Quayde Baker may be one of the easiest people to take a photo of while hes on his board, with so much style and talent he would have something for nearly any spot.
Getting a decent portrait photo of him on the other hand is a completely different matter. The second he sees a camera on his face hes outa there.
I managed to catch him with his gaurd down after destroying a certain secret spot.
Not so much postcards from melbourne as i wasn't really a tourist there but some chilln photos of some crew over there anyway,
If your'e on my blog im sure you realised i was away in Sydney and Melbourne for the last 2 weeks. Being such a tourist in Sydney i took lots of photos and if you were lucky enough you would have received a limited edition Aidan White Photography postcard.
Its looking like some of them were lost in the post (not yours albert you just didnt get one)
i scanned them all up last night so you can all check them out anyway see what everyone else got and all that i cant remember all of who got wich ones but they should all be there.
i think theyr kinda big files so might take a while to load.
Some may think its insane, but personally i think its absolute genius.
flavours collide and the most unhealthy mouth watering creation i have ever tasted was put together.
This was my lunch today.
a Krispy Kreme original glazed donut cut in half
containing
the contents of one Hungry Jacks cheeseburger
(i would have opted for Mcdonalds but there isnt one in freo anymore)
if i could do it again i would
but i doubt i will have anymore donuts come mid day tomorow.
give it a do some time if you get the chance
you will most likely be disgusted.
The last two days haven't really gone to plan verry well at all. Both i had been hoping to get out skating and shooting but both managed to get rained out as bad as the other.
Monday ended up cruising around i think it might have been Fitzroy going from pub to pub, had an amazing half price dinner at one of them and some intense video game action at another... became a bit much to handle at some points. Monday night also made my first visit back to Pepperonis since i have been here, Would have to be the most convenient and actually decent tasting pizza slicery around 24 hrs a day i think as well?
Tuesday started off a bit better, wasn't raining yet but it was SOOO cold. So went and had a nice little breakfast with Belle before meeting up with some crew to try and be productive. It didn't last long. The chilling wind picked up and the rain came down and it was over. Ended up chilling in Prahran with the other perth crew in town for now.
So i haven't really got to do that much of what i wanted but im still having fun, taking photos of filmers instead of skaters...
heres Geldi doing something with his camera checking angles or something?
My daily updates for the trip kind of failed pretty badly there for a bit. But theres just been so much going on in Melbourne and the shittest vodaphone connection i could not deal with.
Spend the first day just chilling in the city as it got rained out prety hard and went to the opening for the new Street Machine shop in Prahran wich is an amazing shop, Met up with Gloks an Jewi there and met heaps of other amazing crew, before being taken out into the city with Cornwell for some of the real Melbourne night life.
As you can see from the photo Gloks had a prety big night as well...
Had a couple of good little skates round the city the last 2 days and even was lucky enough to get to skate the famous big 3 in the city that your only meant to get on newyears day.
Had my way with a couple of chicken parmas so far and lots of other cuisine,
But the highlight so far has definately been meeting Tim Regard, DOPEST DUDE ALIVE!!!
should be a couple more updates before i go.
heres a couple of fliks i managed to get up.
Gloks struggling,
and Shorts with some kinda grab down the 3.
Today was my last day in Sydney, Tomorow im off to Melbourne!!!
Sadly my last day got heavily rained out. A light sprinkling shower that decided to extend itself throughtout the whole day.
I met up with Olly anyway as we planned to head up to Cammeray, wich we did anyway so i could see how amazing the park there was that i would not get to skate thanks to the wetness. I even saw a couple of grommies wandering around one rolling on a GMTA 40 board.
The rest of the day consisted of burritos (the green thing was lunch), slurpees and a bit of shopping before heading back to Ollys for some drinks and getting more burritos with him an Jess.
So thats the end of that chapter
Its all about Buuuuuurn City for the next 10 days
il keep you updated, for now heres a photo of my green log lunch filled with chicken satay and some trendy night photos of the sights, sorry i didnt have a tripod on me so theyr a little blurry...
