Art St Clair Point

The photo below of the right breaking wave at St Clair rocks/point I used as inspiration for a painting above, which I sold on trademe a few months back..Below.

:: RETRO :: to November 11th 2005

Cold, wet, windy out there today.. sea looks pretty rough, I doubt if anyone will be out in the water today. I am all toasty in my studio about to get stuck into a new commission

Sorting through some old files while updating my photostock last night I came across some nice shots from a warm evening in early summer in November last year, soon after I bought my oly.

John Wilson Drive Closed till Jan 2008

Saturday .. shock.. discovered one of my fav spaces closed off to the public forover 16 months!! Awesome though that they are going to be working on extending the poo pipe out to sea way more though. Gonna piss off alot of boy racers who parade up and down constantly, I guess they will have to find somewhere else to strut their feathers.

yesterday and today

Yesterday drove past blackhead at 10am .. looked pretty good, but I was on my way through going to a little furthur south where I planned on doing some filming with a kindly donated DV cam.. so marched down over the rocks and took some great footage and a few shots with the oly.. where there were some gentle 2foot, long peeling rights and one longboarder out.

So today I decided to do the Blackhead thing after I got a 10am text that it was pumping again.. didn't make it out there till 1pm.. and it sucked sheit. so stayed a short time got a few shots and quickly left.. then found out later that just after 2 it turned on again.. such is life.

Top carpark at Blackhead...

got some more pics up on trademe

Theres a couple of $1 reserves..

august avo

A few shots this avo down at St Clair left one about 4.30pm ish the right one about 2pm ish.


Awesome atmosphere with a misty light which I accentuated with some filters on the computer to capture the feeling I experienced being there.

July 2006 - the month that was

thanks huey

Much warmer today.. so I spent the whole afternoon out and about taking photos. Black first.. one out when I got there, nice steady sets pumping through with a nice bank mid beach thowing off some long peeling lefts...

then within 20 mis and 6 more out it mostly dropped away with the change in tide..

St Clair next.. awesome to have the sun shining, especially since is much easier to get my camera focussed with good light, so some nice closeup shots today..

Bigfoot at St Clair

the elusive Sasquatch, or bigfoot, was spotted out at the point at St Clair today executing a bad shuffle, causing small children to run to their mothers and good surfers to cry..

Wave Wahine Saturday

Almost every (depending on conditions) Saturday morning , right though the winter the Wave Wahines meet and pick a spot to surf somewhere up or down the coast around Dunedin, this morning it was St Clair.

Just a few pics....

A chilling Sunday Morning.

Forecast predicted 100k winds for the avo? so decided to catch a ride down to check out St Clair again, and yes it appears I have no life at the moment, but I love my morning terraqueous meditation.

So from about 9.30 to 11 I stood freezing on the esplanade in another sunless Dunedin Sunday. Initailly a small uncrowded peak on the inside was picked off by three.. then over the hour it built to about 8 competing for the same peak.

after the storm

Relaxing start to the weekend.. an hour or so down at St Clair doing my 'photo meditation' havent processed any pics from that session yet, maybe tomorrow.
I did go back down to St Clair in the avo about 2pm tide had come in and swell had died out heaps.. but definately some explosive action from Nat and Danny and others..

Next lot of ** Art ** at Classic Cafe
