Intent
Behind the frame
- What I was trying to do:
- I had been chasing this subject for about 3 years, often seeing him in town on the scooter but being too far away to photograph. This shot came about by chance, he approached me while I was sitting in traffic waiting for the lights to change. By chance my camera was on the passenger seat and I was able to grab it and shoot this single frame before he was gone.
- What worked:
- I hope I managed to press the shutter just at the right moment and captured this older man at full pelt on what should perhaps be a younger man's scooter.
- What I'd do differently:
- This is the kind of shot that cannot easily be re-created. Given more time the shot would have been a photograph of a wall!

Sensational !
Brilliant!
I love how you've captured his sense of conviction - he's all in and no-one is going to stop him!
This made me smile
This is a moment I would put on my wall. This is such an awesome photograph. Every time I come to this month's album I am drawn to your image. Outstanding work.
