Hi,

I'd like to hear from any cycle couriers who would be interested in a free photo portrait session. I'm planning a personal project where I pull together a selection of portraits of cycle couriers.

If you could send a photo of yourself and let me know when you're available then that would be great. I'll then arrange an informal portrait session with you and afterwards I'll send you a selection of full resolution photos that you can use as you please.

Take care,
Steve.

what's in it for the courier who's giving up their time for you? and what's going to be so unique about your project?

Something like this perhaps? http://www.marcrogoff.com/zoom/couriers.php

Just buy the LCEF calendar, now that's a good project!

Why are you and Steve Showpony wearing radios?

"I thought I might get a slightly less suspicous reception than this!"

we're a suspicious bunch. lisa did her photojournalism MA final on this 'orrible lot and did a fine job of it too, she didn't just proposition online though and even after having met people IRL was treated with a degree of suspicion at first. are you aware of subcultures like bicycle messengers and the risk of mis-representation???

the "so you want to hire a bicycle courier" thread at the top should have some advice for you.

don't mean to sound hostile but no one knows you (to my knowledge at least) or what you intend to achieve from this project...

**having just looked at your site it looks like fairly innocuous fashion pic stuff, reckon i've got potential?



good luck

Sleepy,can I have your ears?

Dear Sleeps...

Don't worry about it darlin', my own small life has also gone completely spastic. Working seven days a week at the mo, having said that, there is hope- it's a dream job. I've finally landed that welder-boatbuilder contract I've been hanging out for for so long. Starting work on building a 23metre thames passenger launch from the keel up. Excited? You knows it, exhausted already? you knows that too.

Anyway, aren't unilocks what happens to hair when you make a habit of falling asleep with your head in a bass-bin?
Big Love, Innit.

The rest of you can have your thread back now....

Indeed I was being a professional pikey for a week, you just wouldn't believe how much cash I was collecting each day on that stuff- particularly the copper. Terrifying pocketing over two grand whilst surrounded by Real Pikeys. And it was soo lovely to bump, not literally, into you Gert and Pornomike. lets say it was a VERY strange experience to be back on London streets after so long, but in a considerably larger vehicle. Learnt the hard way that 3.5 ton trucks won't go round corners so fast, but also that if necessary they will go on the pavement, and you can still take off the odd wing mirror if you're careful.... It's possibly a good thing I was only doing it for one week only.
As for the other thing, I'd better get on and call the lover then, but yeah, see you there for whatever it is. (if it's his birthday I presume he'll be drunk by four, incoherent by five, and wearing his pants on the outside by six. I do hope so)

Loads of love to yez.

Sorry I can't any help of you in this work but I must try for it.
