He also gives his opinion on each social media platform, something that I found educational, what he hopes to achieve in photography and what he's learnt on his short journey so far.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts about my show 'Chasing Clarity' and the digital magazine 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via Instagram -@senseiodellhttps://www.instagram.com/senseiodell/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?

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. So many learnings to unravel in the stories of lived experience...my favourite way of learning.I'm sure you'll enjoy the conversation as much as I did.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?

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. We conversed for over two hours so I've made this episode into a two parter.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?

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.

Thundercloud...a surf documentary about MASSIVE waves at a life threatening location...this was Talon's pinnacle of his craft at the time...independent film making. Talon's an award winning Cinema film maker that's humble enough to only mention it after pressing him.In this Episode we talk about his experience working in the TV industry, being head of audio/visual for Billabong at the height of the industry and his drive to make surf movies since being a teenager.We discuss his love of travel and adventure and what it's like to release a film to the world....spoiler alert....its stressful and rewarding!lol.Just a heads up...the C bomb is dropped as a quote once in this Ep.There's so many learnings in this Ep, I especially like how Talon discusses the value of footage and how there's time pressures with each new swell.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?

Hannah Prewitt a former marine biologist, sits with me over looking a beautiful morning on the shores of Dicky Beach. In this Episode of Chasing Clarity she tells me of her world wide travels, being mentored by famous surf photographer Joli, moving to Noosa and the trials and tribulations of going pro in her creative passion.

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?

Troy and I make our way into the water on a small, clean and clear day at the most crowded spot in the world. He's using an unusual Japanese camera in its native housing "Fantastic for slow motion video" he calls back to me as I quiz him on his gear before ducking under a wave.Troy owns the printing business Gold Coast Prints. "I started it with my dad...he got me started, I enjoy working with him" he says.In this episode Troy and I talk about the value of travel, printing for his creative idols, what creatives need to know about printing to get better prints and what life's like for a professional charter boat surf photographer.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?

The sun is barely peeking over the horizon, a thin orange line glows off in the distance, but the streets are still dark. A tall figure, GoPro in hand, lumbers down to shore, plunges into the quicksilver water and disappears. Sometime later he re-emerges, rubbing the salt water from his eyes and climbs back up the beach. Smiling at passers-by, a look of satisfaction beams from his face as he steps off the sand and towards the local coffee van at Currumbin Alley for part 2 of his morning routine. This is Nick Jones in his groove.First thing in the morning, every morning, every day of the year. I grab a coffee with him, instantly energised by his vibe and start talking life. It’s hard to miss Nick, not so much because of his height but more so because of his personality. Outgoing, supportive, cheerful and funny, Nick is always up for a chat and constantly throwing his support behind those ocean creatives who come into his life. But underneath the cheerful exterior is a deep thinker and a talented photographer. Later in the day Nick and I sit down for a chat in his peaceful Currumbin Valley pad. A jack of all trades, in this episode we talk GoPro, drone, DSLR, vortex shots, rock splashes and any other weird and wonderful creations that pop into Nick’s mind, even using sultanas to create an effect in liquid for a shot! We talk about Nick’s journey from Sydney to the Gold Coast, what motivated him to pick up a camera for the first time, what it’s like to have a mind that’s buzzing away at 1 or 2 in the morning and how the ocean and capturing its unique magic has helped him deal with anxiety, insomnia and the curveballs of life.For anyone looking at getting into GoPro there’s some good little tips in here for you and many words of wisdom for those out there dealing with anxiety and looking for somewhere to channel their nervous energy. We even get some fun stories about how Nick’s over active mind has come up with some bizarre but incredible shots. You’ll definitely get a sense of his quirky sense of humour in this episode! If you’re listening make sure to hop onto Nick’s Instagram, @nickjonesimages, as we go through some of his more unique images. Play along with us and scroll through his page as you listen. Some of Nick’s work we talk about is for sale fully framed and I can say they look amazing.Apart from ocean imagery Nick and I love a chat about one of our other passions, basketball, in our spare time. He’s a Lakers man and I’m a Celtics man, so we’d like to dedicate this episode to one of our heroes Kobe Bryant, who tragically passed away during the editing of this episode.We’d love to see everyone’s work by tagging us on our Instagram page as well as hear your thoughts on our show ‘Chasing Clarity’.

