Argus Cycle Tour, with a fairy!

Nick — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 12:05:59 +0000

This morning was the annual Argus Cycle Tour, apparently the world’s largest timed cycling event, with 35,000 competitors. I was entered in the veterans 40-49 racing group, but random illness at the end of the week made me reconsider actually racing the event. Instead I decided to join my mate Pieter and capture a few shots of him as he competed wearing a pink fairy outfit. His strange dress decision was the result of losing a bet and getting some charity fund-raising going.

Pretty in pink

There was a lot of press for the event this year, mainly because Lance Armstrong was in Cape Town doing fund-raising work, and also racing in the pro-race. I think Pieter’s outfit got as much attention as Lance. Almost every spectator we passed had something to say. He was called everything from the tooth fairy to a pink elephant.

Lance who?

All the girls loved pink. Here Pieter is accosting some young promo girls.

Mmm, can I take you home?

In Noordhoek we spotted someone that had their coffee machine wired up next to the road. So of course we invited ourselves for a round of cappucinos.

Coffee!!

A great way to spend the Argus. I think next year I’ll also be dressing up. Any suggestions for costumes?

Unusual perspective on an odd couple.

Day 69

Amazing morning in Khayelitsha. As part of our photo-documentary course, we spent a few hours in the streets. We also visited several of the patients looked after by an NGO home-care program.

Very hard to choose a pic for today – I’ve got a surprising number of nice ones from the point & shoot. My b+w film is at the lab getting processed, and I also shot a few frames on someone’s Lomo.

Day 48

Today I went out to Hout Bay to take some pics with a few others from the Cape Town Photography Meetup. It was cold and windy and we shot some portraits, playing with different reflectors, diffusers and off-camera flash. We had coffee afterwards and before heading back to the car I spotted these 2 crazies selling soap. They were singing songs and talking in sync. It was like some pink aliens had landed at the harbour. I couldn’t frame the image properly because I was laughing too much.

I’ll post some pics from the actual shoot later.
