“The garden”

A wave breaking towards "The Garden"

I’ve been looking a lot further afield than my normal shooting locatons, looking for fresh new locations to shoot and I’ve been finding a couple lately. Take this morning for example. I got up in the dark, grabbed a cup o’ coffee and headed down the coast. The place that I was hoping to shoot [...]


More Amazing panoramic scenes from Hawaii

Sunset Beach - Oahu

Folks, I’ve really, really been getting back into landscape photography over the past couple of years and have especially taken to shooting panoramic scenes. The past couple of weeks has been a pretty beautiful time here on the north shore and I’ve been shooting a lot of really cool beach pictures and coastal images. I [...]


Wallpaper murals from Magic Murals

I’ve teamed up with Magic Murals in the USA to produce extra large mural print wall-papers for those of you who just want a really big mural without the expense of purchasing fineart canvas gallery wraps or prints. Think back to the 70′s and 80′s when people were covering entire walls with single pictures and [...]

Folks, the unstable weather lately here in the islands has made for some incredible Hawaiian sunsets. Check these out from just the past few days…


The Great Ocean Road was better than great.

GibsonSteps_44

I just returned from a 10 day photo trip to Victoria and Tasmania, both southern states of Australia. I managed to shoot a lot of great panoramic landscapes while I was there, despite sometimes less than favorable weather conditions. The Great Ocean Road was a great example of this. We rocked up Gibson Steps, just [...]


Flashback to 2001 and Kieren Perrow at Shipsterns

Kieren Perrow surfing a big wave at Shipsterns Bluff, TAS, 2001

It was the year 2001 and I had led a band of surfers into a very remote and difficult to access surf location, deep in the Tasmanian wilderness. The place was still largely unknown about, but things changed after Kieren Perrow, Drew Courtney and Mark Mathews paddled out there. 2 Crazy sessions ensued over the [...]

A birds eye view of the famed reef at Pipeline

Pipeline's Reef clearly visible in the middle of the frame.

Ever wondered what the reef looks like that it causes the water to propel itself upwards and outward, forming the world famous surf break that we all know as Pipeline? Wonder no more. Here in this ariel perspective, the business end of the surf reef is clearly visible in the middle of the first frame. [...]


The long wait

Tiny waves on the north shore of Oahu.

It is now November the 18th which is well and truly inside of the normal window for big surf in Hawaii. Typically at this time of the year, you’d be looking at 10 feet plus of raw ocean swell, but this year, it has struggled so far to get beyond a couple of feet. The [...]


Davey’s Oceans Wave Sculptures – DVD

Davey's Ocean Wave Scupltures - DVD

Friends, I have just released a new DVD featuring hundreds of my best images of Ocean waves or as I like to call them ocean wave sculptures Way back in 1977, I squeezed off my first photograph which in itself was an ocean wave. Since then, I’ve photographed perhaps hundreds’s of thousands of images, but [...]


Kelly Slater add’s another 1 to his 10, to make it 11 world titles.

Kelly Slater, Pipeline, Hawaii,  2004

I used to wish I could have stood on the beach and seen the legendary surf sessions that happened at Off The Wall, back in the late 70′s with legends like Gerry Lopez, Mark Richards, Shaun Thompson, Buttons and more. Of course, had I actually been there, I’d be another 10 years older most likely, [...]


New sequence triptych Canvas’s

Whisper Curl

Folks, I’ve been offering the triptych canvas’s for quite some time now and they have proved to be some of my top sellers. I’ve had a pretty good run, shooting pictures of waves recently and so I thought I’d take it a little differently and offer triptych canvas of wave sequences. They look pretty cool [...]

Sean Davey calendars have proved to be quite popular over the years, so I got together with my mate John Conover over at CalendarLink.biz to create a range of Sean Davey calendars for 2012. The beauty of these calendars besides the images, is that you can start these calendars on any month that you like, [...]


New Surf City – canvas series

Honolulu Tsunami at theinertia.com

Folks, I’ve always imagined well known cities with surf in them. Of course most don’t have and we hardly ever see images of any except for the very occasional image of Honolulu or Rio. I set out to see what some of these places would look like with surf so with the help of Photoshop, [...]

The Aussie website: the collective has been featuring an ongoing series of pictorials of my pictures from surfingTasmania in the the early 80′s. What you could actually now call vintage surf.

Calm conditions deliver great surf-art opportunities.

A shell on the beach during sunrise.

Most folks who know my photography, often know how much I’ve always pursued and photographed waves. Sometimes, it’s not even the waves at all that I shoot, but maybe the foam that was left behind or a random bit of water leaping over the edge of the beach. Perhaps a shell buried in the sand. [...]


I’ll always remember

Man covered in ash,with U.S. flag

Just stopping for a moment to think about the heroes from Sept 11th, ten years ago, today. This is my photo tribute to September 11th, a photo which in fact, I captured back in 1993, some 8 years before 9/11. I’ll never forget.


Liberty Surf in New York City.

"Liberty Surf"

Folks, there is a world tour surf contest happening in New York right now with a unprecedented record prize money purse of 1 million dollars. The surf so far has been pretty poor but I reckon they must be expecting some good waves eventually with Hurricane Katia now on the approach. It could end up [...]


A touch of Tahiti and big wave surfing

silhouetted onlookers at Teahupoo, Tahiti, 2003

I’ve traveled to Tahiti numerous times over the years and it’s always an astonishingly beautiful place to visit. Many first time visitors will agree that it’s much like what one imagines Hawaii being like 100 years ago. Life is a simple contented existence on the land for many Tahitians, particularly out in the country areas. [...]


Surf City Canvas wrap line-ups.

Sydney - Surf City 3

Folks, I’ve dabbled a little bit here and there with photoshop over the years, but what I like to do is create amazing scenes that you wouldn’t otherwise ever see. Scenes that are quite obviously not real, to most folks, but always ultimately compelling to look at for most everyone. It started a few years [...]
