Holidays!

Off to Macau on Saturday! And I can't wait! I've been looking forward to this trip all year, and even though it's going to financially cripple me, it's gonna be worth it!

Hopefully this year I'll be able to pull back some money, though - think I've got a few well-paying jobs sorted out of it.

Woohoo!

Had some extra money in my PayPal account (UFC wages) and thought, yeah, why not? Still haven't had time to figure out all the changes, but it's worth it for the 120 thumb-searches alone lol!

OK, a lot has happened this week lol...

London was good, although the way things worked out, I didn't get to see much of the town itself, but doesn't matter - got some good touristy shots.

UFC went really well - loads of good stuff, and maybe a little more work out of the weekend (all helps to pay the bills). Had a good conversation with Randy Couture (World Heavyweight Champ), too - and he gave us his pass as a birthday present for our mate!

Paris was excellent - wasn't at all bored being in town on my own for three days. I can only recommend the excellent Fat Tire Bike Tours, who run an excellent free walking tour of the city. Paris is a photographer's dream, and I got a ton of stuff - but I really want to go back with a model to work with....

Now I'm at the Bol d'Or (the 24 hour motorbike endurance race) at Magny Cours, and I am not a happy chappie. The press office is top-notch, but I'm paying for the internet access in it, and the DAMN BRIDGE across the track is locked, so I'm sitting in the press office during the first qualifying session...

Hopefully it will improve! Night practice is later, so I'm looking forward to that. Updates on their way.

Just in from the Ulster Grand Prix - the best race in Ireland!!! The weather all week has been awful, but thankfully we got through most of race day (lost two races), and most importantly, noone was hurt all weekend (apart from some pride!). The photos have turned out awesomely - one in particular is the talk of the paddock - Guy Martin went up the inside of Ian Hutchinson, and Hutchy was none too happy - said Guy was too tight... But my photo sort of proved him wrong!

I'll get a selection uploaded soon.

In other news, just worked out the details this weekend of my latest adventure - the Bol d'Or 24 hour endurance race at Magny Cours next month!!! I'm so excited about the whole prospect of motorbike racing at night! Endurance racing is something I've been planning to tick off my to-do list for a long time, so well pleased. And of course get to cheer for my mates Steve Plater (he's gonna win the title!) and Stephen Thompson (who's making his endurance debut).

I did my first shoot today with a model, the wonderful and beautiful Rachael , around the walls and by the river in Derry. Really pleased with how the stuff turned out - I'll get a few uploaded over the next few days.

Comments and criticisms welcome.
