The boys are back in town! Da da da da da dum dum! For 27 consecutive weeks my blog has been (usually) right on time. Every Sunday see’s a weekly round up of our adventures and the weeks photography work, but for four weeks now I have been stranded in a neanderthal world without a laptop. It’s a shame when you realize that you rely heavily on technology but it’s a modern world we live in and thats the set standard, so its get on board or get left behind. Embrace the addiction!
Well I now have my fix of technology (new MacBook Pro) and also have an amazing new member to my camera swag bag, my new Nikon D7000 camera body!!! A big thanks to all involved who contributed, David and Louise Ford, Mum and Pete and of course Becca. The camera is 10 times better than what I had before and was used in full for a commissioned job at a skate comp the very next day! You should see the jump in quality in my pictures from now on via my blog.
So what has happened in the last month?……….
Well what haven’t we done? Becca and I have been to the mountains for an awesome birthday weekend with my best friend Pete and Anders. We have taken on the Central Otago Rail Trail, cycling over 100k in two days. Becca has purchased all new snow gear for the coming season and we held a little photo shoot for her. We’ve had a friend come down from the north island and I took him for a surf (he brought his 2mm short sleeved, legless wetsuit down, bad idea in Dunedin) I’ve worked a few jobs including the skate comp and another Radio One gig, which was the best one yet. Theres much more as you can imagine and many thousands of pictures to sort and upload but heres a little selection of the best.

Well I hope I haven’t bored you too much but there has been sooo much to report as you can see. I’m really stoked with my new gear and cant wait to use it more. Let me know if you see any change in quality in my next few blogs.
Thanks for reading and see you next Sunday
See Ya!
