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 →

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 →

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 →

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 →

It started off cool enough to be able to climb well on grit. Rained a lot. Then got warm. It’s been a very odd summer so far. Read more →
