We're
doing it again! The 2006 SDCC was great fun, great
photography and a test of skill
for photographers and cyclists alike - we decided that it was so
good that we had to do it
again, and so, this time you too can be one of the Official
Photographers to the event.
Remember though, that it raises money for the charity
4Wheels4Sean,
so it is expected
that if you are selling any prints or images that the charity will
benefit.
This
opportunity of a lifetime is open to only four photographers,
and one photographer from the 2006 SDCC is coming again (Yes,
he's hooked) - just three seats left, so
Book Now!
This is
extremely remote travel, so you will be "roughing it" - swags
under the stars; meals when we can get them; nothing too
extravagent; and a distinct lack of showers - you must promise
to pretend that you don't smell anything by the end of it.
