Another February has come and gone and once again the Bondi Bowlarama was back in town. I was lucky to head down there on the Thursday afternoon with my mate Christian to see some of the skaters practicing from the competition held on the weekend..

In the past month or so, I was fortunate to take a little day trip down the coast just south of Sydney with my friend Allison. The plan was to the visit a part of the NSW coast that I hadn’t really seen plus visit all the ocean and rock pools along the way

All Sydneysiders would be familiar with the lock-out laws brought in by the NSW Government in 2013 as a result of ‘alcohol related violence’. What most people wouldn't know is the media led hysteria campaign and subsequent ridiculous band-aid laws that were established by the then state government to 'curb' alcohol related violence in major entertainment precincts such as Kings Cross and the Sydney CBD.

Last year I had been looking into getting a new camera. I love my Mamiya 7 a lot but the only limitations seemed to be with the lack of minimum focus, especially when taking portraits. I had done a portrait series with the Mamiya 7 with great success but only being able to get within a metres distance was not close for me with other portrait ideas I had.

So I’ve decided to do a wrap-up post for 2015. 2015 has been an up and down year in terms of photography for me. I’ve definitely photographed and travelled a hell of a lot less then 2014 and 2013 and spent the entire year in Australia with my head down saving money for my next trip.
