The city streets were awash with heavy rain early this morning. At 7:45am it was still quite dark down the beach as the cars, headlights blazing, began to bank up around the coastal feeder roads heading for the big smoke.
Dressed in my 3/2 steamer wetsuit and holding a bright yellow water housing in my hand, I must have looked like an idiot standing in the pouring rain on Campbell Parade shooting the commuters boarding the 333 to work. I’m just glad it wasn’t me trying to hold my umbrella open until the last second before jumping on that cattle truck!
I saw all of one surfer this morning leaving the water at South Bondi as I drove away. I would have loved to have taken a shot of him and got his name. So keen to be out in this when no one else is. The beaches are a virtual ghost town.
A mate of mine I ran into asked, surely you have something in the files you can put up today instead of shooting this crap. Answer was "I do! But if it was me, I’d rather see a bit of what is happening today…"
Stay dry!
Billy
