A story i wrote after one too many Mayhems on old bikes

[Augustus]

Here's a feature I wrote for an American mtb magazine about our own glorious Mayhem and the journey into the heart of darkness and mud that is the longest day each year.

Very good.

Some great pictures, as always.

Can i ask what camera you use, and are the pictures edited or are they composed that way?

I think everything is edited to an extent from photographers. Personally I do very little, usually make them monochrome or crop slightly but think the most important aspect to making a photograph is composition.

At the moment A Nikon D4s, a D5, and an F6. A Bronica SQB, a Yashicamat 124G and a Fuji 6x17. And a little Fuji X100 and Sony RX100.

I think at the time of these Mayhem pics it was a Canon EOS1 D of some era.

I'd love to have an RB MM reunion in 2021.
