I didn't set out to be a sports photographer but somehow sport of some form or another accounts for a hefty slice of what I shoot from day to day.
By way of recognition. I am now a member of the national Sports Journalist Association (SJA) and also the international Association Internationale De La Presse Sportive (AIPS). Where you need to prove your income via sports photography coverage.
So to mark this moment. I'm not going to post some images from a big international event or even a national one. Instead I'm sharing a few frames from the recent Kent Cycling Associations annual 12 hour time trial. Which is held locally in and around Ashford and the Romney Marsh. Why am I showing you this I hear you say? I want to demonstrate there is good, watchable and challenging sports just about everywhere. That make good subject matter for any sports photographer.

All the above said and done. I'm now off to cover the end of the Tour of Britain 2013!
