Owen Cavanagh and I look at each others frozen screens as storms engulf Brisbane all the way to Noosa. We wait for about an hour and start to record. I've passed Owens work many, many times on a quest to find a grinding cyclone right hander. The first over 20 years ago, I remember my co pilot pointing out "The Wave on the shed" and that we would be scoring so many waves like that in about 40mins...we did...and on the way home I remember looking at that wave piece thinking I truly had found my surfing Mecca.If you haven't already...and you fancy your image on the cover of issue 2 of Chasing Clarity magazine...to enter tag @chasingclaritypodcast on instagram and #chasingclaritypodcastmag in your posts.

A few weeks before this interview Paul Smith is standing at the rear of his stunning Noosa gallery, he's ducked out for a break, head down responding to messages on his phone, he senses my approach as my shadow falls over his screen...he looks up. "G'day mate, I'm Odell."Now we sit face to face surrounded by his increasingly popular fine art. Paul talks about his 30 odd creative years of producing work, his love of the ocean and his adoration of music..and the process of documenting both.This is a great conversation with a private artist that rarely gives interviews.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/senseiodell/@senseiodellIf you want to help the show grow it's awesome to subscribe, great to rate on your podcast player BUT amazing if you share the show with someone, your stories or a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?

Matt 'Rokit' Williams sits opposite me nervously fidgeting as Jon adjusts the cameras "I haven't really done an interview like this before...'" he begins to tell me before I cut him off with a "Mate we're recording, introduce yourself and lets get into it...' The nerves quickly fade as he tells me about his 14 years as a working photographer, his growing love for the ocean and his initial hesitation to move to the Gold Coast to pursue a lifestyle change.I've spent the last 18 months with Rokit, been there to witness his journey into IN water imagery and in this episode we talk about all that he's learned along the way, how his previous knowledge translates to the water, and what his take on the pursuit of Ocean Imagery is.Enjoy.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram -https://www.instagram.com/senseiodell/@senseiodellIf you want to help the show grow it's awesome to subscribe, great to rate on your podcast player BUT amazing if you share the show with someone, your stories or a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?

Dave Kelly is that mythical water housing maker that you hear about..but you can't quite tell if you know him or just know about him. His name is spoken by many a professional IN ocean image maker and he's responsible for providing the housing for some of Australia's most iconic surf footage and art.A surf photographer that carved out a living shooting for magazines Dave decided he needed a water housing to get unique images that he could continue to sell to publications..thus was born Dave Kelly Water Housings...a former trade qualified car body repairer Dave honed his skills in the Australian mining town of Newcastle, where he still resides. The regular image taker of a young Matt Hoy and Luke Egan, Dave tells us his thoughts on all things ocean imagery, life and what artists today should be doing to succeed.I love talking to the veterans of the game, this one's a long one...but a good one.

I first met Jon a couple of years ago, he had a pop up store not far from my house, his work hung on the walls of a large space and I was drawn to it above all others on display. We got to talking, I complemented him on his work. Some months later Jon and I spoke about mental health and the affect of injury, he asked about my experience with them both and I listened to what he was experiencing...I said I'd suffered with crippling anxiety and that a healthy dose of therapy with my physiologist meant I rarely felt it anymore.A year or so on Jon and I sit opposite each other in the Dbah carpark, it's the first video recording for our foray into a collaborative YouTube project.He talks about breaking his back in a cyclone swell at Kirra, starting photography, turning that passion for photography into a full time business...and shares all he's learnt in the last 10 years as a creative...so you too can have a career in the industry.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram - @senseiodellIf you want to help the show grow it's awesome to subscribe, great to rate on your podcast player BUT amazing if you share the show with someone, your stories or a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?

