Just got off a ride this morning and thought what the hell, may as well shoot myself in full riding gear, girls keep your tongues in, I know you can’t resist a man in lycra. Turned on the lights, set the auto timer in the Phase and wasted lots of mega pixels trying to make myself look Kool. Unfortunately I look like a Tool but I am at an age now where I just don’t give a sh1t. I’m thinking now that a gopher isn’t so embarrassing after all. Can’t wait to get one, will have to bomb it with some tunes and a whippy aerial complete with fox tail!
Shot using that cool backlighting technique. Enjoying this work, might have to take the lights into the landscape soon. And mothers if you would like your kids photographed I am happy to do it for $2k a pic. Yes if you are going to make me suffer I want to be compensated for it! Don’t think I will be getting much work!
Notice I cut my guts out of the shot to maintain a G rating! Ok bring on the jokes, I can take it!

The glasses and helmet look really good. Your magazine cover lines remind me about the duck that walked into a pharmacy and asked for a condom. ‘Certainly sir, would you like me to put that on you bill’, the pharmacist asked. “Of course not”, replied the duck, “do you think I’m a dickhead?”
Hahahahahaha Peter! Good one
Looks like a great read! Landscape Photographer of the Year, Magazine Publisher, . . . what next?
obscurity!!! happens to everyone eventually!!
Hahaha that looks mint, is that the actual background or have you shopped that in?
Pete your jokes just keep getting better!
Dropped in Sheldon. It is a building I shot in Perth. Went for the blue steel look!
Love the shot, had a good old chuckle at the catch lines
Will answers be forthcoming in your next blog post?
in the next issue Charlene!
Glad you explained you had just gotten off your bike…I had assumed you walk around in that getup all the time! To impress the ladies of course.
it does feel nice on the skin Tim!!
You’d better not wear any lycra this weekend in Noosa. There may be children and ladies present…
darn it, there goes my big entrance!!!!
Looking cool dude, even with an evil bike helmet. Time to call Cadel and see if there’s any room on his team for some MAMIL power.
Cadel is small time Flemming!
Brave man to wear lycra, braver to be photographed in it! Think you lost the G rating with the steroid headline………so why are you looking down??
Now thats what I call an altered landscape, put some real clothes on before you scare someone.
Bloody good photo though, might have to drag my lights out as well.
Yep your right. If i put something on like that … I’d shoot myself !!!!
Technically it is your gonads that shrink due to steroids, so are you growing peas?
Wow, was in the gallery last week admiring your work and trying to stop my two little kids from “touching”. You were in the gallery at the time and had a sheila filming. No Idea what for, and now after seeing this pic I’m a little worried. Thankfully the lycra wasnt on or at least not visible at the time…
Was too shy to introduce myself, but wanted to say how much I loved your work in anycase.
Now that said….. You have been an inspiration to me up to now, but to find out you wear lycra and enjoy it……I may have to rethink who I look up to now!
Great shot though and I must thank you for the crop, any lower and I may never take my kids back to your shop again through the fear of them seeing a grown man in Lycra.
Next you’ll be shaving your legs…..
Cheers
Garry
MAMIL’s are scary, but RAMIL’s (Retirement Age Men In Lycra) are just hideous…………why do they always turn up en’ mass to put you off your breakfast at a cafe???
That IQ180 is just pure……..pity about the subject matter!!!
And the Tour de Dunsborough is going to be a bunch of RAMILs circling the roundabout in front of CF’s gallery all day long!
Katrina he’s looking down in horror realising the steriods do in fact shrink the penis
perhaps not horror but sadness
There should be a “U” for unnecessary in that acronym.
Hey Christian
“Lights in the landscape” eh?
Thats exactly what I’m doing in Namibia next week…. Just me, my Einstein, and my favorite two modifiers.. my Apollo and my PLM.
