About kayakcameraman

I’m a kayaker who has fallen in love with photography. You'll find me quietly snapping away at the unique seasonal changes that take place around me. I began paddling on the lake as a way to rebuild both my body and mind after enduring an intensive three-month bout of chemotherapy due to testicular cancer. I had never paddled a kayak prior to this and very quickly discovered how stunning it is to be on the water looking out – rather than in. What I love about photography and paddling is that it provides you with best head space. This is why I love my daily paddles, as it gives me peace and contentment along with some of the best natural light shows. Why would you not want to experience it!

Surfing the Golden Rays

4 Jan 2013:  Plenty of people were surfing golden rays to begin their day as the surf was rapping around the point at Crescent Head this morning. It began with early pastel tones and very quickly transformed into a magnificent golden display. What a beautiful way to star the day!

Great end to a wonderful day

3 Jan 2013: It was a fantastic end to a brilliant day at the beach. We are having the best beach holiday here at Crescent Head, the tides have been huge, the weather has been brilliant and yet again we have been treated to another stunner sunset to cap it all off. Have a great night, I’m looking forward to seeing what tomorrow will bring.

Wonderful Odyssey

1 Jan 2013: Today I was taken into another world as I explored the beautiful Maria River. This is truly one stunning river, it has so much to see and so much discover. You just drift amongst its meandering arms and quickly you become immersed in its  world. The visuals on top and underneath the waters surface are mesmerising and you are accompanied by the brilliant sounds of the Australian bush. I just love the world which it takes me to. Today I was only going for a quick hour paddle but it ended up turning into a four hour wonder odyssey.

Soft Subtle Start

2014 started with pastel pinks illuminating the horizon and continued on with soft subtle tones. It was wonderful transition that finished off with the golden rays bursting out from behind the clouds to ignite a new year. Have a great day enjoying the start of 2014 with your family and friends. 2014 is going to be a great year!

Sunrise No. 365 – Fantastic Finale

31 Dec 2013: Serenity and simplicity would describe Mother Natures final day to 2013. The golden tones and the crashing tunes of the ocean were a brilliant combo to farewell the year. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of my journey so far. I look forward to sharing more photos with you in 2014 and wish you all a safe and happy new year.

Perfect Accompaniment

30 Dec 2013: Soft pastel tones preceded the light of day with the sound of waves crashing onto the shore line. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting on Shelley Beach, Crescent Head this morning watching yet another day unfold.

The River of Relaxation

What a magic start to the day.

Surfing Santa’s- True Aussie Christmas

24 Dec 2013: The Surfing Santa’s always take time out from their busy world tour to have a surf at  the magical Crescent Head on Christmas eve. They looked fantastic and great crowds turned out to be apart of this wonderful event. You can tell by the huge smiles that everyone had a great time. What a true Aussie Christmas. Merry Christmas to everyone and if you find small deposits of sand in your lounge room you’ll know that the Surfing Santa’s have been.
