These Shots were made for Pinkstones Toyota in Stoke. Toyota supported our charity bike ride from John O' Groats to Lands' End.  They lent us a super Proace van which did 2224 miles from end to end -by the time we had ferried everything about and made lots of tea for the bikers. The boys clocked up 995 miles (counting a few wrong turns here and there).

The images are a mix of promotional shots for Toyota and sniped shots in mirrors and windows- the shots through the mirror were to record what I could see from the van in different locations- similar to the inspirational work of Lee Friedlander who often used a mirror to record his environment.

I prefer the photo snipes (underneath), as they have a unpredictable, candid, Forrest Gump quality- as you never know what you're going to get.  All shots were taken on 1/4000 f1.8 (100 ISO). I didnt have time to look and focus- so I relied on high speed to do the job- (from the lens- not the van :-)-thanks canon 50mm )- Most of the shots were either taken in the wing mirror of the van or from the side window

Thanks for looking...
