Brian Robinson, Gordon Smiley and Robin Smith


David Kennedy, Giacomo Agostini and the late Gordon Smiley.

Wonderful, Alan.

Gordon was a friend and writing mentor of mine when I was a kid. It's still hard to see these but I love them just the same.

Thank You.

Julian I think you must have been standing right next to me!

Over the years, I've seen many instances of "must have been standing right next to me" on the fora I frequent, and while it's often close, your example is just uncanny.

Same angle, same millisecond - the only difference is I used a 300mm and it looks like you used a 200mm ?

Made me smile, thank you.

Yes I get that quite a lot as well. I've seen a few other people posting pictures here who seem to have been inadvertantly following me around back in the day. Yours is definitely the closest one though (I think mine is maybe a millisecond ahead of yours ). 135mm lens in my case I think.

That's what I was guessing.


BTW, you are missed on the photo threads, Julian.