I first met Kuhio at Dbah beach on the boarder of Qld and NSW in Australia. It's a popular surf beach and Kuhio was traveling with his wife, I some how ended up having a back and forth on Instagram about something and here I was, walking on the hot sand, on a hot day to meet a guy I'd never met in person before. We compared cameras as all photographers do...mine was bigger and more robust, his was nimble and easy to adapt to the conditions...we ended up swimming and surfing the small beach breaks for a couple hours. The next day he was on a plane back to Hawaii.Kuhio hosted Trav on his first expedition to Hawaii, in this podcast episode we talk about that, shooting pipe, being published in the last ever edition of Surfer Magazine, what the best gear in his opinion is, what he's learned after being rescued and much more.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram - @senseiodellI've been getting some amazing messages since the last Ep.If you want to help the show grow it's awesome to subscribe, great to rate on your podcast player BUT amazing if you share the show with someone, your stories or a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?

Brad Delaney's an unassuming man, softly spoken, always dressed in black. I met him one morning exiting the water on a day when the claz was particularly good. "Whats it like?' I asked..."Beautiful" was the one word answer he gave. In this episode of Chasing Clarity I get more than one word answers out of a man thats lived a colourful life and in the face of adversity formed a solid black and white mantra.We talk about a childhood spent living in a bar in Melbourne, as an adult working in Nightclubs and having 2000 staff, how he got started taking pictures of beautiful models, transitioned to Ocean Imagery, sought a different life in Japan, upset the Yakuza then returned to the Gold Coast to battle cancer and come full circle to photograph in studio again.

Sean and I sit in a studio adorned with images of some of my favourite surfers. He talks me through a few as we warm up the vocal chords before the onslaught of questions I'm about to ask him. I first met Sean a couple years ago in a cafe on the Gold Coast, I'd heard him mentioned in a number of conversations as an inspiration to take up photography. The room was crowded with other creatives, I was introduced and he was polite...this was the first onslaught of questions by me...perhaps thats why this conversation took so long to happen.lolCOMPETITION!!Joli has agreed to judge the winners of the current comp we're running.

Australian Surfing Life magazine (ASL as it used to be named) was a stable of my grommethood...first released in 1985, I didn't come across it untill two years later when my addiction to surfing began. When I hit my teens and our tiny coastal town had a dedicated newsagents, the only thing better than walking the 40mins to the shop, pulling the mag from the stand and thumbing the glossy pages of endless waves and being transported to tropical locations, the only thing better was not having to put it back and actually being able to pay for a copy.Ray Bisschop, the now publisher of Surfing Life magazine contacted me a couple of days ago, I've been chasing him down for an interview for months "Mate, we're running a competition your listeners will probably...definitely be interested in." he said to me..."Entries close in a couple weeks!"

Travis and I walk the elevated driveway to the legendary Peter Joli Wilson's residents. Perched atop a hill we overlook the distant waters of the Gold Coast. "Please, come in." Joli greets us and invites us in. "I've never done a podcast before!" He smiles as we sit at the family dinning table. "Don't worry mate" I reply..."I've done a few."Joli as he prefers to be called is in the upper echelon of Australian Surf Photography, a good friend of previous guest Ted Grambeau, he's credited as a pioneer in the industry. With over four decades of experience, this is an episode full of learnings and not to be missed. From tales of photographing my favourite surfer Kelly Slater, how the industry has changed, to being subscripted into the Vietnam war, theres not too many topics we didn't cover.

Dylan re-assures me that we should paddle out here....I dont agree, I've surfed this place for 20 years....a bomb set washes through the keyhole further up where I'm pointing...."Ok, we'll go out here I say".Dylan's already 20 meters away, paddling out...I'm arguing alone.lol.I've been trying to have a conversation with Dylan for over a year, his Youtube clips would inspire me when feeling flat to get in the drink. On this day I not only got to record with Dylan...but I got to shoot a heaving cyclone swell with him.Theres weird things happening in the world at the moment.

An impromptu, bonus episode about Cyclone Uesi. Travis suggested we have a discussion about the pumping swell, swimming in it and any insight we could give you to further refine your craft...I had the recording gear, needed a break from the water before another session and was also keen to offer any learnings. We touch on a few topics out side the cyclone but generally its about this swell and how we differently go about getting creative in it.Join us and listen in on this unplanned, unedited conversation about what we love to do.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram - @senseiodellIf you want to help the show grow it's awesome to subscribe, great to rate on your podcast player BUT amazing if you share the show with someone, your stories or a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?
