I ride with Pipe almost every day so it’s really good to see him getting sponsered. Stolen Bikes recently hooked him up on their team and he is currently in Las Vegas helping out at Interbike! I shot these two photos at the local trails. They form the opening 2 pages of the 2009 catalog, stoked!

Website designed for singer and songwriter Anthony Whitehead from Brighton. Based on a ‘note book’ theme, to look like the pages of his note books in which he writes songs. Anthony is able to upload and change the content through WordPress CMS (Content Management System).

The photographs were also taken by me and styled to look like Polaroid photographs in his notebook.

I hope to do some more photos with Sam soon!

Mark Mulville is an amazing rider who was over in the UK on the Deluxe BMX  trails road trip. He came to the woods for a day and ripped it up!

I spent about an hour wading around with a tripod in knee deep water to get the shot. Quite a few people were watching me from the beach but I didn’t think much of it until I got out of the water. Someone then pointed out the sign warning of crocodiles living in the water. Luckily nothing took a fancy to my legs but it gave me quite a stir!

The following day we went on a crocodile spotting tour and came across this lovely fellow. He was about 6 foot in length, but pretty passive at this time of year as the water is cold for them. I learned quite a few interesting facts about Crocodile that day, here are some of them:

• Male crocodiles never stop growing! They can live to over 100 years old…
• During the mating season male crocodiles vibrate their backs so fast that it boils the water above them
• Males have also been known to eat females instead of mating with them
• Females keep their eggs warm by building a nest which rots and produces heat. This has to be controlled within a few degrees or the eggs will die
• They can slow their heart rate down to a few beats per minute, cutting off blood to everywhere but their brain and sensory functions

It was a good tour and amazing to see them in their natural enviorment. They have remained essentially un-changed since the dinosaurs walked the earth!
