Issue #95 (June 2010) of Irish Racer Magazine hit the Shop Shelves last weekend in time for the opening race of the Isle of Man TT festival. Hot off the press it includes features on Keith Amor, Tommy Hill a review of the recent North West 200, a preview of the TT etc.
I have Twelve of my images published in the magazine this month including the popular Eye Candy page.
The latest issue of Irish Bike Newspaper is now in the Shops and I have an image of Glenn Irwin published in it to accompany his monthly column.
Glenn Irwin and his sponsor Neill Griffiths of Pro Net safety Services. 1/250th f11
The above published image is just one from a very successful (for both Glenn and myself) shoot that I shot and blogged about back in April. Some other images from the shoot were also published in a recent issue of Irish Racer Magazine and the coverage has helped Glenn to aquire new sponsorship and trade support.
In that blog post back in April I said I would return at a later date to show a few more images from the shoot.

Careva Publishing were responsible for producing this years Race Programme for the 2010 Relentless North West 200 Motorcycle Races.
I was fortunate to have over half a dozen of my images published within the 100 page full Colour Publication.
The March/April issue of Irish Bike Newspaper is now in the shops and I have a few images of mine published in it including one from my recent CW Racing Photoshoot, one of Alan Bonner and another in a feature on Emmet O’Grady.
It feels like ages since the last issue of Irish Racer magazine was published as the staff at Careva Publishing took a well earned Christmas/New Year break.
Today the latest issue of Irish Racer magazine hit the shelves of all good Newsagents and inside its pages are interviews with World Supersport star Eugene Laverty, Road racing legend Ryan Farquhar, Josh Brookes as well as regular monthly columns from World Superbike star Jonathan Rea, Road Racer Guy Martin and of course the ‘Wee Wizard’ Alastair Seeley and Kirk Jamison.
I recently met up with Alastair one bitterly cold day in January and shot some Photographs of him on his new Relentless Suzuki RMZ250 Motocross bike putting in some Winter fitness training. Two images from this session have been published in this issue of Irish Racer magazine along with another eleven of my images getting my Photographic year off to an excellent start.
In the very latest issue (255) of Bikesport News on sale right now, one of my images of Michael ‘Micko’ Sweeney on his R1 Yamaha at the 2009 Killalane Road races has made the front cover. Inside the issue is a full feature on Micko and I have three more images published, all of these images have accidentally been credited to my mate Derek Wilson, no doubt he will give me plenty of stick over that!
This issue also features a 2010 season preview for Irish racing written by Irish Racer magazine’s Roy Harris and it features two more of my images.
The latest issue of Bikesport News has also published my image of Mark Lunney at Mondello Park, to accompany a press release highlighting the fact that the 2009 double Irish Champion has had a sponsor withdraw support for 2010 due to the economic downturn.
Tuesday of this week, there I was sitting bored out of my head and confused/stressed in ‘the day job’ and I got a text message from Stephen Henderson asking me if I would like to join him on a Photo shoot for an upcoming feature in a local magazine. The shoot was that same evening in Lisburn.
Talk about short notice and inconvenience! As usual at this tme of year in Ireland, it was a pissy wet, cold, dark evening and I was sorely tempted to decline the offer, given that it meant driving from my work in Antrim, back home to Portadown to collect my trusty Nikon camera gear only to drive all the way back down the M1 to Lisburn to do a shoot that there was no guarantee of the images being published.
The easy thing to do would be to decline the offer and sit at home with the feet up, but “when the going gets tough the tough get going” right?
So anyway I took up the offer and I got a few nice images from the shoot, now the wait to see if they make the magazine or not.
Blog posts are always better with an image or Two, but I am not permitted to publicly display any of the images until after the magazine has hit the shops, so I guess you the reader will also have to wait a few more days.
As always you can buy images from my extensive photo library by visiting here
The Sunflower Trophy Races have came and gone for another season and in a repeat of last year it was blessed with lovely Autumnal weather for the practice day and plagued by cold, wet weather on race day.
The 58 page souvenir race programme was produced by the Careva publishing team and just like last year I had quite a few of my images published.
The latest issue of Bikesport News has just hit the shelves and I have three of my photographs published in it accompanying a feature on the team that was recently selected to represent Northern Ireland in the upcoming ‘Six Nations’ race at Donnington Park in March.
