Aloha,
Rocks don’t make for nice trampolines, loosing one fin/flipper is not so lekker either. But loosing one and then your replacement pair turning out to be way better is so lekker.
Hopefully all the dramas are over now and I can have a proper water session. The swim out was too good to be true, something had to happen and it did. I was trying to shoot Damien getting pitched with the lip, it was a sizey beast so it would have made for a great photo, I left the swim under too late with the result of said wave gripping my left foot like a granny at bingo night saying “Thanks for coming, goodbye”. It ripped the fin straight off, must have snapped the safety strap too no questions gone. I tried to swim around with one fin but that was like playing sack races with one leg so I ended up swimming just to keep my life intact. Eventually decided to head insearch of said lost fin but to no luck so I went and bought a new pair. Got back to shoot and the weather went belly up ruining the lineup.
Back at the house going through the few images I did get made me angry for all the images I missed.
But all good things happen for a reason and that reason was getting new fins which turned out to be the best thing and deciding I will not be using my helmet unless I really really need to. That thing makes me feel like I am going to drown.
Went out in the arvo with Dan, we spotted a kegging left perfect for barrel shots, headed over and got a few. But alas the lack of light rained on my parade. Never the less that is why Black & White exists.
I gotta get me a flash housing, the guys with one were lighting up those tunnels of love like sparklers at the spur.
Dilemma dilemma, such a coveted place has the postcard become that I am getting requests for the position but it is tricky when you have two shots worthy of contention. But it comes down to who has had one and who hasn’t.
This little nugget was my only decent shot from the drama morning, unfortunately the lip dribbled all over the show.
Till tomorrow, as they say in Hawaii . . . Cook Rice NOT Ice . . . . . . . Mahalo
