Slideshows, Websites & Snotty Noses
There is a slideshow on theBOMBsurf website with photos from my day in Cape Town for the Pierre Du Plessis paddle out and O'Neill RAW Courage Awards. All the photos are frame grabs from video I was doing with my Go PRO HD. The quality of footage from this little gadget is amazing and I cannot rave about it enough.
The new found mojo from getting this blog up and running again has spilled into the website pool which has been lying empty skated by the wheels of procrastination. Last night I sat down and commenced the daunting task of sifting through literally thousands of photographs with hundreds each excellent in their own right. How does one choose 20 photographs to showcase ones work? Photography is a matter of subjectivity, you cannot please everyone, stay true to the line you draw and when you are planning on showcasing more than one subject one can get carried away. Just for the surfing gallery alone I spent hours choosing photos only to end up whittling them down to twenty.
Tomorrow I am meant to be free diving with the big toothy friends again but the liters of snot clogging up my sinuses have other ideas. I've been diving before with a snotty head and it is not pleasant no matter how much equalising you do. Hanlii says I MUST go, my joy of swimming with a feared predator says the same but the pack of slimy frogs drumming to the tune of my heartbeat have a different idea. Tomorrow we shall find out.