Listen to the end of the episode for a question on the future of the show and how your feedback can shape the direction.Lauren Bath and I battle the wind outdoors overlooking her local Gold Coast beach. This conversation had to happen on this day, and had to happen where we were, Lauren is a hard woman to schedule with but after a long time I finally had the opportunity to record our sit down discussion on Ocean Imagery. Lauren was Australia's first paid Instagrammer, we talk about that, the platform and how she uses it, we also discuss changes in her life, personal development, geek out on gear and even throw in some marine life stories for good measure. This episode is choc full of learnings! She drops a few F bombs in this one as most of us Australian's do...if you have little one's in the car be aware and yell "Earmuffs" like in that Vince Vaughn movie...otherwise turn it up in your ear buds and let the learnings wash over you.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?

Jake, Travis and myself sit overlooking Currumbin Alley and the bustling hive that it is. We delve into the good, the bad and the ugly and discuss what we've learnt as a result in a year in review. Travis talks about achieving two of his life goals and the two years of hard work leading up to them, how it felt achieving them, take aways we can use to achieve our goals and what he's now aiming for.Jake discusses the outcome, costs and lessons he's learnt from having three exhibitions this year...how he approaches venues and whats expected from an exhibitor (this insight is invaluable).Odell talks about having two images go viral, having an editorial published in a surf magazine, a full year of podcasting and how he mentally stays focussed.Its a lesson full conversation in between a morning and afternoon shoot and there's even some listener questions.Have a great New Year everybody, thank you to the Patreons that make production life a little easier, next year your contribution will translate directly to more episodes with the purchase of equipment for Travis and Jake...andI want to say personally a HUGE THANK YOU to you, the listener, we blew past 10,000 listens this year, which is massive in the podcasting world in the category we're in.

Ted Grambeau's logo was the first thing I noticed around the time of it's release...I remember not being familiar with him but admiring his logo and the fact the he branded himself...how clever I thought. From then on it was like when you buy a car you think no one else has...drive 100m down the road, you spot another one. Ted's logo would be everywhere for me. I soon became familiar with iconic images the Ted the artist produced...years later I would get to meet Ted the person.In this interview I do my best to stick with a vastly more experienced artist then I, at times during the conversation I felt like Luke Skywalker learning from Yoda...a 6ft plus, deep voiced Jedi passing on principles and concepts to a trainee. You can't not respect the fact that Ted's actively been at the forefront of a mixed genre of surf, travel, fashion, adventure, portrait and documentary photography...genres that weren't a "thing" until his era. There's not much more to say but plug in and listen up, 40 years of knowledge is available direct to your ear buds.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?

Jake Brereton and myself are joined by Jared Richards for a brief cameo on this Episode of Chasing Clarity. We discuss Jared's recent trip to hospital as a result of getting folded and what his biggest take aways of the last 12 months are. Jake tells me about his upcoming exhibition with Gold Coast big hitters Mitch Gilmore, Nick Jones and Brad Delaney, he talks about loosing precious memories, what he's learnt in the last 12 months and how he's focused on the path to becoming a full time creative. We broach the topic of respect and discuss why the Gold Coast creative community is going from strength to strength.I also mention an upcoming project I'm working to bring together and of course we talk a little gear.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've been apprehensive to release this, episode 20.It's always daunting baring a little of your soul on a public forum, how much sharing of your personal life is too much and how much is actually related to the topic of the show, a feel good show about something we do...it's simple, we love the ocean and we enjoy being creative around it. One of topics of discussion is mental health, my anxiety, my partners bipolar and some of the challenges we've faced. I write this to inform you that we briefly touch on these, some deeper topics and offer fore warning.We mostly keep it light, around ocean imagery, my previous guests and our surf photography journey. Travis also introduces a new segment to the show which I don't think I answered properly at the time of the interview.lol. As changes go, I think it'll be a regular spot.It seems a little self indulgent not only releasing an episode about me, but releasing it on my own show....but.....hopefully you find the conversation interesting, a little entertaining and ultimately helpful. Its hard to admit publicly the chinks in the armour I've spent a life time hardening.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts on 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?

Our guest photographer this episode is Odell Harris, his passion for imagery started at an early age, looking though photo albums at his grandparents home and photos of his grandfather during the war, left a lasting impression. Odell's love for the ocean also started at an young age, in 2013 these two passions came together and he started creating and capturing surfing photos. His podcast Chasing Clarity is about ocean imagery, come listen and learn about the events that has shaped his photography career.

