Bondi To Bronte Coastal Walk
Bondi to Bronte: Creative Inspiration & 7 Days of Sunrise.

What a magical start to Wednesday!
.
I hit the backstreets of South Bondi and Tamarama on my sunrise Bondi to Bronte Coastal Walk this morning to get the glutes and quads firing, which makes my butt feel like a ripe peach at Harris Farms on market day and kickstarts the endorphins firing through my system by the time I start shooting out the back of Tamarama Beach, as the sun rises over the ocean and I walk down the hill from above to Bronte Beach.
.
I had an energising week of little wins last week, with several prospective biz opportunities that I’m hoping will come into a fruition over the coming weeks and months, PLUS I’m launching a new business venture within the next 7 days – you know that I’m into it and firing on all cylinders when I carve out time on a Saturday afternoon to register various domain names, the business name and lock-in all of the brand new social media handles across all platforms. You’re going to love this – it’s going to make you crack up with laughter and give you squeals of joy when you see it. Watch this space!
.
That combined with 7 x sunrise walks and 7 x lunchtime bodysurfing sessions in the 7 days from Monday to Sunday last week, had me flowing with energy and joy, so I was well ready for a 3.5 hour sunrise photography walk this morning after being stuck inside of the wet & cold, blustery winter weather of Bondi Beach the past 2 days (yes, it happens sometimes in winter) 😁✨
.
I met Maria at Bronte Beach just after sunrise and we had lovely little chats, whilst capturing silhouettes of waves against the Mackenzies Point and North Bondi backdrop, bumped in Uge AKA Aquabumps at Bronte Beach and a bunch of different peeps back on my home turf on the promenade at Bondi Beach, including one of my Instagram followers Kirsten, whom I’d never met in person before. She stopped me to say hi and tell me how much she loves my pics. Thank you! (Do it, don’t be shy, peeps – it makes my day every single time). I love our little Bondi Beach community!
.
As we speak, I’m editing this morning’s images with a smile on my face and you’ll note that I’ve given the captures some rustic yellows and deep, sky blues in Lightroom, as to me they fit the vibe this morning – coming out into the light of a beautiful sunrise after a stormy few days and the sea is still quite wild. Can you guess which shots are my faves?
.
I am looking forward to my lunchtime bodysurfing sesh and excited for the beautiful weather forecasted for the week ahead!
.
Happy Wednesday everybody!

From the backstreets of Tamarama to Bondi Beach. Cracking sunrise Sydney!

From the backstreets of Tamarama to Bondi Beach. Cracking sunrise, Sydney!
.
After the dirty-ass, stormy winter weather last week, I set myself a goal to smash out sunrise photography walks and bodysurfing every single day this week. Got to earn those weekend bevies (and the shhhh… weekday COVID lockdown brews 😁🤦♂️ 🤫) , plus I’m a massive foodie and loves a hot dinner too! 😆🥳
.
On my sunrise photography walks, I predominantly decide on the fly which route I’m going to walk & shoot (I’ll even change mid-walk), as I adore the spontaneity of a life lived in the moment and that’s how I shoot my photography too. It keeps it fresh, makes me feel more present, which in turn builds a feeling of zen and I find that it generates even higher levels of excitement, when I discover and snap so many amazing, spontaneous moments in time (as I did this morning) by going with the flow and just seeing where the mood and shoot takes me.
.
I hit a couple of my favourite secret spots out the back of Tamarama Beach, captured surfers riding beautiful sets into Bronte Beach – shot from the park bench in front of Tamarama SLSC (check out the one with the salmon jumping out of the water in front of the dude about to fall off his surfboard!!! Seriously!!!!!) and on the home stretch, I walked up and over the hill at Mackenzies Point to soak up surfers making the most of every last second of the golden waves at high tide in South Bondi. 2 hours of absolute bliss. This morning was fire!
.
Love you Bondi!

Think Global Drink Local – Supporting The Craft Beer Industry.

Rockin’ the new BentSpoke Brewing Co craft beer swag for my morning photography walk ❄️✨
.
I am up and out of bed well before sunrise most mornings shooting sunrise photography and while Sydney’s winter weather is nowhere near as cold as parts of USA, Canada and Europe, it has been fresh as f*ck this past week, just like this BentSpoke Brewing Co beanie.
.
Everyone is struggling at the moment and as a lover of premium quality craft beer and the creator of @craftbeerlovin’ craft beer Instagram, given how much growth we’ve had in the craft beer scene globally in recent years, it means a lot to me that this trend and the craft beer industry continues to evolve and grow, as I’m sure it does you too.
.
So the next time you’re at the beer fridge/bar at your local, no matter where in the world you are, think about how you can get crafty to support local business. The good news is that the beer will be fresh as f*ck too! So #ThinkGlobalDrinkLocal 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇨🇦💛✨
.
Happy Wednesday from Bondi Beach!

Alex The Seal hunts at Bondi Beach…

Alex The Seal comes to Bondi Beach.
.
I was otterly stoked to share my Mackenzies Point sunrise on Saturday morning with Alex the Seal.
.
Right now we’re in peak whale watching season in Sydney and I was kickin’ it at Mackenzies Point (Bondi Beach) waiting for the sun to rise over the ocean, gazing at sea spray from multiple pods of humpback whales migrating north in the distance and I glanced down to my right to see this little legend duck diving in the waves and hunting for fish for breakfast.
.
I’m pretty sure that the crew from Drone Shark App gave this little legend the ‘Alex The Seal’ moniker a while back and Alex was splashing in the waves for at least 90 minutes while I sat there chillin’… definitely has my seal of approval! Made my day!
.
Stoked to be back writing the hotndelicious blog again, as I’ve been spending a lot more time on my photography of late and it feels like the write time as I am in the process of re-launching this website to make my prints more readily available for purchase online. I’ve sold more prints in the past 6 weeks than all of the previous months and years combined!
.
So, if you are keen to snap up some hotndelicious sunrise print(s) for home or to decorate the walls of your biz, then email me on info@hotndelicious.com/drop me a DM on IG, check out @hotndelicious on Instagram for Alex the Seal videos that I captured of on Saturday morning and come say G’day!
.
Happy Monday everyone!
