In one of my last blog posts i mentioned that throughout the autumn i was making little purchases to my kit in preparation for the up and coming winter. Here’s another couple of things which made it onto my shopping list. Rode Videomic One of the great features of [...]
So it’s that time of the year again where the winter world descends on London for the Freeze Festival . It usually turns out to be a fun weekend as a chance to catch up with friends before we think about the winter season that’s ahead of us. I’m going to be delving [...]
As we move further into October i’m now spending time with a mental inventory of new equipment i’d like to get sorted before the winter season kicks in. I’m saving some of the larger purchases for now but have a steady stream of little gadgets finding their way onto my doorstep most days. [...]
I just got back from another little visit to London after heading down to watch the London premiere of 9191 which is the latest video offering from Volcom focusing on the travel life of Gigi Ruf. It was cool watching a snowboard movie on a cinema screen and getting to watch Gigi is [...]
I headed down to London for a couple of days last week and it was a little different to all my previous trips. It was the first time i’ve been there and not had to take the underground anywhere. Now, London to the uninitiated seems a daunting place to try and get around [...]
This morning a copy of Australia and New Zealand Snow Boarder magazine fell through my letter box with a shot of mine gracing the front cover. If you haven’t already had a chance to check it out for yourself then it’s just at the bottom of this post. A family friend was [...]

I had a crazy 24 hours in Edinburgh this weekend to check out some of the Festival which takes part throughout August. It was my first visit there and i was blown away by how cool the city is. The main reason for heading up there was to go and watch Kronos Quartet on the [...]
The last few days i’ve been having a rejig of my online portfolio removing old images, adding recent work and generally changing my mind every couple of minutes. I’d love you guys to check it out and let me know what you think. I’m always after constructive criticism so welcome any comments that may bound [...]
I’ve just returned from a camping trip down to Devon, a coastal resort in the south of England. Catching up for the weekend with friends i don’t see often enough was great fun even though there was zero waves, not that i can actually surf.
I decided to take down my camera with a 30 year [...]
It feels like i’ve been away from my computer for an eternity as this summers path dragged me into a number of unprepared and unplanned directions. For the last two years i’ve made it down to the southern hemisphere at this time of year but due to costs involved, this year my feet have stayed [...]
I’m super excited to share with you my first ever magazine cover shot. It’s something every photographer aspires to and something i feel very proud about. Getting an image that is unique enough and able to tick all the cover shot boxes is no easy feat and i’m so glad to have finally done it.

A few things to take into consideration when thinking about snowboarding in the summer:
1. You have to consider what to Wear. Yuya was along the right lines but Kiichi thought he was going surfing.
2. You have to prepare your eyes for the greenery. Don’t like green? Won’t like it here.
3. When contemplating an afternoon beer [...]
Talking about the weather has reached fever pitch in England over the weekend which usually means can only mean the onslaught of two things; Wimbledon and Glastonbury. Now, strawberry’s and cream whilst watching a game of lawn tennis does sound inviting but its the latter one that grabs my attention. Glastonbury music festival is what [...]
So a delivery rocked up this morning of some shiny new business cards. I’ve been thinking about a business card design for a while now but its only recently that i made a design i was happy with. I’ve gone for the ‘less is more’ approach leaving out any imagery and concentrating just on the [...]
And so the tournament we’ve all been waiting for begins….
I’m now watching my tenth game of football since friday which can only mean the world cup has kicked off down in South Africa. The pace of some of the teams has been slow off the start, including Englands lacklustre showing against America on Saturday. Germany [...]
28 days after its release Apple announced that they had sold 1 million ipads in America alone. No doubt this figure will keep on multiplying over and over again as the units go on worldwide sale in the next few weeks. I had the chance to play with one a few weeks ago in the [...]
Birthdays seem to roll around on a pretty quick basis and mine has come upon me today. After two nights of drunken debauchery over in Bratislava for a friends stag do and then a last minute entry into a half marathon yesterday, i’m officially toast. For this reason my birthday this year has turned into [...]
This is the final instalment into my ten years of travel. Europe is one of those places that i often took for granted when i was younger as its so close to the UK. My desire was always to travel further a field into parts of Asia and America. Now though i love it. Its [...]
As i mentioned yesterday, i used to live in Japan. I was there for just under 2 years and loved pretty much all of it. I was living in Hokkaido in the north island and i snowboarded there for the first time which is not a bad place to learn to snowboard. Some of my [...]
