Donate

I'm all for helping a brother out, which is why I've signed up for 'Movember'.
All over Australia during the month formerly recognised as November, men (and some women) are growing amazing moustaches to raise money for the fight against prostate cancer & men's depression.

Please click here to support my mo, and help to save other dudes' lives!

Another great organisation that I support is the 'Leave No Trace' initiative.
If you're like me & spend a great deal of your life in wild and beautiful areas, you can't help but be concerned about the impact that we are having on these environments.

LNT has just announced 'The Bigfoot Challenge' - Bigfoot's been leaving no trace for years, and so can we! The goal is to raise $5000 in just 2 weeks, via a 'Cause' page on Facebook.

CAPTURE Magazine

Just picked up a copy of the latest CAPTURE, Australia's top selling professional photography magazine. Troy Beer put together a feature on 'extreme shooters' including interviews with both myself & with my good friend/mentor Simon Carter (who landed the cover), which I'm very stoked on!
Check it out at your newsagents today.



Bed Time

Last week I spent a sunny Sunday morning hanging out in the bedroom with my mate Courtney shooting some photos, a mixture of personal work & website shots for Heresy Snowboarding's new girlswear range. It was Court's first time modelling and she was an absolute natural.
Enjoy.

The Way of All Flesh

OK so it's been a while since I posted, about time for an update!

I had quite a busy weekend, starting with a spur-of-the-moment pub crawl on Friday night. Much fun was had, I somehow got home (albeit at 6am) in one piece and snuck in a nanna nap. At 8:30 I was up & at 'em- packed my camera bags & ropes into the van & spent a few hours driving around the countryside. After a delicious Caltex breakfast & a quick 'hello' stop at Simon Carter's house (he just got back from Europe!) I made it to Barden's Lookout in Mt Victoria (Blue Mountains) with young gun Axel Tritton & trusty belay-slave Macca MacPherson in tow.
Despite only being 16, Axel has been climbing at a high level for years. Today we wanted to shoot photos on a classic route called 'The Way of All Flesh' (28/5.13), and also test out some new Fstop bags. Several weeks ago the great fellas at Fstop sent me a range of camera bags to test drive. There are already lots of things I'd love to see improved on the bags, but they are definitely on the right track and are taking the feedback on board- I suspect it won't be long before I am using their bags exclusively!

Anyway it's late & I'm rambling, so to very quickly wrap up the shoot was a great success & I will be using one of the photos for a poster series (more on that soon- they will released at the World Youth Climbing Championships in late August, where I will be heading up the event photography)

Bouldering at The Grove

Quite a busy week in the life of Josh... lots of exciting things happening, but I'm keeping that all under wraps just for now- all will be revealed in good time!x
For a bit of eye-candy; I spent the afternoon at a secret bouldering spot called 'The Grove' with my good friends Pat & Miles, shooting a couple photos for a Crux Magazine article.
