I can't believe I haven't updated this in so long! Been quite busy recently, even though I'm not working this summer. Road racing practically every weekend - the only ones off are the next two, so I'm using one to shoot my first wedding :S and then next weekend off to Knockhill for the BSB. Anyone who's heading up, let me know and we'll hopefully get to say hello.

Bonjour everyone!

Just back from the 24 Heures du Mans, the 24hr bike race, and all I can say is wow! The entire concept of a 24 hour race is so hard to get your head around! A normal BSB or MotoGP is 25 laps - the winning SERT team at Le Mans did 770!

Got some great shots - it's so wierd shooting bikes at dawn, dusk or in the midle of the night! Got a nice gallery to upload over the next few days, and some from the absoultly bonkers campsite too!!

Au revoir!

Well, things in wintry Dundee have been quite quiet since UFC, with not a whole lot photography-wise happening. Although, with hindsight, I suppose more than happens most terms has been going on!

I've been doing a fair bit of sports work, rugby and hockey, and may have secured a job for next term taking photos for the university's sports union, which is relatively awesome!

Got a rugby match tomorrow, which is nothing spectatular, but it means I get to play with my new toy, whcih arrived a month early today... a well-used and battle scarred D2H!! It's ex-Stephen Davison (the bike togs out there may know who he is) and it's a hell of a step up from the D50, especially with it's 8fps, 1/8000 speeds and 11-point autofocus!

In other news, ya'll may have noticed some more modelling stuff appearing in the gallery - I haven't done any since last summer, and when the wonderful Catriona and Nicole emailed me through my account on modelmayhem.com, I couldn't say no! Some more of them to still go online.

That's about it really... next big trip is the Le Mans 24hr race at the end of April, then 2 weeks of uni, home for the North West 200, TT, and the start of a very busy season of bikes!!!

Hey all!

On the train (National Express trains = free wifi!) back from Newcastle (great town for a night out!) after UFC 80. Fight night was excellent, if a bit short on providing for the togs - of the nine bouts, four ended in the first round, and only two went the full distance. But, lots of KOs and lots of striking, so not too bad.

The only real problem I had all night was a (personally) really bad call by the ref to end Colin Robinson's fight at 0.17 of the first round... So not too many shots of Big C in action, which isn't great, seeing as he was the reason I was there!

Newcastle is an awesome town for a night out! Lots of rocking clubs and pubs (Revolution next to the train station do excellent cocktails!) - we ended up in a club called Blu Bamboo on Friday with Michael Bisping, and then the afterparty in the Hilton on Saturday.

Apart from the UFC, not much has been happening photography wise. I've entered a few competitions recently, including the Scottish Press Photography Awards, so we'll see how that goes - I've never entered photography competitions before.

Discovered from my lecturer that we start forensic photography in a month on the course, which I can't wait for!! Should be great, and it's something I'm considering specialising in.
