Date Shake

So my wife and I did a little road trip out to Palm Springs last weekend for a friends wedding. Here are a couple images from the Shields Date farm. Enjoy.

Water Tower

Here is a photo I shot with my iPhone the other day while riding my mountain bike at the water tower. It was amazing: double rainbow, sun, rain, clouds and the moon! The word amazing can't even describe what went one.

New website!

So after blogging, tweeting, and facebooking I have finally updated my website. Libre Designs did an amazing job choosing a font, color palette, and logo for the new look. Yesterday I just saw the final proof before print of my new letter press business cards and custom dvds. I can't wait to see the final product in my hand. My website isn't fully done as I am currently working on a new sport portfolio where I will showcase, biking, kayaking, free diving, running and some other sports. I can't promise when that will be up, but I will be updating the blog with out takes from those shoots. Please check out my new site, spend sometime on there and let me know what you think.

hey DJ play that song!

Shot some photos of a couple of my friends who are amazing DJ's. Paul Fisher and Leigh Sedley really rock the house. I shot some pretty neat photos of these guys for them to have and promote themselves with. Hope you enjoy.

Website Sneak Peak

So I have finally gotten to the final stage of launching the new site. My website designer is tweaking the final little bits before it goes live this weekend. Everything is looking good. I am pretty stoked as I will have quite about more content on the site. So posted above is the direction that I am taking with the business....bright colorful and fun. Please comment and let me know what you think!

G'day mate....

This past week I got home from a last minute trip to the Gold Coast of Australia. I went over there to work on getting some images of Mick Fanning for Reefs new ad campaign as well as Rip Curls wetsuit campaign. Well I did both. Got some great action images of Mick as well as some cool lifestyle images as well.



Below is the view from my bathroom. Honest to god. Pretty cool to wake up on the 17th floor of a sky rise and this is what you see. I am heading to El Salvador for my final Reef trip of the year from September 4 through the 11th. Then I am free for a while. I will update later in the week with some screen shoots of the new website. Came out killer. Putting the final touch on images and the new look. Should be launched this week!!!

Richard Avedon in San Diego

So yesterday Laura and I went down to check out the Richard Avedon exhibition at the San Diego Museum of Art. Avedon was one of the first fashion photographers in the United States and basically the Annie Leibowitz of the 60's through 2004. I was impressed as he seemed to photograph everyone before they " made it big ". Here is a photo I shot of a wall of his prints. Go check it out as it is super cool!
