The Boat Race 2009
Today is the annual Boat race between Universities of Oxford & Cambridge. I am shooting this from on the water, just behind them.
So, after a mad rush to Putney and a frantic parking of my car, I ran through the relaxed slow walking crowd (who didn't have a care in the bloody world). I was carrying loads of gear, cameras, laptop, long lenses in metal cases, I am sure you can picture it. Anyway, I had a few mins to spare and got to the media check in. I was checked in and almost immediately led out to the bank to board a boat. A minute of so later in came the boat I was allocated a place on. So, on I got and got ready for the start.
