TweetI 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 →
TweetLocal 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 →