Odell Harris is your typical 'mans man'. He loves rugby, trains in jiu jitsu and feels at peace in the ocean surfing.However it wasn't until Odell reached out to a close mate for help that he realised that he was experiencing anxiety.We discuss how Odell identified and overcome his anxiety attacks, as well as talk about his passion for podcasting and the impact that setting up a podcast that touches on mental health has had on him personally.You can follow Odell on Instagram @senseiodell and learn more about his own podcasts at:http://againstallodz.libsyn.com/https://player.whooshkaa.com/shows/chasing-clarity

The King of Clarity himself joins me in this episode. It was a balmy morning on the Gold Coast, we grabbed our take away coffee and snuck into a little patch of quite that didn't stay quiet long.Questionable parking from the pair of us, we were on constant look out for parking inspectors and foreign distractions pumping their rave beats at an incredibly early hour for such a high tempo beat....none the less we pressed on till the conversation started flowing and the golden tips were plentiful.Mitch Gilmore is the first name many use as their inspiration into the world of Ocean Imagery, he casts a burly shadow when meeting him first hand, tall, built and with facial hair that puts my pre-pubescent growth to shame,plenty are correct with their description of his mild nature.I first met Mitch on the sandy shores of the Gold Coast, unfamiliar with his follower count or his quality GoPro only work, we were introduced by a mutual friend. He's an instant nice guy, welcoming conversation and keen to gel over a mutual love of the ocean it wasn't long until I was hearing his name in my photography circles.In this conversation we not only delve into the life of a GoPro family member but also a little into his family and take a peak behind the curtain of the most requested guest so far.I have a very special competition for you this episode, DMC fins, Mitch and myself have teamed up to offer one lucky listener the chance to win their very own set of DMC fins! They are the fin of choice for both of us and they've gotten me personally out of a couple heavy beatings in the ocean...but thats not all...not only do you receive the DMC fins you'll also get a coaching session with the pair of us on the Gold Coast.Details will be posted in my stories....yep you'll need to be following me on the gram @senseiodellIf you'd like to share your work or thoughts on my show 'Chasing Clarity' Please get in touch via InstagramIf 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?

In this episode, just in time for another Ocean Imagery Creatives get together, I talk to the face and driving force behind the social event Jake Brereton.We discuss his imagery journey thus far and how a crowded and less than friendly surf line up got him started.Jake tells me what the ocean and shooting only GoPro means to him and if you listen really hard, even shares his beat boxing skills.He's a good man a social guy, always up for a chat and nothing is too much for his mates. Enjoy the show and look for him at the next gathering.Details of the meeting: 24th Feb 2019, 5:30am, Burleigh Beach. All levels welcome, its a social gathering as well as a creative one.Swell predictions are MASSIVE, conditions will be assessed on the day. With cyclone Oma and Huey pumping us overhead barrels at the moment and double the size forecast it could be a day on the sand for me and many others. I'll be running around collecting audio for the show so please don't be afraid to say hello.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts on 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?

16 years of filming some of the best surfers on the planet is what Craig Halstead brings to this episode.It's scorching hot on an early morning over looking the famous Kirra right hander, today a waist high, fuller tide swell crumbles along the famed point. "There hasn't been a decent swell for a while now!" calls an older gentleman hunched over in pain and shuffling toward me. "I still get to the beach at 4:30 in the morning...every morning." He continues, now closer.Craig directs me to a seating area and we begin our conversation for the show. Just like the daily clips he creates, his penchant for story telling is matched by few and he begins with some straight away.A lot can be learned by listening to those with far more experience, I hope you'll take away as much as I did sitting with one of the areas long serving stalwarts.I'd love to see your work and hear your thoughts on my new 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, on your stories or with a group.Want to suggest a guest or be a guest?

This is an introduction to the show, a prequel to the discussions had with various ocean image makers. In this episode Odell Harris talks what to expect from the show, why you should subscribe and at the end, his first actionable take away.

I met Odell late last year via a podcast meet up group. The first time I met him he took time out to get to know me and the things I want to do. In this short time I've become good friends with him and give him credit for helping me get this podcast off the ground with both advice and accountability. We met at Plum Tucker cafe recently for the first filming day of the show and we spoke about mental health from different perspectives. This topic is an intricate one but I feel talking more about the topic moves things forward 1% each time. If you feel mental health is important I think you'll get value out of this and if you want to continue the conversation you can follow us both on our social pages.@senseiodell@against_all_odz_podcast@matt__fay@narrativehub

Odell “Odz” Harris has his huge hands in everything and it was a refreshing joy to sit down with such a direct bloke with a great story about a tough past. He left me with […] The post Odell Harris – Board Critic – Surfing – Jiu Jitsu – Super league – #121 appeared first on Gold Coast vs Drew Kruck.
