Hi Sonny,

I wondered about colour...but my natural inclination is to work in B&W.
Colour would have been good I guess because of the colourful bikes and
equipment.  I'm not sure how colour film would have coped with the mixed
fluorescent and daylight though.

All of the subjects were reluctant and I'm very grateful to them for putting
up with me.  I wanted a 'serious' look to the shots of Graham which is what
I got.  Perhaps some 'smileys' would have been a good idea too.

I hadn't notice the unkenny resemblance - will print this off and use as
ammo against Roger :-)


Regards



Mark
