First Dirt Session Of The New Year!

Finally!

The rain is stopping, sun is coming through the clouds, and the dirt is drying up.
Spring is (almost) in the air. These pictures were taken a few weeks back already, they've been on
my flickr page for some time now, but I hadn't had the time to post them here too, but now here they are, enjoy.

(btw, check back by the end of the week, I've got a nice desktopbackground for March coming up!)

Aaaah, Paris...

From the corner of my street to the very center of Paris is just 340km and 600 metres. That's 211,639 miles. And yet it takes me 22 years before I first set foot on Paris. Every holiday I go on with my parents has led us right past Paris. But then finally, we made it.

Paris.




It was all an idea of my parents, who gave me this trip as a birthdaypresent. I think it was one of the greatest weekends of my life, I recon. Apart from being a beautiful city, and one of Hollywoods favorite abroad locations, it's really and inspiring place for a photographer. With the likes of Henri Cartier-Bresson documenting the city, it only adds to the magic.

Just three days overdue, I think I managed the deadline pretty well this time. Keep in mind I had my last exam only Friday, and me being a terrible procrastinator, and I thing I managed very well!

For this month's background, I had to go back in time a bit, as the sunny weather in the shot will probably tell you. Last July, a group of friends went to go ride in the mountainbike paradise called Les Deux Alpes, in France. This is one of the shots of that trip. I hiked down the entire mountain, stopping at about every 3 turns and at every single jump, to take out my camera and make a few shots. This one I liked best, and I hope you'll like it too, after all you're gonna be staring at it for the next month...




Rider: Wes.
