Bordem

Today went down to the beach to have a stroll, wasnt much surf happening and its resting time. Just took a few random snaps and filmed some arb clips for the new Dont Stop Dreaming DVD.

Off to help a friend shoot a wedding down in Margaret river tomorrow at 8am, least the sun is showing its face again :)

Ben Harney Exposed

While based out in WA down Margaret River side, I have been spending some time catching up with Ben. Being the good all round sport he is, i thought id rack his brains for a few questions to find out a little more about him...

To follow Bens movements and more of his work, check out his blog below and watch for his work in the mags and online, some really good work being produced!

Black & White or Colour?
Colour.

5 favourite riders
Brendan Backshall, Mitch Woodland, Ryan Hardy, Joe Clarke and Alex Bunting.


how long you been shooting for?
About a year and a half.


what got you started?
Started playing around with cameras and found it real interesting. Then for my 18th birthday got my own and loved it. I think i just love capturing moments i've experienced in life and sharing them with other people. I've grown up around the ocean, bodyboarding as much as possible with friends and surfing photography would have to be my favorite to capture.


so you just started shooting water, how you finding it?
Yeah its pretty good, so many more doors open when you can shoot from water. Its alot harder then i thought and cant wait to work with some good riders in good conditions.

favourite wave?
North Point or The Box.

One thing we dont know about you?
I hate summer.

TV or Music?
Music, life's wasted watching tv.

Any last words?
Ciao.

a few frames i grabbed of the man himself the other day with a mess around paddle...

**ABOUT ONE WEKK AFTER THIS, BEN FLOODED HIS HOUSING ON A SMOKING DAY AT BOX**

River Mouth Madness

Today spent most the day having a fun paddle at Gas bay and cruising around and chilling out. In the afternoon we decided to hit up the river mouth shorebreak with some fun backwash...good way to end the day and got out and took a few random snaps for keep sakes.

Home away from home
