I’ve been running a lot. When I run, I think. This often results in falling over, but still, I think and I run. I run and I think. I realised the other day, that when we return to school, it will have been six months. Six months for the smart kids to stay smart. The lazy kids to get lazier. The… Read more →
December in Photos
A total break. Less than 50 photos all month. Barely picked up a camera. Went to Ireland. She got chickenpox. It was nice to get home, then leave. I’m happy to meet friends, but happy I don’t live there. Odd, but real. Read more →
November in Photos
Similar to October. No real aim. Some shots I’d planned to take at a local race. That was about the highlight of the month. Read more →
October in Photos
I shot a lot this month. Enough that I needed to step away from the camera for a while. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy shooting XC races, holidays climbing in Wales, family. It’s that I had lost motivation. Needed to stop looking at the world through a lens for a while. Needed to stop looking. The opposite of what… Read more →
Red Rose Cross Country Race 3: Todmorden (2019)
Local race. For local people. Every year there was a cyclocross race here it was a mudbath, the running version…no different. A great day out. Visually one of the best courses, by far the most entertaining of the year to shoot. Read more →
Red Rose Cross Country Race 2 (2019)
Mudbath through and through. Nothing quite like it when it is utterly soaking for days before then on the day, sunny. Read more →
August in Photos
The summer that never was. Mostly moist. Mostly grey. A shame. A lot of solo climbing. A lot of time fixing things in the house. Few images taken. Read more →
September in Photos
New job. New daily routine. New set of challenges. Photography was not a primary concern of mine last month. But a the few times the cameras came out, they had purpose, which is what I like to do. So not all bad. Read more →
July in Photos
First year of teaching over. A major break needed. 9 weeks off before my new job started. A lot of time to do things. Climbing – home and abroad. Running in the hills. Dressing up with the family. It took a while to wind down from the year, but it was good when I did. Read more →
Red Rose Cross Country Race 1: Leigh (2019)
A few photos from today, the rest are over on Flickr: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmHDUnN8 All from the A7, mostly with the manual Canon 70 – 200mm but a few with the 18mm Sigma lens. It’s really soft, but it opens up some interesting options for what is a boring flat urban race. Doubt I’ll use it at any of the others this… Read more →
