Currently hanging out in Kuala Lumpur, and just yesterday around 4pm, I dropped off two rolls of C41 Kodak film at this local indie film lab. Cost me 17 MYR per roll—that's about 3 Euros each. Got the scans sent to my inbox by 7pm the same

One morning about a week ago I noticed an offshore westerly wind when I woke up. And a fairly big swell to go with it. It was freezing cold too due to snow falling on nearby mountains the previous night. I grabbed my camera and drove down to the beach
Went out last weekend to take some photos of the vibe at the beach during a surf contest. 📍Scottburgh, South Africa📸Fujifilm X-E4 with Pacific Blues film recipe.
Childhood memories down the slide.
Went out on a Sunday morning with my Fujifilm X-E4 and decided to only shoot JPEG's. I applied one of the stock film simulations, ACROS which is based on Fujifilm's ACROS film, manufactured in the early 2000s. This is what came out.
I first discovered this video when I was 18 years old, early 2012. I had just gotten my first DSLR, at the time and spent a lot of time on Vimeo for inspiration & to learn about cinematography and photography. What was special about Vimeo? Vimeo is different to YouTube.

Had a quick stop over in Bangkok en-route to Kuala Lumpur late December 2022. Made most of my evening there behind the lens. Great city! 📍Bangkok, Thailand📷Fujifilm X-E4 using Jeff Davenport Night film recipe
Growing up my dad would always film holidays, Christmas, birthdays and when visiting family and friends on his Sony Video 8 Handycam. We'd get back home and then I'd be all excited to have all the footage recorded onto a VHS tape from the camera and
As a passionate software developer, I often find myself going into a nostalgia trip trying to think what it would be like to rebuild and relaunch Sixty40 in 2022. I used to live on Sixty40 and it played a huge role into growing my passion for the sport. After all,
In May I got covid. I managed to avoid it for the greater part of the pandemic. Now I'm a statistic. Symptoms was pretty rough to be honest - I expected it to be borderline a cold. It was worse. I was bed bound for about 4 days
TLDR - Why is bodyboarding still not thriving? Over the years, we’ve seen multiple bodyboarding body’s, amongst them are Global Organization of Bodyboarding (GOB), International Bodyboarding Association (IBA), the Association of Professional Bodyboarders (APB) and now the International Bodyboarding Corporation - which I didn’t even know exists,
It’s been about 4 months since I started playing golf modestly-serious again. While I played a lot as a kid and during my pre-teen years, it’s something that faded a bit when surfing took priority in High School. I’ve been going to the range now once or
I’ve been using Apple Music since it’s initial launch in 2015. It launched in South Africa long before Spotify and being a Mac + iPhone owner at the time, it was the obvious answer to my music needs. Recently on my Macbook I started playing with Smart Playlists on
It’s been about a year and a half since the Covid-19 pandemic started. I came back home to South Africa at the end of 2019, to spend Christmas with the family and my grandpa who a few months before was diagnosed with stage-4 lung cancer. My plan then was
If you’re family, friend or follower (like on Twitter), you most certainly know by now they struggles I’ve had with my internet connection in most of 2020. If not, I recommend reading these posts to familiarise yourself the the bigger picture of why I build ISP Logger: * Rain
Quickstart - Check out the Repo on Github After nearly 2 years of almost exclusively building frontends with ReactJS, I decided to give full stack Django a visit again. I needed to build a simple & stable CRUD application and figured, going the SPA (Single Page Application) route will be
If you’ve been following me over the last few months, you would most certainly know how many internet related issues I’ve been having since the start of 2020. If not, let’s quickly recap from the very beginning of our internet situation at home in South Africa… 1999:
The morning of my flight to Chiang Mai, I checked in online and had that sorted. Good thing I did that as I noticed my flight is from Don Muang Airport and not the big airport where I arrived. My airbnb host explained that I can the train to the
Whenever I feel some self-doubt vibes creeping up I watch this video and somehow I feel better again. :)
How do I build something? I’m not a programmer. If you wanna learn to make apps, build websites, etc and don’t have a budget to hire a developer, you should really take a couple of months and learn to build products. With a bit of effort and dedication
I've been coming to Jeffreys Bay for many years, ever since I can remember. Little did I know back then that it's home to one of the best waves in the world. In recent years as I started getting into bodyboarding I learnt more about the
After I made Downtime bot, I decided to go a bit further and make it related to something I’m truly passionate about. Surfing. It started off with mapping out my local knowledge about surfing here. * Wind Direction * Swell Direction * Swell Size I also had to write a bit of
Launching products is what I love doing….. well, creating products and seeing it come to life and then sharing it with the world.. It think it’s the coding part that’s addictive. Writing code and then to see my computer finally doing what I asked it to do is

One of my German classmates in Korea posted a photo of him standing next to a shack on Instagram with no context. I initially thought the photo what taken somewhere along his travels through Africa, and coming from South Africa myself, I thought that's brave thing to do
Over a weekend in early November 2015 my friends, Ricardo, Stefan, Fabi, Carlos and I jumped on a bus to Sokcho and hiked up one of the biggest mountains in South Korea. I'm writing this almost 7 years later, but backdated to fit in with my other posts.

It was a very undecided morning as far as swell around the area was concerned. It was full high tide, not much swell, but at least the offshore was pumping! We checked out a few spots and they were absolutely tiny. We headed north to a few beaches, and we
No epic swell or heavy winds, but the long swell periods on light offshore breezes in the morning made sure we are in for some fun waves. We started of searching for waves yesterday morning. Everywhere was rather small or not really doing it. We eventually decided to go look
We have had some swell over the last 24 hours, but nothing to get extremely excited about. Waves was about 4-6ft overhead. A few pictures of unridden goodness.
So, waves have been pumping today here on the South Coast of KZN! Epic 6ft barrels, offshore and clean perfect swell!...... I wish! Was actually like 2ft onshore mushy slop. So def not a very favorable weekend surf-wise - Onshore expected to stay for the rest of the weekend. Other
Waves unfortunately weren't firing! But there were a few ones to relief the crave for waves.....
A solid left, breaking on Aliwal Shoal... Caused by a big EAST Cyclone swell and a Spring low tide.
Actually decided to start a personal blog.... Well since I saw most bodyboarders have one, so I thought 'why not' ! Enjoy
