Het Nieuwsblad & Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne slideshow

Here's a video slideshow of all the shots from my weekend in Belgium at the end of February, shooting the opening races of the pro road season. These images are in the current issue (May 2011) of Cycle Sport.

Jewish Museum, Berlin

The Jewish Museum in Berlin was pretty haunting — probably no surprises there. The root that sinister feeling was surprising though, as it came almost entirely from the architecture. I don't really know anything about architecture — what's good or bad — but it certainly left an impression on me, so good or bad, it was effective.

Berlin

Sun in Berlin, originally uploaded by Andy Waterman.

I'm in Berlin at the moment, just hanging out with my girlfriend, my Bronica and my phone. It's been a fun few days, especially as the sun has been out the whole time. Few cities rival Berlin when the sun shines. Makes me want move here (gizza job).
More pics to follow when I get my film dev'd.

Today was one of those days where you can't believe how lucky you are to be an mtb'er: where the trails are dusty, the corners come at perfect intervals, the sun's warm and the company makes even the dull bits of the ride fly by.
What a brilliant day.
The Quantock Hills have a new fan.

Blossom

Working in London today. Beautiful morning, wish I wasn't full of a cold and could go out riding.

Back on the road

I did a big ride today, 4hrs+ across London and out into Essex. It's the first proper ride I've done in three weeks so it was hard work, but no pain, no gain.
The rest of the Vicious Velo mob were racing at Hog Hill in the afternoon, so I finished my ride there to watch and got a lift home after the race (I needed it).
Both the Vicious boys sucked, but they got round.
It was a good opportunity for me to play a bit more with Vignette for Android. Still like it, but the shutter lag makes life very difficult when it comes to capturing anything that's moving.

Photoshooting with Roo

MBR shoot with Roo Fowler - check his stuff at rupertfowler.co.uk, he's good.
