British Cyclo-Cross National Championships 2019
Last weekend, I headed down to the Cyclopark in Gravesend to see the British National Cyclo-cross Championships. These are held annually and the winner gets to wear their national flag on their jersey for a year (unless they go on to win the World Championships of course). The event was taking place at the Cyclopark,…

Late Autumn
I thought I’d try to get my drone up for the dying days of autumn before the leaves have fully gone and the cold settles in. So late afternoon on Saturday I captured some footage over Trent Park. I was pretty satisifed with the results, and because I’m seeing Amiina on Sunday evening, I used…

RideLondon Classique 2018
This last weekend saw a massive collision of all things cycling. It was the final weekend of the Tour de France – fabulously won by Geraint Thomas. That had been pushed back a week to stay clear of the World Cup. Meanwhile it was also the Saturday night of the Dunwich Dynamo, from London Fields…

Empty Essex

Three New Exhibitions
There are some really good exhibitions on at the moment in London. Actually, there are always really good exhibitions on. But over the weekend I went to three new ones, and all three were really good, and well worth visiting in their own rights. I spent a May Sunday visiting the three and using a…

Gursky
In 2011 a record price was set for the sale of a photograph. Rhein II by Andreas Gursky was sold at Christie’s for $4.3m. It was the then highest price paid for a photograph (and likely remains so). Compared to the Leonardo da Vinci Salvador Munci painting that was sold for $450m last year, that’s…

Giro D’Italia – T-Shirt
It has been a while since I screen-printed anything, so with Simon Yates in the Maglia Rosa at the moment, winning today’s stage at the Gran Sasso d’Italia, I made the t-shirt above. I’m reasonably happy with it, and that’s a treated image of Fausto Coppi on the right, the five times winner of the…

Snow and Mist
Snow and Mist from Adam Bowie on Vimeo. The country has been covered with snow for the last week or so, but it’s not straightforward to get some spectacular drone shots because of the weather. Consumer drones aren’t capable of flying while it’s snowing. And you also have to consider wind speed, and there’s been…
