I ran it through google image search I get this from boostedwear.com who surprisingly enough I’ve never heard of before.

I headed to Wellington for the past few days to check out the Semi-permanent design conference, but somehow action sports is always still around, the skate scene up there is really cool, I got to the latest release party for Seconds magazine right off the plane and a couple of days later we stumbled across the Zon of the lines skate comp, Pedro Day was killing it with this frontside flip, I figured I may as well snap a couple of frames and Dave Read, aka blue shirt and fisheye in this shot was keen on posting it into the Manual write up.

Saturday was rather larger than life, I had been shooting a solid 12 hours of photos on Friday so when my alarm went off again just after 5am I dragged myself up to shoot sunrise again, the a tour round town to find another shot, back home for an hour when my phone went so it was a wakeskate in the arvo, straight to the downhill bike tracks and as I was getting home for a chilled Saturday Night my flat mate told me I had 5minutes to pack for Man Camp aka drive to the end of the road as it gets dark, make a fire, sleep on a steep hill with no tents and wake up early again.
