Chilled

May 2, 2017

This morning was really calm and peaceful down there...

Not much waves, so not that many surfers around, the sunrise was quite spectacular but because I was all the way North, it was slightly less exciting.

We went for some push/pull/abs reps, then coffee, long chats and swim.

I'm now late to work so chat to you later.

Bye!

My mates at our HQ (above the public toilets in South Bondi) ;)

May 1, 2017

Morning peeps,

Hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was awesome, thanks for asking. We released our first single with my daughter and my wife and went to the farm, literally 10 minutes from home.

So lucky to be living in this part of the world, every weekend is an adventure in itself. Now, I'm off to work but I love it, so happy life all around.

This morning, quite unusual, I was by myself but lucky I caught up with some of my morning mates.

Have a fantastic week my friends,

BOOM!

Friday Surf

April 28, 2017

Morning my friends,

Today was incredible, the sunrise, the surf and I was with most of my mates - no better way to start your Friday.

We went for a sprint from Bondi to Bronte and back in 23 minutes (tough!), then usual coffee and swim. Water temperature amazing, outside was a different story!!

Have a cracking weekend my friends,

Chat to you later.

Amaury aka. Morning Bondi

Only three surfers out there today... Good on you boys!

Trust me it's better inside than outside

Hump Day Gold

April 26, 2017

What a morning my friends! The light was just sun-sational!!

Hope you had a chance to go down the beach as it was a cracker down there. I went down for a run to Bronte, then coffee with Paul (aka the new daddy) and Julius, then caught-up with my daughter's babysitter Lea whilst she was taking photos of her boyfriend Yann ripping in South Bondi.

Water is delicious and the shorey is strong, go for a swim if you can...

BOOM!

Lea Levy, if you are ever looking for a babysitter, she's the one! Just get in touch with me...

Quiet Monday

April 24, 2017

Morning my friends,

Today I woke up to some pretty lame news, the first round of the French election... We have now the choice between a muppet and a racist. Come on French people, what's happening with you?! You definitely don't want me to come back, that's for sure!!

Anyway, lucky the sunrise was a cracker and my good friends Paul & Michelle just had a baby girl, otherwise I would have probably gone back to sleep...

We went for a Bondi-Bronte run with Patrick, then coffee, photos, chit chat with a few morning friends and swim. It was a bit chilly this morning!

Have a fantastic week my friends, another short one...

Ciao!

Amaury

Welcome to the world little Emily, this one is for you my dear...

FriYay!

April 21, 2017

One word to describe this morning: AMAZEBALL!

Have a fantastic weekend my friends,

BOOM!

When you are with all your mates... that's all it matters!

Thursday shark.

April 20, 2017

Morning peeps,

Hope you all had a good night sleep or a great day for my overseas friends.

Today was pretty spectacular, once again. Woke up at 5:30am as usual, there was some interesting colours in the sky then faded and back again around 6:30am.

We went to the jungle gym in North Bondi, then coffee and swam with a tiny shark. Shark?! That's right, my friend Hamish spotted a shark when he got in the water - a small one, around 1 meter at only just 2 meters from the shore. A bit scary...

We tried to look for him but impossible to find him again,

Ciao!

Amaury

Vroom vroom as my daughter would say when she saw this photo... :)

Pure Bliss

April 18, 2017

Morning my friends,

Hope you all had a nice Easter break.

OMG! What a morning, after a beautiful Easter weekend, today started really well too!

The 5:30am wake-up call was tough but well worth it, the sunrise was a cracker and I was with most of my mates. We went to jungle gymming, then coffee and swim.

Such a nice way to start a four day week!

Have a good one!

Nippy Monday

April 10, 2017

Oulala this morning it was cold out there...

I woke up at 5:30am and it was super chilly, so put a jumper and went out - first time in a year. We went for a Bondi-Bronte run with Bertie then coffee, photos and finished by a super duper refreshing swim.

Getting out of the water was a challenge with this light breeze...

Have a lovely week my friends,

BTW, don't expect photos on Tuesday and Wednesday morning as I'm going on the Gold Coast to play a golf tournament, as you do, especially when you've never ever played golf in your life - love my job! ;)

FriYeah!

April 7, 2017

Another day, another cracker...

Today was just amazing, we only did the fun bits: photos, coffee and swim. I was with my mates Bruno & Paul and we bumped into Rich, Adrian & Keiron. Life is good!

I once again got slightly too excited this morning and took ten photos.

Have a great weekend my friends and as always chat to you on Monday.

BOOM!

Yew!

April 6, 2017

Morning guys,

Oh my gawd, oh my gawd, oh my gawd... now we are talking!!

Today was just incredible, I really don't know what to say except that this is the Bondi that I like: sunshine, surf and happy people.

Here are 12 photos for you to look at. 12?!! Yes, I know I got slightly too excited!!

Have a cracking day my friends,

xoxoxo

These 5 minutes when Bondi Icebergs is getting hit by the sunrise is just magnificent!!

Today I would be more than happy to trade my job with this guy...

