Liston Borrie FMX

Liston Borrie is a rising star in the FMX community. He consistently turns heads at shows and competitions. known as ''Rubber Boy'' I think amazing should be included in front of that.

I set up and made these few frames before a show recently to update for motomayhem who help out Liston with custom moto graphics for his KTM.

Dove Star Walk 2010

October is breast cancer action month and it kicked into high gear last night for Auckland at the Domain for the annual Dove Star Walk.

Thousands were in attendance, it was amazing to see so much support for the foundation and the campaign against the disease. If you missed it its not too late to get involved as there is an entire month of great activities for October.

I discovered that pink is a very happy colour. Here are a few of my highlights.

Yung Energy

Met with a cool Auckland crew Yung Shottaz their beats music and energy really inspired me to hit the streets. Here is what we came up with in the city lights resulted in quite a cool shot.

Also in the current Remix magazine done a little profile for Skull Candy nice bright colors and lots of high energy, I had to use one of the guys from Shottaz for it. Continued on the urban Auckland night City tip, made it a bit cuter this time round tho.

Photographer for V Shapeshifter Twin Galaxies NZ Tour

V energy recently sent me to take photos on the Shapeshifter tour. Music, venues, people beautiful different towns of New Zealand...A lot of amazing moments.

First thing that struck me was the amount of technology, gadgets and various tech bits that goes into making the perfect performance sound. Racks and racks of equipment and the wizards that man it know just what every tweak and turn of every knob will do. Its like they are putting together a giant puzzle that results in totally overwhelming experience every time.

Crowds were treated and charged with wave after wave of multi forming multi layered soundscapes cohesively brought together by the power of one. Love beauty and energy in all its various forms - Shapeshifter

AUT took my photography to new heights

MEN camp is all about supporting young boys in todays society. AUT is doing a good job at connecting with teenagers which of course is not that easy. So its best to tie them up and elevate them. I had to push myself, I had to get myself to new heights also was especially interesting to see my assistant balancing light modifiers 30 meters above the ground. Magic times.

Spiritual moment with Matt Walker in Rotorua

Took my kid to Rotorua for a weekend. Matt Walker found out I was heading down and so we decided to hook up and shoot. We had been meaning to get some shots together for Leatt NZ for some time now. Everything came together in a magical few moments and makes me realize what a wonderful country we live in where you can ride and create these images in the middle of winter. Make a shout out to all those supporters who came out on the hill to help out.

Fashion&BMX

I've been bored with the NZ fashion scene for quite some time now especially after the all time low point at the last NZ fashion week with Pamela Anderson running around the catwalk half wasted naked...Fashion really, please?

Funny enough REMIX out of all NZ titles lured me back into it. So BMX it is.

Below, Kurt Pickard NZ BMX champion for fashion/profile shoot for REMIX. looking thru the whole issue I'm suprisingly proud of being part of it. Well done Team REMIX:Tim, Tina, Carl & Co very nice issue.

Ilabb Sanctuary Open Day MX

Ilabb are creators of custom designs and decals for bikes boards and other stuff thats cool. Nice guys too with a mini ramp and old skool pinball in their office.

As clever and progressive kids they found a fun way to give back to the supporters and clients - coaching session riding MX at a private location.

It was great to be there, thanks guys.

Now here is a portrait of the owner of the farm we rode at, he can teach you a lesson or two about old skool.
