BÖIKZMÖIND is a 30 minute documentary film about riding fixed gear bikes in beautiful Bristol. The film shows the diverse cross section of riders and asks why ride bikes with no gears in a city full of hills. It also shines a light on the community and camaraderie that comes with the simple joy of riding bicycles.

This is an small excerpt from the finished film, which is now screening all over the world (boikzmoind.com/​#screenings). If there’s not a screening near you then get in touch, more than happy for the film to be seen all over the world!

The DVD version which will be accompanied by a photo book is in the works right now, and you can sign up to register your interest here: boikzmoind.com/​#preorder

The music is ‘Backwell’ by Beak>. All the music in the film is curated by Redg Weeks of Invada Records (invada.co.uk). Invada Records is the Bristol-based label set-up by Portishead’s Geoff Barrow in 2003, serving as a home for a diverse roster of artists from Thought Forms to Gonga.

Inspired by an image I saw on Tumblr yesterday. Maybe there’s a series in it…

Shot on the Canon 550D, hot and sunny weather calls for a BBQ, so that’s exactly what we did!

The first content I can share from the recently acquired Canon 550D. Shot with a Canon 50mm Prime and tweaked in Aperture.  Video will be coming soon! Click the photo to be taken to Michaela’s blog, it’s a damn good read!

Whilst this picture represents the arrival of my new Canon 550D, it also represents the last photo I shall take with my first DSLR, my Nikon D40.  It’s been a short ride with the Nikon, but the growing advances in video DSLR’s was a call I couldn’t ignore, and after much fretting over whether to go for the 550D or the mighty 7D, I decided to side with the former. I’ve only had a night with the Canon so far, and have shot a few bits and pieces in the house, and while I’m not going to posting those shots online, I already love filming with it, and can’t wait to see what I can get out of it in the coming days.  Expect a vimeo upload soon!!
