This shot was taken at Lusancay Islands just after we pulled up anchor… not a bad place for a little rest I reckon. Just going through some stuff and I reckon this is one of my favs so far but there will be more from this location I am sure….

1: Mike Fletcher at work.. He asked me to take this for him, something about if Mark could see him working, then his gig on the boat would be safe….. Your gig is safe mate after seeing the promo video you did… Your BEST effort so far

2: The Noipous village Kitchen area.. Just off to the side of this was there oven… A big rock fueled bonfire type setup that cooked all their food.. Very primitive but functional

3: A dentists worst nightmare… check out his Fangs… and not a bloody care in the world, I love PNG

Just returned from one of the best trips to PNG with Mark, Mike and the True North crew. The True North is an absolute credit to Mark and his staff. The service is extraordinary, the locations and excursions planned are great, the food top  notch ( even for picky pricks like me ) and the locations visited are awesome. I could go on and on about this trip, but for now I wont. I had the pleasure of bunking with Mike Fletcher and it was fun times. He has been on this boat before and knew all the staff and made my trip alot of fun and to see how he works to get these videos of his done was a learning experience. I have not had much of a chance to get to my images yet, this is one I had a few minute with… a young boy from Noipous Village that was playing a wood guitar with one string on it. I cant get over how friendly the kids and everyone was… for a group of people that have nothing to be so bloody happy was mind blowing. Ill post some more images when I get a minute or two…. There are some crackers in amongst them for sure, especially some from the heli flight we did around the volcano at Rabaul. Thanks Mark for talking me into this trip, your staff and everything in general made this certainly a trip to remember

On Friday of this week, I am off to PNG with fellow photographer Mark Stothard and video genius Mike Fletcher aboard the super True North. I have been waiting for this trip for so long and now its here, I am really excited about it. Mark  tells me there are photo opportunities at every corner and I cant wait to actually get there and see it for myself. These two photos Mark took on a previous trip a little while back. More of Marks work can be  seen at his blog by clicking the link above or here… Cya on Friday guys…. Keep checking back here and on Marks blog as we will be updating regularly from the boat

I have been going through some images from a recent helicopter trip I did in the Top End. While they are not saleable shots, there are some great memories in there from a great trip.. If you feel like taking a look, here is the link.

I will be adding more when I get the time

Fellow bloggers, Swervin Mervin and Dave Bettini thought it would be a good idea to do a little mini promo on the small WA town of Marble Bar, why they  decided to do this is beyond me but I am playing along anyway. These shots were taken when The CAKE CREW ( Albert, Casey and I ) hit this happening  town earlier on this year. We stopped here overnight on our way to Karijini and I would go as far to say, if I was ever going back this way, I would  probably drive through here again en route to Karijini. The first shot was taken from inside the caravan park early one morning, the second is Chinamans Pool and the third is Marble bar Rd ( I know I know, its so similar to Casey’s but we were next to each other when we shot it )

Today we ( myself and a mate Brett ) went out to BIrdie Beach. The swell was still big but nowhere near as big as it has been in the last couple of days.

This area up here has so many good places to shoot but time lately has been a little hard for me to come by. Between now and my trip to PNG, I am going to be trying to shoot as much as  possible and get my mojo back for the trip. The second shot is of two guys that were fishing ( and catching lots of fish as well ) right on the edge of the rocks. People might say we are mad  for trying to get as close as possible to the edge to get our shots, but those guys that fish are NUTS ! ! !

This morning myself, Brent Pearson and a friends of his Colin, did Canyon X. Brent was probably one of the first to shoot this place and as of late, there have been a few more photographers getting down there. It is a little hairy climbing down the track in pitch black ( ask CF )… He loved the experience so Brent tells me ! !

This is a different take on this spot. If you look closely, you can see one the ropes needed to get down and back up. I got another shot from here that Ill post later take from out on the rock shelf. I have to say a massive THANKS to Brent for taking me down there. He is a genuinely good guy and will do anything he can to help anyone out, thanks mate ! !!

This has nothing at all to do with photography whatsoever, but I thought it was funny…..

Have a nice weekend, Ill try and post something like this every friday to make everyone laugh, so stay tuned ok

I was going through some old stuff ( well not that old ) but shots from a recent trip with Casey and Albert and found this shot of Oxer Lookout. This lookout is not far from the Eco retreat and gives you a birds eye view of Junction Pool.

If anyone is going to the course that Christian Fletcher and co are running next year, you guys are in for a treat.. This place is amazing and I WILL be going back for sure.
