Footage from 2006... been sitting on one of my hard drives & decided to finally get to it (my photography kinda got in the way). Just a quick edit, nothing special but Tony Yayo's stunts. Some tricks go on after the music & bummed I can't use the audio from the footy, but oh well. ENJOY!

Box Edit

Footage from between April & September 2007 when the park in Stell just got started. Not the most amazing editing or camera work, but just wanted to get it out there... expect a few street edits soon too.

RIDEbmx

So amped I managed to get an article on Cape Town BMXing in RIDEbmx. Keep your eyes open for the next issue. Can't wait to get my hands on a copy!

Girls in the Grass

My first more serious model shoot experience was different, but fun. Cot in Contact with Jeanne via Modelbase.co.za & she brought 2 of her friends along, Somarie & Lindsay. I was keen to shoot in a nice open area with a view & decided that the bottom of the cycle track at G-Spot would be it. I was keen for some sunset backgrounds, but started off facing the mountain & kept going that way for a while playing with my lighting as always & the warm sunlight was adding a great feel to everything. The girls were a bit of a hazard to the cyclists with a few crashing into trees trying to catch a glimpse. haha

It was good to have 3 models & was like a relay so I could keep going as they got changed & didn't waste a minute. Of course a few group shots were needed & then once the light was low enough I turned around & took a few into the last sunset colours & ended off with a fun group shot of them all jumping.

Definitely keen to work more on my model shots more, so expect a few more portrait posts in the future. Thanks to the girls for coming out to model for me, is much appreciated!

Dirtopia 2010

Dirtopia, a biking festival full of fun & of course great riding!

I did quite a long write up for Pinkbike, so not going to have too much of a story with this one, but here are a few shots that didn't go into the other write up.

Impromptu Exhibition

My mom & I were asked to be part of a local exhibition & I was quite amped being my 1st time exhibiting my work. We needed to send one piece of work & a shot of ourselves & I sent my HDR of Simonsberg thinking it would be a strong shot to be put on the invite with a piece by all the other artists. They had other plans & used the shot of me on the invite & poster. It was quite a surprise when we got it & after going around town I was getting more amped on the fact that I'm holding my skate in the pic & hopefully reminding people that rolling is not dead. Who knows, maybe some kid gets amped to start or an OG dusts his boots off & get on the wheels again.

Anyway I hope to see you at the opening on the 18th at 6pm!

Peace!

What’s New Doc

I was asked to take shots of a good family friend Graham Ellis a physician & poet in his spare time. It was for an article in a medical magazine called "What’s New Doc". These are a few shots that I liked that aren't being used.
