On Succeeding - Drew Ginn (Mon 18 Jun 2012)
Drew Ginn (*) abstracts the following On Succeeding from yesterday's win (*) in Munich..
To succeed [..] we sort of need to want it less. To care but care less. To push but push less and to create without trying hard.As he indicates ..
.. this sound stupid but its [..] the complete opposite [that] is need[ed] to achieve what's desired.I know exactly what he writes about. It does not make sense, but it does in so many ways.
Drew, good luck to you and your crew for your final preparation and assault on London 2012.

Favourite Photo - Bridge Work - Magdalene Street/Cambridge/UK (Thu 03 Sep 2009)
As mentioned earlier, I very much like the work of Jeffrey Smart. This is another photo that was inspired by his work.
We spent a day in Cambridge (UK) during our Europe 2009 Trip. Traveled by train for the day from London and had a really nice day exploring this historic university city. Was separated from the others for a while and was a little lost, but stumbled across this scene and still had time to capture this photo. Stood back a little and zoomed right in to effectively enlarge the background.
Enjoy the composition and colours (the reds, yellows, oranges, blues and whites) in this one. Also the white arrows on the blue signs work well and are definitely Smart inspired.
Finally, often a photo has something little to find and entertain. In this one I really like the bike (a signature element of the university city) which is elevated and chained to a post on the side wall of the middle of the Bridge (see upper left corner).
