"Cow Town Drive Through"
Sitting in the gallery and the sound of a V8 engine always creates an interest especially when it belongs under the bonnet of a vintage car, three hundred plus cars drove through the sleepy town below is just a small sample of the pilgrimage.

"Just another day at The Box"

With the world's best surfers spending so much time Down Under this year, a session like this was pretty much inevitable. But when photographer Russell Ord was pressed about what made this day at The Box in West Oz unique, he simply replied, "It was just another typical day out there." If a typical day out there means guys like Joel Parkinson and Josh Kerr pulling into overhead barrels over a sharp and shallow reef, then yes, we believe you Mr. Ord. But from where we're sitting the following collection of images are pretty exceptional. (Russell Ord)

Sitting Room Launch Night Goes Off

Posted by Justin Ward on 31 March 2010 | 0 Com

On the 19th March, three hundred people invaded the quiet town of
 Cowaramup for the official launch of Russell Ord's new Gallery,
The Sitting Room. 

The small town generally used as a pit stop for people travelling
South to Margaret River, came to life as crew from all over
West Oz rolled in to admire Ord and several other prominent
 artist and photographers finest creations.
 The white walls of Ord's new gallery and the adjacent
office space were filled with some of the best surf
photography and art my eyes have had the pleasure of viewing.
A top crowd attended the event and everyone was
complimented with a quality range of  beer, Edwards wine, tasty
woodfire pizza and unreal music provided by one of the worlds
best guitarists', Bryan Kellner. Seriously, if you walked away
 from the night without a big grin, you would have to be thinking,
'is there something severely wrong with my head.'

Artists showcased on the night include: Tim Jones, Stu Gibson,
Jamie Scott, Caleb Davenport, Duncan Macfarlane,
Rosco Kermode, Shannon Conway, Amanda Conway,
Rae Threnoworth, Courtenay Grey, Dave Englert and Russell Ord.

If you're passing through Cowaramup, stop off at
The Sitting Room Gallery, Shop 2, 62 Bussell Highway,
Cowaramup, Western Australia.

Welcome To West Oz, Mate

After Western Australia-based photographer Russell Ord began beaming us distorted images from the host of slabs and mutant waves that are popping up all over his zone, we reevaluated our manhood, and figured it was a good idea to get a little insight from all the lunatics involved. Come to find out it's a tight-knit community down there, and for as crazy as their act may be, when you boil it all down, at the heart of it all they're still just surfers ... even if they do have a death wish.
