    I spent a few hours today at the Royal Adelaide Hospital where Lance Armstrong along with Federal Treasurer, Wayne Swan, SA Premier, Mike Rann, and cancer specialists launched the Australian LIVESTRONG campaign.

    Robbie McEwen won the classic, now named the Cancer Council Classic in a tight contest, just edging out Willem Stroetinga and Graeme Brown. Lance Armstrong featured in his first race since returning to professional racing. Never expected to be a challenger in the fast flat criterium Armstrong finished in the peloton.

    Lance Armstrong arrived last night in Adelaide ahead of his return to professional racing in the Tour Down Under.

    Armstrong faced the media contingent, largely made up of local press before the arrival later in the week of the international and cycling media. Armstrong spoke at length about why he has returned to cycling, specifically to spread awareness of cancer. Armstrong repeated that he felt he was in the best condition he had ever been in January ahead of a season in the saddle.

    I realised that the best thing about a blog is that it can keep something relatively static, like my website, fresh. Only thing is that one needs to make a concerted effort on their blog or it is a blatant advertisement to the passing viewer that it in fact isn’t fresh! And that is what brings me back to wordpress. To keep everyone informed with what’s happening in my world. I last wrote in August, and I’m not going to go back in time to update the past.I spent the last week on the back of a motorbike shooting the Tour Down Under bike race for news wire Agence France-Presse - of which I will write about in a separate post.

     I spent all Tuesday standing outside the Federal Court in Adelaide with quite a press pack patiently waiting for the opportunity to take some photos of either the Australian or Indian cricketers involved with the Harbhajan Singh suspension appeal. I managed to get a few photos at 10.30am and never really shot anything of interest for the rest of the day. But hey, you’ve got to do the hours sometimes. (I might write a post about my opinions on that whole debacle too.)

     I’ll be heading to the Adelaide Showgrounds tomorrow to cover the Big Day Out for WireImage (an entertainment company, now owned by Getty Images.)  That’s stumps for now, I’ll get cracking from now on.

  • About

    Photographer, traveller, journalist, blogger and editor.

    After working as a press photographer in Adelaide, Australia for seven years I packed my things up and travelled around Asia and Europe for six months. After the money ran out I relocated to London, where I became an editor for Getty Images. A couple of years later I've moved to Sydney. It's a beautiful spot, and though Paris is no longer just a couple of hours away it is home for now!
