It’s hard to believe, but Aquabumps is 25 years old now. What sprouted from a little hobby and rev-up between mates has become a sophisticated Bondi gallery and global website, and our artwork hangs in most cities worldwide.
I didn’t really start out in ’99 with any goals or aims; I just wanted to have a good time and follow my passions—shooting pictures, going to the beach, and surfing.
In the nineties, there was no social media, blogs, or anything else, so you just attached digital images to emails and blasted them out until you crashed a mail server at work (sorry, Deloitte).
To celebrate our silver jubilee, we’re launching a coffee table book, “25 Laps Around The Sun,” designed by Ant Donovan (one of the best designers in the country) and featuring 304 pages of my images from recent decades. It’s our fourth book, and I’m super proud of it. We’ve only done a short print run, and you can secure your copy online here!
Thank you to you all for tuning into Aquabumps for 25 years. I’ve still got plenty in the tank to shoot another 25 years.
Today at Bondi, it was 1 foot onshore mush. I shot some, but I’m not sure they’re hanging in the gallery!
