A journey back from 'up north' via the country...
The photographs are of around a small town called Tilba Tilba on the NSW coast, south of Sydney. Central Tilba is a small but thriving arts community. River Cottage is being filmed in Tilba and you can also find stunning beaches in Mystery Bay and Bermagui, nearby.
And sometimes I get a little carried away...
Uncle Davey is up at mum & dad's place for a couple days, he told Sebby he'd take him for a surf - Dave is a very good surfer and, if I had a longer lens, I'd have captured a few better images of him earlier today (he broke a fin going hard) ..anyways, he gathered up Seb and after a quick beach lesson, took him out into some small mush to give it a shot.
Davey doing some eighties dancing on the waves... #HandsInTheAir
He's been surfing since he was about nine or so, knows what he's doing and loves my kids so I had no hesitation sending my first born out into the depths... Pappy was also standing by for rescue duties - I was too, but it would have meant dumping a 5DMK3 / 70-200 f/2.8IS in the surf (which I was totally up for doing, mind)
He informs me he was not "aiming for the dude"
Anyways, I've babbled on, here's a quick photo story of Seb's first surf (and my first time on an 8'6" Mal in 20 years... stood up second go!)
Thanks for reading, you can purchase all the gear I use if you find out what it is and visit a local camera shop, or you could.. err.. not? Happy days!
Someone sent me a message and asked "why do you bother photographing your coffee?" ..usually I'd say "good question" but I have an actual answer, so I thought I'd share it with you here...
Q. Why do I bother photographing my coffee?
A. Because I like doing it.
