There's something a little fishy going on here

It’s been a bit quiet round these parts as i was dipping my toes into the warm waters of Thailand.

As has become the norm on holidays of late the SLR stayed stowed away for the most part, but i took it out for a trip underwater with an EWA Marine case borrowed from Charlie.

Cybele says hi

These were taken in the water off Phi Phi island, you drop a bit of bread in the water and the fish go bananas.

It's getting a little crowded in here

Swimming with this many fish is a bit overwhelming. It feels like you’re being eaten alive by a pack of piranhas, until you realise that the fish are doing their darndest to never touch you no matter how much you flail your limbs about.

Except for one fish who pecked at my nipple. Kinky devil.

Next to where these photos were taken is a little spot called Monkey Beach. Surprise surprise, monkey’s hang out there. They’re used to humans feeding them, so as soon as you arrive they descend from the trees in the hopes of a snack.

2am 1st January 2011. Phi Phi island.


Wired on Redbull from Thailand’s infamous buckets i snapped this frame on New Years morning from the beach near our room.

This one's for all my friends in the Northern Hemisphere.

Happy 2011 everyone.

As i mentioned before, on my recent US trip it was a joy to just be on holiday and take happy snaps again. That meant leaving the SLR behind most of the time and just using the iPhone.

As The Awl pointed out the other day, it’s getting a little old hat adding film effects to digital photos. But I like em better this way.

In Joshua Tree National Park on the drive to Las Vegas

It’s been a bit quiet round these parts because i’m on holiday at the moment in the US. Cybele and i are in New Orleans now, leaving on a drive along the Gulf Coast today towards Miami, then onto New York.

I’ve been enjoying not worrying about photography and just being a tourist again, taking happy snaps on the iPhone. For it’s old school polaroid feel i’ve fallen for the Shakeit Photo app.

I’ll continue to post photos from the trip to my tumblr blog.

Matamanoa Island as seen from Hipstamatic

Cybele and I have just returned from a lovely week long holiday on the Fijian island of Matamanoa.

Like our last holiday, i hardly took any photos. Since doing photography for a living, holidays have been more of an occasion for downtime, away from the camera, laptop, iphone and distractions of twitter, facebook, email, rss feeds and information overload that’s normal life.

But one occasion when the camera came out was at night, to try and capture the night sky.

One lesson i learned is that you really need a rock solid tripod for this sort of thing. A rickety plastic table isn’t ideal.

And that the world spins remarkably quickly. The stars begin to blur after a 30 second exposure.

I’ve been on holidays the past few weeks, taking in Kersey, London, Amsterdam, Dortmund, Cologne, Berlin, Athens and Milos.

Oddly i found that i didn’t have the desire to shoot much. So it’s probably one of my least photographed holidays ever, but one of the most enjoyable.

When i met up with Cybele in Greece and saw her enthusiasm for taking photos it inspired me to do the same.

But it mainly ended up just me taking pictures of her taking pictures.

I’m back in Sydney now, trying to hold onto that post holiday glow and enjoy the early mornings while i’m still jetlagged.

I’m catching a plane to Thailand this afternoon. I’ve got a few nights in Bangkok, a few nights in Ko Tao with a wedding in between.

See you on the other side.

It was lovely, as you’d expect. A proper tropical paradise. We spent most of our time on a resort called Amunuca on Tokoriki island.

Fiji

I took less photos than i expected, the camera really only came out at dawn and dusk.

One casualty of the trip was my fancy phone. It was soaked through after i stupidly took it parasailing and was dunked in the ocean. Annoyingly i still can’t find my old phone, so i’m phoneless.
