Let me tell you the problem with Easterly winds. Yours truly here has to cycle eastwards from Worthing to Hove every day and this is nigh on impossible in a 15mph Easterly head-on wind. I got as far as Shoreham once before I admitted defeat and dragged my aching body and bike onto a train for the rest of the journey.

So this is my perfectly good excuse for not having a cycle snap last week because there simply was … no cycling.

Therefore, I will leave you a lovely photo that I took on my journey a while back during the incredibly stormy weather we all had to endure in February. As I was careering forward at 26mph stormy wind on my back, I had to break quite severely to avoid a couple of beach huts on my path! I love these kinds of pics, normal stuff gone a bit weird. Do you have any similar quite comical snaps of ordinary sites? Post please!

If you live on the South Coast or regularly find yourself down there, there is a good chance you’ve seen me whizz past on my Hybrid Apollo during my daily cycle from work in West Worthing to Hove. You really can’t miss me.

No seriously. The combination of high-viz zip-up wind-breaker, sky-blue helmet and sequined disco shoes really makes me rather visible. I know I look like a cycling advert for health and safety, but at least I’m safe and healthy!

On these daily journeys I have seen some interesting sights, and so i thought I would amuse you with photographic bits and bobs from the route on a weekly basis. My first interesting photo is therefore appropriately myself in aforementioned outfit so that you can have a good old laugh at little old me.

As always I’ll have to rely on my impossibly dated camera phone, which brings me to an important question: any small but magnificent digital cameras I should know about? Bearing in mind that I am a girl who doesn’t always take a handbag everywhere (call myself a girl?) and my pockets are always ludicrously small.

Love to hear your camera suggestions/ fashion tips

It was during a conversation about TriggerSnappy in which someone mentioned to me that he was having trouble finding images of certain cars that a light-bulb switched on in my head ( a rare and joyous occasion!) and I almost visibly lit up with the following inspired idea: An image request service on TriggerSnappy!

For designers it means you can ‘order’ exactly the photos you are looking for and for photographers it means the challenge of working to a brief and more importantly, a greater chance of selling your snaps. You might enjoy the challenge of being in competition with other photographers, or it might just help to broaden your subject matter and portfolio…

What do you think? A no brainer? Comments please!
