One wallpaper and 2 interviews. All at once. Say hello to how second wallpaper collaboration project with WA photographer Chris Gurney. We worked with Chris a little while ago on this collab and it was time for a new collab. This time Chris had a sick shot of dropkneer Liam O’Keefe in the pit and the choice for a cool DK wallpaper was made easy ! We also interviewed Liam O’Keefe and Chris Gurney to make that wallpaper collab more interesting to you readers and learn more about Liam, Chris and the shot we used for those wallpapers.
The SPONGERCITY™ x Chris Gurney Wallpaper Co-Lab – Second Edition
We’ve included 10 different sizes for all computer screens, from 1920px wide to 800px wide, and have a choice between WIDE or 4:3 size resolution. Check at the bottom of the list the iPhone / iPodTouch special size. We designed it taking into account the iPhone interface to make sure the wallpaper is gonna look sick and won’t mess with the rest of the iPhone user interface like Time/Date and Unlock buttons.

LIAM O’KEEFE INTERVIEW
Can you introduce yourself ? Age ? Home town ?
Hello, my name is Liam O’Keefe. I am 17 years old and live in Perth Western Australia.
What’s your home spot ?
Trigg point. This wave can have a fun sucky left inside. However, the point is often overrun with surfers.
Do you only DK ?

Say hello to how second wallpaper collaboration project ! After our collaboration with VS™ Boards and Dan Sivess a few month ago we’ve decided to work with a photographer this time to bring you another cool wallpaper. And here you go:
The SPONGERCITY™ x Chris Gurney Wallpaper Co-Lab
We’ve used a sick water shot of young rider James Nymeyer by West Oz photographer Chris Gurney. Perfect water angle, perfect timing, and most beautiful set up and colors you could ask for a desktop or iPhone wallpaper ! Feels like you’re getting barrelled while seated in front of your computer !
We’ve included 10 different sizes for all computer screens, from 1920px wide to 800px wide, and have a choice between WIDE or 4:3 size resolution.

We’ve even interviewed Chris Gurney while working with him on this Wallpaper Co-Lab project just because it was cool to do so:
Hi Chris howdy ?
Hey Theo, pretty good, thanks for the interview.
Can you introduce yourself ?
i’m Chris, i’m 18 and i live in Perth, West Australia, and its pretty boring most of the time but its not too far to drive from here to get good waves.
How long have you been shooting pictures and how did you start ?
Probably about 4 years or so now and I’ve only just started shooting in the water. I just started taking photos before or after i’d go for a surf kind of thing, then i got injured and because i couldn’t surf for a month or so i took photos and it sort of grew from there. When i was younger i was also always interested in cameras and photography.
Are there any subjects or angles or places you like to shoot more ?
In terms of subjects, i’d like to shoot Ryan Hardy more haha! I’m still yet to see the guy surf in real life so i’m pretty deprived there. As for angles, i’d love to shoot more fisheye stuff in better waves.
Do you shoot mostly action shots or also lifestyle stuff ?
Both, but recently i’ve shot a lot more ‘lifestyle’ stuff because i flooded my waterhousing a few weeks back and lost my fisheye and camera body.
Land shots or water shots, what do like better ?
I guess it depends on the conditions and stuff, like you’d rather see a fisheye shot of someone pulling into a closeout than a land shot of it. I think its more rewarding to get a good shot in the water and it’s probably more fun shooting out there too.
Can you tell us more about that James Nymeyer shot on the Co-Lab Wallpaper you just released with Spongercity ?
Well that is from a little trip that we did down to Margaret River when James and his mate came over from the east coast (of Aust.) and stayed with me. The waves were pretty small the whole time we went down there but we found this one perfect little rip bank and shot out there for a bit, and that is one of the shots from that surf.
Who do you look up to for inspiration or for his/her work in photography?
Alex Turoy would be the main guy I reckon. Right now in particular he is getting tones of shots run and doing really well which is good to see. Apart from him theres a lot of other guys, I like Jeremy Grieve, Peter Quinn and Paul Natale’s shots a lot as well.
What’s coming next ? Any trips ?
I’m working a fair bit at the moment trying to save up some cash so hopefully I’ll be able to do a few trips soon, Hawaii next season is definetly something I want to do as well.
Thanx Chris.
