My first book!

Right well i thought i would take the leap and make a book...

Its a 35 page small book with 40 of my fav riding images from 2009 in.

Taken from Spain, Austria to all over the UK.

You can buy it on blurb for about £15.

Or if you email me i can send you one for £17 where i just take a smaller cut.

So 35 pages, 40 odd photos, £15, Good quality book, best riding shots of 09.




The first half of the book can be previewed here: http://www.blurb.com/books/1113191

Brendan Fairclough training days...

The first ever Brendan Fairclough training day happened this weekend just gone out at Gawton in Devon. A few issues ranging from transport issues first thing to 4" of snow all made the day "unique" and "memorable" so people said haha

But really a great day for all there, every one was visably faster down the hill by the end of the day...and everyone said they had taken a lot away from it.

Cant put any real good shots up as there are a few mags etc looking at them atm

But here are a few of the people taking part and one of the dog himself by the bbq.

Enjoy, will put more up when i can.

Vw polo

Blog posts here are a tad like UK public transport, nothing for weeks then a flurry of activity.

Going to do a post on how i built my steady cam for shooting films tommorrow so keep an eye out for that. (nothing mad but people are asking)

Anyway went out this evening and got some shots of my mates VW polo.

Hes done a bit to it and it looks alright and he wanted some shots of it, and i wanted to shoot a car.

so we where planning on the moors at sunset but a few things we couldnt change( weather) meant we had to make do with a carpark.

Here they are...



fixxing my first car...

Went down to my mates unit that him and a few of his mates rent to work on there cars.

Hes a bit of a VW geek and as i got a polo last week which needed a new clutch seemed the obvious place to go and get it done.

so went on down and spent half the night fitting (watching him fit it) while i took some snaps.

like how they look sum up the place and how shitty it is haha (no offence jules)

Also this now means im on the road with transport. so can travel...so got a job anywhere in the SW, nay England, call or email via the info on www.jacobgibbins.co.uk on the right hand side.
