Two Thousand and Twelve 21st December 2012
Being one of the last Aquabumps updates for 2012 I thought I’d showcase some images I like looking at (and taken this year). It’s been a fun a year. Lots of travel in the first half, no travel in the second half and plenty of Bondi updates.
There is now 45,000 people that subscribe to our daily emails, nearly 70,000 on Facebook and 9,000 on Instagram. Oh forgot to mention 150,000 people drop thru our site casually every month. That’s pretty cool.
This all started from a little hobby and burning passion for the beach and surfing…punching out pictures of the beach each morning back in the 90’s…well before blogs, Flickr, Facey and stuff. This is an original idea…and I’m really into it…still…after 13 years.
It’s an exciting time to take photos for a living. We have access to so much good stuff…good cameras…great software…and free tools to show millions of people our captures.
I still freak out when writing this daily ramble. Who’d thought a C grade English yr 10 student would write something to a crowd the size of a small country. Sorry for all the typos. (I’m actually not that bright).
Special thanks to our corporate partners : Canon, Telstra, Land Rover, HTC and Peroni. With their continued support it allows us to do cool things and keep this daily slice free for you all.
Goodbye 2012…hello 2013.
Merry Christmas to you and your families. Thank you for tuning in : : uge

“Rare Pipeline” makes me want to surf everyday for the rest of my life. Your pictures bring joy to us all Uge, no matter the ups and downs of comments you have or will have on this forum, always keep in mind that every month 150 000 people check out your site, and most find out like I did a couple years ago, by word of mouth. That says a lot. Glad to see your living your dream, Thanks and Merry Xmas
Fergus said |
Thanks Uge, for bringing a smile, a bit of sunshine and waves in the daily life of your northern hemisphere / Irish fans. Wishing you, your family and your crackin’ little business a truly Happy Christmas and a fun filled and inspiring (as always) New Year.
