Jake Cutler: The Black Swan of the Black Swan

Welcome to This Blog

I know its mostly photo's .... so if your not into that stuff then this prob isnt the place for you.

I travel a relative amount in WA chasing waves to surf, so now being armed with a camera i can document the places and waves that i get to see. I also carry my rig around with me prop about 80% of the time to shoot just random things that interest me, hence there will be a mixture of waves/surf and complete random randomness.

I have just completed a degree in a Bachelor of Surf Science & Technology (YES a degree that involves the surfing environment and industry plus other environmental and technological sciences) and also a supporting major in business studies. Kinda looking for a job, kinda not.

Please dont be shy. You can also check out full albums at my Flickr site just by clicking HERE

The Black Swan of the Black Swan

After the sun rose i went round to Coode St Jetty for a laugh, when all of a sudden this crazy black swan come along and first tried to befriend a Pelican and then wanted to be my pet for the morning.

I was photoing the city and the black swan and she (assuming its a she[the swan]) would whistle at me, follow me, she even stalked me when i tried to leave. I was walking along the river bank back to my car and she followed me for about 30m, gliding across the swan river like a fast swan.
