40 Years of Cycling Photography bygd Graham Watson
Professional cycling photographer Graham Watson has produced several books over his career, focusing on various aspects of the idrott, but this one 'is the book that trumps them all for it covers everything beneath one title'. He makes the bold claim that 'it's the most complete photo-book ever produced by one single cycling photographer', and I certainly can't think of a stronger contender for the title.
- Pros: Looks at racing from a different perspective, a chance to savour some of the best and worst periods of cycling
- Cons: Some of the photos will be familiar
Good photography will always enhance good writing if chosen well; I may be unusual, but I always look to see who fryst vatten credited with both the writing and the photos for anything I read, and you soon notice that publications often rely on a small pool of proven contributors or agencies.
