    When Team Cars Had Class

    In a time where style, class and character were in abundance, Bill Woodul captured these images of the Pro team cars, wagons and vans in the mid to late seventies. Opel, Peugeot, Citroen, Mercedes, Fiat and BMW and the iconic Merckx Volvo. Pure class without a mega-bus in sight. Hand-painted sponsorship decals by craftsmen with…

    Crazy Nick: A Story Told in Polaroid

    The digital camera has made everyone a photographer. I’m not entirely convinced that’s a good thing, going by the over-saturation of phone shots we are bombarded with (and feel compelled to keep up with) every fucking day of our lives. There are still artists out there, but some only think they are. Some stay true…

    Shot: Moving Targets

    Shooting bicycle racing––or any moving subject––isn’t always easy, but if you are also in motion at the time it becomes a throw of the dice as to whether there will be any results from the flurry of shutter activity. Throw in a dirty windscreen and 15 or more cars between you and the action and…

    Squids And Skids

    With both subject riders DNFing out of the Whistler EWS, the latest On Track could have been pretty barren viewing. By focussing on the brat pack of photographers who roam the circuit and go by the self-styled ‘Squid’ moniker, what we get instead is one of the most entertaining vlogs yet. It’s worth it just…

    Shot: The Learning Curve

    Although I take photographs, I don’t consider myself a photographer. So when I got the opportunity to do a story on a Singletrack Colorado tour back in 2013, I was more than a bit sceptical as to what imagery I could come up with using my limited knowledge and camera operating skills. I was given…

    Le Analog Tour

    Combining elements of bicycle racing at the pinnacle of the sport and the roadside personalities who help make the spectacle with black and white photography is a formula that just can’t fail to inspire and entertain. ‘ALLEZ LE TOUR!’ is a photo series shot on traditional black and white film by Nicola Mesken, a German…

    Lighting the Trails

      Sometimes it takes a creative eye to show us a new perspective on our favourite trails. Photographer and mountain biker Matt Paterson has been shooting some great long exposure compositions of Wellington’s classics in his new series “Lighting the Trails“. As winter settles in and the nights get longer, we’re looking forward to more…

    Hoshi Yoshida, No EXIF And The Leica M6

    The qualities of black and white 35mm film are like that of a fine steel frame; they are timeless, and while digital and carbon are now the preferred options for shooting and pedalling, there are still those who can not only appreciate the aesthetic, but also the results. And then there are those who eschew…
