We see Dan on the promenade rain, hail or shine. Usually he is carrying his camera rig and his bike is nearby. He has recently added a leg cast and some crutches (and a small table for support) and replaced the bike with an UBER. Dan had one of those freakish accidents when he was walking over the rocks at the north end at sunset (nothing to do with that banana skin under the bench). He ended up with a broken tibia front and back on the ankle and fractured fibula near the knee.

“I first lived in Bondi Beach in 2011 and one of the event/project managers for the ice rink on the sands of Bondi Beach, which was equally one of the most amazing and challenging projects I’ve been involved in.

In 2016, I was living in California and came back to Australia with the view to saving money for 6 months to go back to America. I house sat in Coogee for 3 months, then moved to Bondi Beach as I was craving a beach with waves and loved my time in Bondi Beach in 2011.

I’ve been a photographer my whole adult life, and 6 years ago I stepped into the ocean for the first time to film the surf, and it changed my life forever.

I film and take photos and video of Bondi Beach lifestyle, sunrise and surf daily under the Instagram moniker of @hotndelicious (a song I wrote 20 years ago whilst living in Dubai), and am in love with the coastal life and the community in Bondi Beach. It’s definitely home for me.

My Instagram handle @hotndelicious 😆😂 I’ve lived in 🇦🇺🇮🇹🇺🇸🇦🇪🇮🇩 and there’s so much more to my life, but it’s where you’ll get to know me a little better, a space for my art and window to my soul. It’s a good staring point.”
