A cold, dark and wet marathon!

Some pics from the London 2008 Flora marathon. I stuck it out shooting in the cold until it started pouring with rain! Must have been pretty hard for the runners (most of whom are still out there - I just heard the Mens race finish on the BBC)

More pics on flickr here -- drop me a flickrmail if you want to buy a copy.
There are a whole lot for sale on dreamstime also.

An Olympic Dissapointment

The Bejing 2008 Torch relay just went through Tower Bridge, so we hustled down to watch it go through. Despite having a really good posse on a traffic island in the middle of the road, there was barely anything to see.

Look closely, and you might spot the torch in a huddle of police.

Loads of police vans and motorbikes, a bizzare parade of buses with people rocking out on them, then 20 mins later the torch came through, but the runner (no idea who he was!) was completely surrounded by about 10 rows of chinese security and Metropolatian police officers (who were shoving spectators off the road).

Pretty weird! Only saw a few people protesting, and they were pretty quiet.


This lady was having a rather animated discussion with a Chinese guy next to her, but nothing out of hand.
