Britain's greatest ever athlete #GraemeObree. What kind of a lunatic would even ride that bike, it's a fucking deathtrap?!

A man with light skin, shaved head, dressed in pinstriped suit, gestures with a hand held vertically in front of his face.

Another favourite image from my 30+ year photographic career. Next in my valedictory miscellany, another portrait. This is Graeme Obree, record-breaking cyclist and inspiration for the film The Flying Scotsman. I think this shot captures a lot of his intensity.