Happy Hump Day

April 5, 2017

Morning my friends,

Sun is back and it feels very good!!

Today, we did boxing with the gang, after 6 months of not doing it, believe me it hurts... Then the usual swim and coffee. Loving it when everything is bright and sunny!

As part of the crew, Kim was there hitting pads like no other - god this girl is fit! Besides being a really good trainer she launched a website called www.buddee.fitness helping people find the right fitness professionals in Bondi, not only PTs or Yoga Instructors but Tai Chi instructors, Post/Pre natal classes... basically anything! Go and check it out!

Have a fantastic day my friends,

Amaury

Morniiiiiiinnng Bondiiiiii!!

This morning the sun was playing hide and seek with us but I obviously concentrated most of the photos when it was bright and sunny and sometimes even burnt...

No training for us this morning just the fun bits with most of my mates, coffee with Carlos, Paul and Simon and swim with Hamish. Perfect morning if you ask me.

I think that's it for today, have a good one my friends!

Tots burnt but so good to see a bit of sunshine...

Apparently it's meant to rain later today?! No s***!

Wet Monday

April 3, 2017

Morning guys,

How was my morning? Wet!

I went down quickly for coffee, photos and swim. I was lucky enough to take the photos when it was not raining but believe me on my way back home I was drenched!

Anyway, enough about me, here are the photos... Are they amazing? Not really, sorry!

Have a great week guys,

Amaury aka. Morning Bondi

Sunny Monday

March 27, 2017

Yessss!!!

Best way to start the week, woke up at 5:30am, joined my mate Patrick for a Bondi to Bronte run, it was pitch black, went for coffee at Chapter One with my new reusable SoL Cup (coffee actually tastes better now - thanks again Rebecca for this great present), swim and photos...

The sun was out, there were heaps of happy people all around. Life is beautiful and I'm now late to work so chat to you tomorrow...

BOOM!

Hello Sun! Good to have you back buddy...

Making the most out of those tiny waves...

Fluro wave

March 24, 2017

Morning my friends,

This morning was pretty spectacular, the sunrise was a cracker and there were hundreds of people dressed up in fluro to celebrate OneWave 4th birthday. Way too much fun happening...

Congrats to Grant, Joel & Sam for this amazing movement that they have created.

Go boys!

The most loyal OneWave crew (they are down there every Friday!)

Yew!! Adam Yu is back in town for 3 weeks.

What a cute couple Leena Hakkas & Pedro Santos!

Little grom having way too much fun before school...

Half/Half

March 23, 2017

Morning my friends,

This morning was pretty awesome...

It was pretty grey for most of the time we were down there but once the sun started to pop-up, the colours in the sky were magnificent, for only a brief 10 minutes. Don't worry, I've captured it all for you...

Besides this show, what was awesome is that I was with all my mates - typically what Morning Bondi is all about. Spending some quality time with my friends and reporting it all for you guys.

As you might guess with the title, half of the photos are in bright colours and the other half black & white.

Enjoy and talk to you soon,

Amaury

PS: For the ones that haven't seen my Instagram Story yet, this month I have the chance to be all over The Beast magazine. Thanks so much to James & Dan for their ongoing support. It's been 5 years now that I have my photos printed in the magazine every month. BOOM!!

Splash

March 22, 2017

Morning my friends,

I know it's been a bit long that I didn't take more than one photo... Believe it or not but taking photos of grey sky is far from being inspiring and you don't even respond well to it. ;)

This morning we were welcomed by a beautiful splash of orangy-pinky colours in the sky. Amazing!

Here are the photos...

Lucky

March 14, 2017

I got lucky this morning. As I was about to leave the beach with only a couple of photos (the first two), the sun started to pop through the clouds.

I then took my camera out of the bag and snapped the last four in literally 3 minutes. Here you go, I have now another set of decent photographs...

Have a good one my friends!

Amaury

BOOM! (The web compression makes it all weird but believe me the version that I have on my laptop is amazing!)

Rainbow sky

March 13, 2017

If this is not the best Monday morning ever...

The colours in the sky were just incredible!! The sky went through all the colours of a rainbow to finish on a grey. If you woke-up at 7am, you basically missed it all...

We went for a Bondi to Bronte run, photos & drone action and finished off by a dip in the rough ocean.

Have a fantastic week guys!

Bye.

Check Le Cut Studio later to see it from a drone... — Check **Le Cut Studio** later to see it from a drone...

