Fannie Bay


I was planning on posting a timelapse I took last night of the tide movements and tide pools but it's not turning out the way I wanted to. Instead here is a photo from sunset at Fannie Bay with the incoming tide passing through coral structures. Only two days left in Darwin then it's off to Sydney for two days!

'Badass'


When most people think of the term 'badass' a few things usually come to mind: black sabbath, tasers, and meteor showers. Today I have found a new definition of the term 'badass': a huge salty jumping towards my camera. Please see photo for evidence. Expect an update everyday hopefully before my return. Lots of cool stuff to share!

Up, Up, and Away







Spent the day in a tiny plane doing aerial photography. As you can probably guess by the photos I was in fact the co-pilot (which was awesome). Next time the mile high club? Endless possibilities.

Everybody Wang Chung



Not a good video if you get seizures.

Fish!







So pumped on my underwater housing I decided to take it out to photograph some fish across the street. Unfortunately the conditions for underwater photos weren't in my favour because the water was so murky but I'm still pretty happy with how they came out. So excited to use this gear in the Bahamas.

Beer Can Regatta






Spent an afternoon in Darwin at the famous beer can regatta. Teams made boats out of... well, beer cans and kind of raced. It was basically full out mutiny with boats sinks and people throwing flour bombs at other boats. All in all a pretty entertaining afternoon.

Under the Sea




Just received my underwater housing and did some tests last night in the pool at my apartment. Thanks to Randy for being in the pool at the same time. Next stop- the ocean.

Snake Wrangler







Since I am now a certified snake handler or 'snake wrangler' by the government of Australia I can basically take care of all your snake needs. After handling the world's 5th most deadliest snake aptly named the death adder I have finally become a true man of the outback. The best part of it all is they gave me a piece of paper saying I can do all of this now, like that's going to stop me from being bitten and killed.

If that wasn't enough I also spent some time wrangling (or petting) some wallabies that were running around, one happened to have a joey which was as cute as a button.
