Yes, for the third time of asking, I will be heading out from London on the road to Brighton with the cycling thousands. Not too many days left, but I'm off dairy and won't have a beer until its over. The ride takes place on Sunday 21st June and my start time is 8.30am. Please sponsor me at http://www.justgiving.com/getonthebike raising money for the British Heart Foundation, a great cause - I'm sure you'll agree. I'll post up some photos, and hope to capture a little video. Thank you in advance for you kind support. You might even have noticed the widget on the side of the blog, keeping you up to date with how much I've raised.
I'm very lucky to have found myself working with photographer Jon Snape who has embarked on a project to photograph a series of electricity pylons that thread their way through the Hampshire countryside. I'm going to be making some films for Jon's blog, which he is using as a modern sketchbook, to note ideas, show his inspiration and record his artistic process. Jon's pylon images relate to ideas about landscape and modernism, but also enjoy a range of disparate connections from ancient Egyptian history to Naval Aircraft. He's on a Journey to the Mountain of Light, and I'm joining him along the way. I'll update with some more stills and clips, and keep you informed of developments, there are some lovely ideas in the pipeline, and the project seems to have a life of its own, with Jon leading the way.
