It's been a while since I've shot Pama Davies on a nice wave

Waterlogged

It has been raining quite consistently since last night, much like the rest of the summer so far. My apps are saying it will clear mid-morning, before raining a lot tonight and tomorrow – I’m a lil’ sceptical. The sky looks very dark to me as I type this. Today’s images were shot last Friday, […]

Black Friday
