I really like to see my pictures printed, the bigger the better. But are there other ways to display them?
I wanted to look at some of the alternatives. This got me thinking about books. I hoped it would be a good way to bring a selection of my pictures together in one place. I could show them to people just by handing over the book.
There had to be theme, a story. What better than a decade of cycling photography.
Ten years ago I started cycling again after a break that started when I got my first motorbike. No pictures exist from back then. I've made up for it, this time around.
It took some time to go through them all. Almost every ride results in a picture or two and I cycle most weekends. Then I chose the forty that I liked the most. I decided to make two books. The first one contained some specific journeys. London to Paris, the South Downs Way and trips to Brighton. Mostly bike shots. The second book contained more people. I wanted to show the people who have kept me cycling.
I don't expect to sell any books. It's just for me. An indulgence.
I might produce more books. I have so many pictures that aren't viewed very often, even by me.
