As an ex-despatch rider and all that I was thinking you guys in here would like to know that I'm shooting photos for various bike magazines in just over a week on the 2nd Cannonball Bike Run'

The destination is top secret at the moment.

I've got a web page to post a daily edit of photos into this year as last year in was all a bit last minute.

I'll post you the addy as soon as I know me-self!

Official site is http://www.cannonballbikerun.com

That image with the wings on is one of mine, well the photo is. The angel of death part was mac'd up later by a man like our 'Caffine'!

All the little photos dotted around are mine from last year, man the sites got all creative much better than it was!

Should be a fun!

Is he?! Nice one!! :D What sort of work does he do? 8)

I just couldn't get enough work in when I tried to smash down the doors of it, even though I had a few contacts. Lot's of bad luck really!

I did have a bloke getting me Premier League Football passes once via a Communist Publication of alll things! Sadly he was struck down with the big C but made a full recovery.

A friend of mine has a house in the surf community on the Atlantic Side of Southern France and lives there all summer surfing and earning! Oh well, back to the skips in half an hour!! :lol:

My bro does bands glamour and celebs but not as papparazzi. He is a partner in a swanky west end company.He has a contract with that posh hospital where all the celebs have their kids and they take the pics for the families. He is bloody excellent at it I must say- pretty good bass player too and a lovely bloke.

Wow he sounds really cool! 8)

It's a great way to earn if you can keep it all coming in OK. Hmm, perhaps my recent good luck will shine on in photography and I can give up hgv work! Then I'll get fat and lazy!

I used to chase after the ££ in corporate entertainment via motor sport and xtreme sports events as it's a good way to cut your teeth. Lot's of logistics involved though and a lot of snobby sods who waste your time and expence but really good fun, not as much as the commissions though when you get to call all the shots!