Les archives. Another day, another rainy day… As I could see it was not raining, I ventured down much later than usual, around 6:45 am. I just arrived and a light drizzle started. What are the chances?! I joined my mates for a quick dip in the ocean and coffee at Chapter One (my unofficial gallery, they have five of my prints on the wall). Still worth going out, if you ask me… Have a great day my friends and stay warm as it’s a bit nippy at the moment. Ciao, Amo PS: I’m going camping this weekend with a bunch of mates but pretty sure I don’t have the right equipment to cope with the cold. I only have a summer sleeping bag… It’s going to be fun, they say. 🤦🏽‍♂️🥶

Rainy days. Do you know what rainy days mean? It means archive days. Here are photos from the past couple of months, most of them were my second favourite ones so you wouldn’t have seen them before. As you know, I love doing my Morning Bondi routine but it actually takes so much time. I’m talking about the photo bit especially. At the moment, I take photos from 6:30ish when the sun is up for roughly 30-40 minutes, then selection of the good photos for 20 mins, light edit the best ones for 10 mins, then write the morning blurb for 3-5 mins (I tend not to overthink this, as you can tell), then upload of each individual photos on the blog for 10 minutes, then newsletter for 5 minutes, then Instagram for 3 minutes, Facebook 3 minutes and Instagram Story 3 minutes. Basically, around 1.5 hours on average. So yes sometimes, I’m glad when it’s raining as I’m saving so much time. Have a beautiful day, despite the weather, and chat with you tomorrow, Xoxo Amo

Golden Sea. Slow start this morning, it was pretty average unless you could wait up to 8am (I couldn’t) to see the sun popping out behind the curtain of clouds. It was all about the golden reflection of the hidden sun on the water. Gold 24-carat for a few minutes. I don’t have much to tell you today except that if you live locally and love ‘Shark Tank’ TV show, you will love the local version of it. It’s called the Bondi Innovation Shark Tank organised by the @bondichamber and it’s next Wednesday at @hotelravesis You can find all the deets in the media release and book your tickets on the blog. I’m going with my awesome business partner Mary Proulx and supporting Sam Cust, one of the sharks (I think that’s what we call them). If you come down, let’s have a beer and break bread (what I love the most about our business name is that the puns are endless). I loaf you! (see) Amo

Nothing to worry about, it's just a tornado off North Bondi, ... 🌪️😲 I took this photo this morning around 9:30 am. I was shooting with @versefinejewellery in South Bondi when we saw this waterspout tornado coming out of nowhere. Scary much? Look closely and you can see the person around Ben Buckler's cliffs running for his life... That's all folks!

Pure Heaven. What another beautiful start to the day! While yesterday was all about big waves, today was all about the mad reflo on the sand - absolutely stunning. I was sitting just next to Morning Bondi HQ and was snapping like a maniac. Have a cracking weekend and subscribe to the newsletter if you want to see the photos earlier in the day - new Morning Bondi formula. ;) Xoxo Amo

Bombastic. OMG, what an incredible morning! It's a very late update as I had a pretty busy day and didn't have a chance to post before now. The newsletter was out around 10am though, so subscribe to it if you want to see the photos before everyone else. It was honestly one of the best mornings we've had for a little while. The light, the waves and the surfers braving the waves. Xoxo Amo

Low-tide goodness. What a stunning morning! Today was all about the low-tide gold reflection. It was just the perfect conditions for photos. The problem, only a few people out including two metal hunters. I was with fellow Frenchy @dianeperreau all morning. I reckon she’s the most popular French person in Sydney. So many people are stopping her every morning to have a chat and take a selfie with her. Have a lovely day my friends, Ciao, Amo

Into the wild. What a cracker of a morning! For a change of scenery, I ventured down to Bronte this morning. I reckon I made the right choice, it was just an incredible show. I was with my mate @paolocattaneophoto for the entire morning and we were just looking at the waves rolling in. Bronte Pool was the best place in da house. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have seen the very rare video of me talking to the camera. With @bread_agency, my agency, I recently started working with the team from @in2thewild.aus, the best tiny houses business around. In order to have a better understanding of the experience, the client kindly invited me to go for a couple of days with my wife and daughter. Real legends, best onboarding! The whole experience was amazing - especially for someone like me that is pretty hyperactive. I just ‘re-wilded’ for two days. Even though the network was working where we were, I put my phone in airplane mode the whole weekend and made the most of the experience. The tiny house was kitted with all the things that you need, all the products in there are premium and sourced from ethical brands. Let’s be honest the firepit and outdoor bath were the highlights for me. I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially if you are like me and struggle to switch off. They are running a Winter Campaign which is all about swapping your usual beach days for days in the wild. You can book one of the 46 cabins all around Australia using the link in my Stories to get up to 20% off this winter OR alternatively try your luck entering the simple giveaway that they are organising on their Insta. You can thank me later! Xoxo Amo

Monday Madness. This is a very late update compared to usual but busy day today. This morning was just nuts down the beach. I only took a few photos before having to rush to an early meeting in the city. The swell should still be here tomorrow, so go and have a look if you can. Xoxo Amo

FriYay. How’s everyone today? After two days in Melbs (Melbourne for the hipsters), I’m back in the hood. What a morning! Incredible light, the surf was ON and the Icebergs was packed - perfect for photo ops. This morning I caught up with my mate Ben, a fellow Frenchy that I haven’t seen for years. We hung out around the Bergs and finished with a swim in South Bondi - how original. Enjoy your weekends my friends. Mine is going to be pretty epic. I’m going into the wild, literally. That’s right, I’m going to one of @in2thewild.aus’s tiny houses. More on this subject later. Stay tuned people! Have a cracking weekend, Lots of love, Amo
