Spray – The Pass @ Byron Bay After muchos disorganization on my part and some reminding on Kez’s part Photo of The Week has returned! I thought another surf shot was appropriate as I’ve been out of the water for FAR too long for my liking and spend my days dreaming of the warm waters …
My Byronian Pad, Aquarius Hostel After nearly a month of absence photo of the week is back! I temporarily cancelled it due to my schedule being packed up the east coast and not really having enough time to get it sorted! This shot is of the place I called home for my stay in Byron …
So thought I’d give you an update on the road trip so far. Despite the weather being rather on and off I’m settling back into life in a van, guerilla camping and eating nothing but noodles!
After 6 months and following weeks of planning I finally popped the Byron Bubble and have left the town I’ve called home for the majority of my Oz trip for good. I’ve known this day had to come but I’ve been ignoring the fast approach of it and trying not to think about it too …
My last two days in Byron Bay have been as good as I could have hoped for. For starters the swell has served up some of the tastiest waves I’ve had for months. The last week has been pumping.
Byron Graffiti The above image is part of a series I shot this week revolving around the graffiti in Byron Bay. The town has employed graffiti artists to turn things like alley ways and electric boxes into stand alone pieces of art – something that I feel reflects the laid back and alternative vibe of …
After numerous shifts, job roles, a heap of money and a whole heap of hassle I’ve finally become unemployed again after handing in my notice at Cheeky Monkeys.
Over the last few days I’ve been forced – due to lack of fundage – to actually do some masculine type work! After putting my beloved van “Leslie” on the market I had to get a safety check for some potential new owners. Unfortunately he failed!
There were 4 bands that I really wanted to see whilst in Australia. Ironically I’ve seen 3 out of 4 during my stay here in Byron Bay! I ticked the first off at Byron Bluesfest in the form of The John Butler Trio. The second was The Beautiful Girls who I saw at The Great …
In the last week I’ve refound my joy of fishing in Byron. With a distinct lack of surf me and the boys have needed something to keep ourselves entertained and with the weather being pretty dam nice we found that with fishing.
This past weekend has been pretty sweet, despite a few issues. In fact said issues kind of lead to the weekend. Stressed and needing to clear my head I’ve been on a pretty chaotic few days here in the Bay.
Having just finished the final leg of their Australian tour, home grown indie band “The Beautiful Girls” are heading out of Oz to tackle the US and beyond – promoting their newest album release “Spooks”. I caught up with lead singer Matt on the second of their double dates in Byron to chat solo projects, …
The Beautiful Girls, Byron Bay Perched on a rock overlooking the Byron surf, lead singer Matt of The Beautiful Girls – nursing a slight hangover following their epic second gig in town – reflects on the completion of their new album and chats to me about their Oz tour, the impact of the internet and …
I had Friday night off and Saturday too. After a chaotic week which has resulted in a severe lack of sleep I planned on watching a movie, having an early one and lying in. …like that was ever going to happen!
Yesterday I said farewell to my brother, Josh, who came over during his Uni summer holiday to surf and party with me here in Byron Bay. But in true Stevens fashion it wasn’t well planned!
As you may have already read, this week my little bro left Byron and headed back to the UK after 7 weeks of soaking up the Aussie sun and riding the waves with me. Despite all our pre Oz banter and planning we didn’t achieve much during his stay – we basically surfed all day …
