At Sprout Daily, the mission is simple: to fill your inbox each day with images of liquid perfection, and when Huey’s not up to his best, just bring a smile to your dial with images of all things Manly.

The ‘Seasons’ exhibition is a retrospective exploration of Sprout’s photographic images from 2010…. through the lens of Sprout Daily, observed during the different seasons and moods of Manly’s surfing and seaside lifestyle.

So come along to check out Sprout’s images for opening drinks at The Cartel, or pop in any day during the festival for viewing.

And keep an eye out… highly likely Sprout will be there waiting for you in the line-up in the morning, clicking away….

Take your time and enjoy.
