Current Projects chat and miscellany

I don't really care where the bike came from originally ... I was making a point ... no more studio shot. It is becoming America's Next Top model on here not about bikes and riding. I keep on seeing almost professional looking pics of a bike, when it is just a bike. This shit ain't fashion for me ... it is a big part of my life and I am fed up of it becoming fashion.

Oh and you can cop out of an argument by saying you don't want to say no more ... that is fine .. but at the end of the day you still copped out.

I have to comment, there are a lot of very creative people that build bikes, that can also mean that you have very useful creative friends...that do a myriad of cool 'shit' like vinyl cutting, sandblasting, welding, painting, upholstery, with access to places like 'studios' that aren't some fucking tiny room with a sink...but actual studios...for taking pictures in...like big empty rooms... that people live in ...

like in the real world...

I'm taking this tone as you took it with someone else...for no apparent reason than appearing to be rude.....

some people...think nothing of spending 'this much' on some wheels...They live in nice places and rather than hang stupid fucking generic Ikea posters on the wall...

they hang bikes...

It is different for some people...

And if you aren't 'having any of it'...

then neither am I.

Cut your fucking whinging for gods sake...? What is wrong with someone thats a pro photo person that happens to be a friend of someone that restores bikes for a living...or all consuming 'hobby'...

They talk, it happens...good pictures are the result...or...have you seen how hard it is to take a bad photo with a 10 million pixel camera? some do...though spend an hour fucking with the settings and you're the next david bailey...(imagine that being said in a michael caine voice and you get the picture...pun intended...wink at the camera...)

appreciate them for being aesthetically pleasing as opposed to lots of fucking horrible snaps of shitty bikes with colour coded tyres, rather this than that...ffs sake anything but a planet filled with pastel bikes with matching tyres...god help us.

Sorry did I come across as rude? It's a big part of lots of peoples lives...though to freak out over a photo that isn't crappy...is beneath you...you are better than that...will you still be riding gears in 10 years...yes...fixed...yes...

so don't stress ok?
