One fine winter’s morning – surfing in KZN
May 6, 2013 by Leave a Comment
It is always a gamble waking up early and heading down the coast to find some perfect waves but some days you win while others you try to forget. I spent a few hours the night before trying to decide and eventually made a decision to just go. I got up at 4:20am(actually woke up at 3:30am but couldn't go back to sleep in case I missed my alarm) sneaked through to the lounge … [Read more...]
The winter waves of KZN
April 23, 2013 by Leave a Comment
It's taken ages but the consistent land breezes that blow in the mornings in KZN during winter are finally here. If I walk out the house in the morning and feel a cool, fresh breeze on my face then my surfing brain automatically kicks in and I can just imagine perfect lines rolling in on the coast, it's not always the case but the mind can play funny tricks. The toughest … [Read more...]
Sean, a Car guard in Durban
March 27, 2013 by 3 Comments
I take for granted the job of the car guards down at the beach front area in Durban. I, along with many surfers, cyclists, runners, etc, just pitch up at the beach and dash off to go for a surf leaving my car keys with the car guards without giving it another thought. This can be from 4:30am or 6pm and they are always there. I have not had any incidents since they took … [Read more...]
Surfing in Durban
February 25, 2013 by Leave a Comment
I don't often get around to taking surfing pictures. On those ideal, perfectly-weathered days I prefer being in the water more often than taking photos from the sides! However on Saturday I got the chance to shoot in great conditions and of some awesome candidates. Here are the pics. … [Read more...]
Sunrise on a Durban beach
February 8, 2013 by 2 Comments
I set my alarm for 3:20am this morning to get up to go do a sunrise shoot and made sure that I went to bed early(sounding old already). I was so apprehensive about not hearing my alarm on my watch that I kept waking every hour to check the time so by the time it went off I was quite relieved, that I hadn't missed it, but also tired as anything. I rushed off to meet the … [Read more...]

Scott and Tarryn's wedding is coming up early next year so it was a great opportunity for all of us to get to know one another and get a feel for what it will be like on the special day being in front a trigger happy photog. It was a rare morning in Durban as there were hardly any clouds in the sky and of course no rain(yup I couldn't believe it either). We used the quiet … [Read more...]
Ocean Driven interview series with Shane Thorne
December 4, 2012 by Leave a Comment
This interview took place back in 2009 and was quite an eye opener for me on just how difficult it is to shake a drug addiction so to all those parents out there, including me, please read the interview with Shane. You had a bad run-in with drugs a while back, how did that happen? It started off in 1996 with just an ecstasy tablet, a friend of mine that I grew up with … [Read more...]
Ocean Driven interview series with Mark Richards

This weeks interview is with the 5 times world champion and influential Mark Richards, enjoy. What were the first surfboards that you rode? The first one was made by Gordon Woods who was one of the first surfboard manufacturers in Sydney and it was kind of a baby longboard for that era. They made me one that was about 6 foot long but that was in the day when boards … [Read more...]
