It can sometimes get hard keeping up with everything in this fast paced world. I sometimes feel all I’m thinking about is the next job that I need to get done. Then when I sit down and relax, I realise that you need to make time to enjoy, be creative, be inspired to do your best work, and more to the point, love your job.
I’ve been sick the last few days so I have been ...read more
Back home and busy
So it has been a busy few weeks since I took my break. I have moved into a new place in Queenstown but barely had a chance to sleep there. My good friend Bugs from Reason Films and I have been out shooting time lapses around Queenstown. Ben sussed out this dolly from a group in Dunedin that makes all sorts of devices to help people in our industry. The dolly runs off a small motor and a ...read more

Indo – Surf, Snorkelling, Culture and more
Hi all. It’s been a few weeks since my last post. I decided it was time to take a break and get some sun, so I left the snow for a few weeks and met up with some good surf buddies in Indonesia. It was an amazing trip and it really recharged my batteries and got the creative mind ticking again. Just being in a completely different environment is good for you every now and again.
The trip ...read more

Night shooting, Macro and new snow
So things are kicking off down here. We had the MadeYouLook premiere last week which was a big night, reportedly over 400 people. Bugs did a great job of the movie and I think everyone was pretty stoked on it, that’s if they remember. There has also been a few other gatherings, so lots of catching up.
On the nights that I wasn’t out socializing I spent my time working on some star ...read more

Some drinks and the beautiful drive to QT
It was so good spending some time in my home town again. I love seeing old faces and catching up with good old friends, hear about their missions and where their lives have led them. But it was time for me to get down to Queenstown with all the snow around and to start on some new projects. I never get over how beautiful the drive down the South Island is. If I had the time I would spend a lot ...read more

Home and back away.
I have had some time to relax, clear the air and have a good think about what has been and what is to come. It’s always nice to spend some time relaxing, thinking of new ideas and getting the creative mind back into gear – taking walks along the lake, getting up early for a surf, and eating some nice home cooking. It doesn’t take long before I am ready to get right back into it ...read more

Back to New Zealand
So, I just got back in to NZ after a pretty empty flight from San Fran. I had an empty row, so plenty of room to lie back and catch some sleep.
I was in a bit of a rush when I first got in to Auckland. I needed to get some negatives scanned before a cut off, so I was rushing around Auckland like a bat out of hell, and my cameras both needed some surgery so I dropped them off to Canon to ...read more

Summer is here
Spring has come around really quickly in Tahoe. It warmed up to boardies and singlet weather in about a week and the snow is disappearing. The resorts are starting to close and the beers are starting to flow. My pasty winter complexion has already taken a hammering from the summer sun, but man it feels good to lie around in the sun on the side of a beautiful lake.
So I have been working on ...read more

Crazy Busy
Hi all - it’s been a few weeks since my last post, a bit slack but we have been flat out. I have now moved house and have been on the road, up in the back country and sledding the last three days. It’s been amazing weather for spring. We got about 3ft and since then it has been sunny for days. We also have a few new arrivals and a few riders have left, so it’s good to have some ...read more

The Trip to Nowhere
We hit the road all amped for some pow after Tahoe had been dry for a week. The plan was to head up to Seattle and hook up with some NZ crew and Roebucks, then head to Baker and maybe into Canada, but after 8 hours in the truck it all went wrong. We were in the middle of nowhere and the transmission crapped itself. We decided to head back after talking with a mechanic and finding out our ...read more
