On a Personal Note – The Quoll Adventuregaine

Personal Experiences Oct 15, 2009 No Comments

After photographing extreme sports, outdoor adventure for the last few years, I kind of felt it was time to re-ignight that burning flame that was hidden away inside. You could almost say the jealousy was painful, the athletes striving towards there personal goals and reaping the rewards, friendship’s a big one for me.

So two years on I have been actively involved in the Adventure Racing community and haven’t looked back since, becoming a better mountain biker, trail runner and have kayaking skills which often get laughed at.

Outdoor Adventure Oct 12, 2009 4 Comments

It’s kinda funny how you meet friends over and over during your life in different places, this time sport. Back in the early 2002 I (Muzza!) met Kristian at a skydiving boogie, we did several jumps together (approx 20) and had an all round great time. Now seven years on we meet again in this great club: Adventure Sport NQ and hearing of his adventures now as a white water kayaker which is just awesome! He popped the questions.

Undoubtedly it wasn’t “will you marry this handsome man” but went kinda like this.

Outdoor Adventure Oct 09, 2009 No Comments

Once again the committee of the Great Pyramid Race & Country Fair Association (that’s a mouthful) asked me to photograph the main running race and the days events. Not bad since it’s been one of my first events I ever covered as a outdoor photographer, now it’s my sixth.

I know contract another great photographer (Stu) to capture the action from a helicopter during the main race. Before I get too excited and explain my setup here’s last years blog on the GPR.
