ALWAYS REMEMBER:
THAT LAST LOOK
There is nothing quite like walking back up up the beach after some epic waves and having that last look as another set unloads.
I only wish I didn’t have to work the next day.
Last Sunday, late evening. Coromandal New Zealand
HIPSTAMATIC
I was always a bit of a late developer.
I’ve only just found the iPhone app ‘Hipstamatic’ & I love it.
What I love is that it reminds me of shooting film on fruity cameras.
You get these random and beautiful colours and results.
DUST, SWEAT & BLOOD
‘It’s not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong stumbled, or where the
doer of good deeds could have done better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat
and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great
enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end
the triumph of high achievement. and who, at worst, if he fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall
never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat”
THEODORE ROOSEVELT
( Paris Sorbonne, 1910 )
GUM BOOTS IN THE RAIN
It’s been raining a lot over the last month & having to stay in side is driving us all a bit crazy.
So this afternoon, we went hunting puddles to jump in. On with the gum boots and pink raincoats. And off we went.
Jumping in puddles is one of life’s simple pleasures.
THE SPHINX
I took this photo on a Leaf Digital back and camera in September 2009.
Rev. Samuel Manning did the illustration by pen and pencil in 1875.
From The land of the Pharaohs : Egypt and Sinai.

FORGIVE & FORGET
What you refuse to get over, you’ll live under. What you refuse to forget, you’ll drag like a ball and chain through life.
This is another beautiful image by the very talented surf photographer Jon Frank

THE OCEAN
‘There is no irony in the sea.
No politics or religion,
just raw power and grace’
unkown
It is where I feel the closest to God

MAKE THE MOST OF IT
‘We cover our earth in concrete and metal.
We are overwhelmed with knowledge and information.
We wage wars to conquer and divide.
Yet we are here for but a second’
