This is another photograph taken with an old manual lens (50mm f/1.7). Although the Pentax K-30 supports focus peaking in live view, I yearn for a camera with an electronic view finder that would enable me to see this without using the rear screen which was not practical for this particular shot.
Well, not a lap...but I'm wondering if the Husky mascot was hiding after THIS teabagging incident last year???

Bike racing fan of the 80's was not only about the racing, the innovation around access to watch saw a revolution.
This era of the 80's saw the beginnings of Satellite TV, suddenly access to these races for generality across continents was possible. We were in a world where we could now follow riders, racers across a season, at the time also free.
That is, if you had a satellite dish.
Eurosport, and those early German channels were a great way into the world of Grand Prix, Superbike, Club racing. Following a British rider as said through a season was of course a new luxury.
Up's and downs of a year in racing to view in real time was to me a new exciting innovation in access.
Scotland's Niall Mackenzie timing wise was among those in this new media of satellite tv. Print media readership was still strong, social media was not a thing as now where riders can manage their own content to a degree. With that in mind.
Took it upon myself to file up what was in storage at my once parents house and garage. The T-Shirts I kept going and do pick up occasionally even still now. Old racing T's now a collectable it appears..
Road Racer magazine and RPM issues I have just filed up Mackenzie although do have some other back issues. Birthday cards were designed by Kevin Sheppard, T's Mostly by Mick Fisher. .An assortment of memorabilia from mugs to phone cards.
Reasons for, worked as a photojournalist and researcher, archival. A case of news desk national and, which I still do, 17th Century archives. So kinda what I did and do.
Mackenzie files really are a source file, looking at 80's 90's which was a golden age really racing wise. A personnel project to see in regards of a rider of that time, coverage via publications, where print gives a profile of and the dynamics of that.
After supper my son usually lounges on the love seat watching television and playing a game on his cell phone. Natasha likes to join him for a nap.
Working on batches of lavender strawberries this afternoon, a red plaid on my lap, and all that I needed around me, on my lap too. Candles, Miss Potter sountrack playing at the Ipod, crafting, a rainy cosy day ... I didn't need much more than that to be a happy girl ... (Feb. 10th 2009)
