How to frame your print

Your local framer can replicate the look in the wall preview above. Typical frame and matting cost is A$120–A$200 depending on size.

After work, like a fair few evenings, was up in the air again with the drone over Tamarama, just checking out the conditions. Had quite a swell running, which meant a lot of white wash boiling up and a fair bit of power in the ocean. Didn't expect much, but then spotted this red lifeguard boat out there, two people on board, carving a line through all that turbulent, foamy blue-green. The vibrant red against the chaos of the waves made for a pretty sharp contrast from above, a decent topdown shot that captured a bit of that dynamic action.
