So the Mr Price Pro Ballito has come and gone and I think everyone can agree that it was a great event. I must say that we were blessed some of the best conditions a lot of people have have witnessed for a surf contest and even though the swell dropped off for the last few days we still had good contestable waves. Go check out the slideshow on Surfline for a full rap up of the event.
The surf was absolutely firing yesterday at the Mr Price Pro Ballito. Some of the best contest conditions I have seen for a while. I have been shooting the event for Mr Price this year and to follow all the action and to check out the daily galleries, click here.
My second cover of Reo Stevens in the last year, stoked!!
Why I have the urge to pass on some silly bit of wisdom, I have know idea... but do yourself a favour. Next opportunity you get, wake up early, go for a surf, a run, a paddle, whatever you enjoy. It’s good for the soul!
I spent most of the last week down the coast with Jason Hearn shooting a section for his new movie Scratching the Surface.
If you don’t know about the project go to http://www.zigzag.co.za/site/awdep.asp&depnum=27636_47_11_A148 to check the trailer and little from the last section and trip we did together, Senegal. It’s a pretty cool project to be involved in and great to grab a little inspiration from Jason who has an excellent eye though I’m not 100 % sure what’s going on in the above image. I think Jay just gets really pumped when he gets the shots, haha. Anyway, few more locations on the cards over the next year, will keep you posted.
There are a lot of happy surfers in South Africa at the moment with all the swell we have been having. Here Royden Bryson pulls into some east coast perfection on our recent trip down the coast. Cant say exactly where but check the upcoming Zigzag for the whole story.
We all go to game parks at some stage of our lives and for those who don’t, I seriously recommend it. There is nothing like spending some time in the bush to relax, de-stress and get away from crazy city life. I recently got the call to do a bush trail and spent three days in the Hluhluwe Umfolozi Park doing an article for a local travel mag. It’s one thing viewing rhino or even lion from the safety of your car but running across them in the wild on foot is a completely different experience. If you like the outdoors, do this! It’s on the bucket list for sure.

A few shots from last weeks Mr Price Music C out in Ballito. It was a pretty good night with about a 7000 strong crowd coming down to Salt Rock beach to see some of South Africa’s top bands like Zebra and Giraffe and Prime Circle just to name a few. Shooting a music concert on that scale was great and a nice change from the action photography that usually keeps me busy. There were countless angles to shoot with lights and effects all over the place but still nothing changes when you have a bunch of photographers all trying to get the shot so there were a few elbows in there haha all good. Highlight of the night... Definitely getting kicked out of the bands private bar. Give me one beer and I think I’m some sort of famous Rolling Stone photographer from the 60’s haha!
