Back from the Alps
This is just a quick post to say I am back from the French Alps after a weeks snowboarding in mostly white-out conditions! Not the beautiful blue skies I enjoyed this time last year… I did improve my boarding a lot, but I think skiing is still the best way to keep your equipment out…

RideBMX 122 – Chertsey Jam – Lima
I had a couple photos in this months RideBMX magazine from the Chertsey trails fancy dress jam. Here Lima does a ‘1 footed x-up seat grab’. Try saying that all at once. Lima is way too good, and is probably the most famous person ever to come from Grove/Wantage! I am going snowboarding next week…

Redditch skatepark trip
I went to Redditch skatepark on Saturday, got the camera and flashes out for some pictures with Poll and Local. It’s a really fun skatepark and the moody, cloudy (and very cold!) skies made for some nice backgrounds. I have done a proper write-up with some videos at BlewBMX, so go see that too if…

Yesterday I went on a trip up to London to see some galleries and a day out with the family. Didn’t take many photos, but here are a couple I did take. This second-hand book shop was under one of the bridges on the river Thames. The main thing I went to see in London…

The full moon
After finishing a job last week I noticed how big and bright the moon was, so got out the 70-200mm and put a 1.4x tele-extender on it and this was the result. I had never really looked at the moon in much detail before that, but it is pretty fascinating. For anyone who is interested…

Abi Penhale – Location shoot
Recently Abi and I went and shot some photos for her book, for once the English weather proved to be nice enough that we could shoot out side, in the sun! A rare treat this year… Rather than shoot in the studio got out on location around Oxfordshire. I shot using just a long lens…
