Image Problem

I appear to have a bit of an image problem, well not me personally but my blog here.

I've recently switched to cargo collective for the layout and hosting of my website and along the way my blog images have been vaporised. Not Cargo's fault I may add, purely down to me. So until I can fix it you're going to have to put up with every one on my pictures looking like a small blue question mark. I'm sure I'll remedy it soon.

Zipp Wheels - art of cycling

Part of an ongoing personal project I'm doing documenting the art of cycling. The craftmanship, design, and finishing on some bike parts often gets overlooked. I've taken it upon myself to photograph some of these pieces and hopefully do justice to the amount of work that went into creating them.

Zipp Wheels are handmade in Speedway Indiana.

NYC trip

I was in New York at the start of last month for a few days of glorious spring weather. I've got a few shots to work on from the trip but in the meantime here are a some I made earlier.


6th Avenue


6th Avenue


A/C


Wooster Street

It's an amazing place, so much to see and do and a real stark contrast from the deserts of Dubai. Hopefully I'll get back there soon for some more shooting and a trip to the hallowed B&H camera shop which was closed the entire time I was there for passover - timing!

Matte Box Experiment

I recently bought a Matte Box for my camera to hold ND filters. I'm really happy with it and was playing around with a wideangle lens on it and came up with this.



I dug the framing it did to the image so I tweaked it a bit in photoshop to give it the lo-fi look. Not the be all and end all of an image but the look is stored in the back of my head somewhere for when I can use it properly.
