Another Year Over
Hugh Galloway has done a heck of a lot of good surfing this year. Here’s my entry for him for etnies you-tube thingy.
Here he is last January willing the cold away. It was better than it looks.
I literally only went to a handful of gigs, which is disappointing. Hopefully the 7D will inspire me to head into a few more. February brought Conor O’Brien from Villagers, new album due out some time in the new year. Keep an eye out.
I did manage to shoot a fair bit of non surf stuff which is good. I want to expand, getting stale and content never improved anybody.
Stacked logs in March.
Of course there was some cracking surf as well. I reckon 70% of my sessions this year were at everyones favourite death slab. I wish it wasn’t so damn photogenic, I kinda want to shoot other waves as well. Thing is all though, everyone ends up there if it’s any good.
Tom Gillespie in April.
Oh how I want a ski (and a helicopter, but more on that another time), managed to grab a lift on a ski in May by complete chance. What a session. Dan Skajarowski on a monster.
Unfortunately Liam Joyce had to head back to NZ for a while, but hopefully everything will work out and he’ll back over to us again.
Sneaky solo session in June.
I used to drive past this host almost everyday. I’ve always thought it has the best looking garden. I always get the urge to run around in the grass.
July ly ly ly ly ly ly ly.
Photogenic chap is Tom Gillespie, in and out of the water.
August parties, not for the faint hearted.
You don’t always have to look seaward. Sometimes it’s even better looking if you turn around.
Explorations in September.
Honestly it is Ireland. Really. Weird that water can bend and hold it’s shape like that.
October Coral.
Cold, short, dark days. There was waves, but I went surfing.
Pete Fleming on the lookout in November.
Cold? Did I say November was cold? That was a joke right?
Dawn breaks in December.
