Thanks Mate!

I made it home!  Three months in Australia always puts a smile on my face.  The beach, the food, the city, my mates—and did I mention the beach??

This was the first time I’ve gone to Oz without a serious plan.  No exhibitions and not a ton of shooting.  This trip was about one thing: a personal life reset.

I only spent one week in Melbs, but it was fun and full of love.  I adore my besties there.  I did a simple shoot with the local band Vixen Scream… then spent nine hours in the emergency room.  UGH.  Not fun.  But I got to see friends, and honestly, that’s what mattered most.

Most of my time was spent living in Bondi Beach—as always.  My home away from home.  I love everything about Bondi: the people, the friends, the food, the beach culture, and most of all… the beach.  I walked 2–3 times a day and sat on my bench more times than I can count.  I love my bench.

I did a handful of shoots—not as many as last visit, but every one of them was fun.  Shooting at Tempe and Lunar Studios is always a blast.  Bands, musicians, models, DJs, and new talent—this is what makes these trips special.  Shooting new talent is the best.  Their passion is contagious and always makes me smile.

Overall, it was a great trip on many levels.  I didn’t get a complete reset—but I got a strong start.  I’ve got BIG ideas and big goals ahead, and a lot to do.  I want 2026 to be all about health—financial, emotional, mental, and physical.  Thanks to Australia, I’m off to a healthy start.  Thanks, mate.  See you soon.
