Barber’s Blog: Cobra Snakin’
So it was Bjorn’s pro board release party last Friday night at Ambush Gallery in Waterloo. From what I can recall it was good as. All I remember was pretty much as soon as it ended we stole all of the boards that were on… More ›
Barber’s Blog: Bjorn Again
Jase Morice, Ben “Puff” Morice and I sat down with Bjorn Johnston and had a quick talk about changing sponsors and getting his name on a board. I think by the time it got to questions the three of us had worked our way… More ›
Barber’s Blog: The Sequence
Why not start the year off right by complaining about something I don’t like: The sequence. Whether it’s the whole technical difficulty factor or the lack of artistic merit, the whole thing stinks. I mean, what’s the point of the sequence? If you’re gonna go… More ›
Barber’s Blog: 2011
This has been a year of ups and downs. Having moved to Sydney with the crazy dream of shooting skateboarding full-time and earning a living from doing just that, it’s been a trial by fire. I’ve had to pack snowboards into boxes at Burton, shoot… More ›

Barber’s Blog: Oh Lifey
This week I’ve got some lifey cellphone shots because I can’t afford a point and shoot. Check it! Sydney in Summer is amazing. This is the view from the Manly ferry. So dope. Bondi Beach is ridiculous. Unless you wanna be neck deep in dudes… More ›
Barber’s Blog: Throwaways
Got some throwaways this week, check it. Jake is sick as. He’s riding flow for Enjoi. When the team was out here earlier this month we rolled around with those guys for a few days. Chifley Plaza is another one of those iconic Sydney spots.… More ›
Barber’s Blog: Martin Place
I have a love/hate relationship with Sydney’s Martin Place. It’s a time sponge. You can spend all day there waiting for somebody to turn up and die of frustration trying to get everyone to move on to the next spot. I’m always anxious about time and fading… More ›
Barber’s Blog: Introduction
So, I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to do a blog for Manual. Think of it as a bit of a photo diary with some words about what’s been happening for me and the people I hang with over here in Australia. I’m not even… More ›
