On Passion, Committment, Control and Ability - The Gerro Factor - The Advertiser / Reece Homfray (Wed 03 Jul 2013)

Joanne and Jenny – 2004 IDBF Worlds 500m Premier Mixed Podium - Qingpu / Shanghai (Fri 22 Oct 2004)

Dave Sanders (*) talks about Simon Gerrans (*) and the The Gerro Factor where words like passion (*), committment (*), control (*) and ability (*) are used:
If you’ve got that passion and commitment – we now call it the Gerro Factor – if a kid’s got the Gerro Factor he’ll get somewhere.
Dave expands:
Simon doesn’t have to be gifted to do what he does, he just does everything he can control to the best of his ability. Which is train right, eat right, sleep right, recover right - they’re the things he can control.
via Simon Gerrans' coach tells of how Tour de France leader's amazing work ethic led to yellow jersey (*) by Reece Homfray (*).

Four years ago just now. We remember you, Jenny (*). You are always there for us as you guide and inspire us from above.

Tree - Dianshanhu / Qingpu / Shanghai (Sat 23 Oct 2004)

Tree - Dianshanhu / Qingpu / Shanghai (Sat 23 Oct 2004)

Remember shooting this with my new Canon 300D DSLR on a tripod. I like the apparent isolation of the tree and some of the leaves on the tree that are blurred from the movement caused by a strong wind. A closer inspection of the sky reveals a number of stars. Looks great printed about A3 size. Lots of intricate detail which I like to have in a photo.
