round and round...

Towards the final days of our 2015 Euro adventure, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to smash out some fixed revolutions around the London Olympic Velodrome. Though it wasn't my first time riding fixed, it was my first time on the berms and banks. Needless to say, it's initially quite intimidating riding without brakes on angles of around 45 degrees, though by the end of the session I was hooked and keen to have a crack at Eddy Merckx hour mark! Another day perhaps...

Picking up pace...

london legends...

My trip wouldn't have been the same without the ridiculously rad Rees family... They generously let Lucy and I commandeer the loft of their lovely Balham home even though we came and went like gypsies...

It was always a joy to hang with them when we were in town, whether it was park walks, school performances, sharky swimming adventures or just enjoying a meal and a glass of wine together...

London was a whirlwind... But catching up with good friends, over a beer, a meal, a glass of wine, or all of the above, really made the trip worthwhile! Big love to all the peeps who made the time! xxoo

Jakey bear!

Sneaky shot from the hip to avoid the paparazzi tears...

This looks like a good spot...

But i'll bet there's more fun around the corner!

Tea party!

a change of plans...

So my original plan following the Maden/Ramsay wedding was to head off adventuring to The Faroe Islands via Copenhagen for a frosty photographic expedition...

However, after my brother's bucks, a boozy week long road trip, my brother's wedding, two days of travel to Europe, jetlag, hayfever and another fun filled wedding, I was running on empty...

So I decided to instead jet to the familiar town of Kitzbuehel in Tirol to visit some old friends, do some cycling, and generally refresh by breathing in some fresh alpine air... 

Big thanks to Josl and Wirlybird for teeing up my surprise arrival and to two of the finest, Millpop and AMK for the hospitality and golden times... Big love! xxoo

These two... LOVE

ryecroft memories...

Treetop walks, fish and chips by the seaside, and fantastic friends… All fond memories of my time in Ryecroft Manor… I don't care what anyone says, I love south-east London! Our home for the last two years will be sorely missed, especially the people living in it! Onwards to the next adventure... Big love y’all! 

documenting art...

I was approached recently to photograph an upcoming exhibition at FOLD gallery in Clerkenwell in London. It's something I think I'll really miss about the city. Private views strewn throughout the streets of the east end. There's not too many better ways to spend an evening with friends, taking in some creative work with a couple of beers and a bunch of banter...
