Richmond Pro Cycling

Another year has come around and Richmond Pro Cycling (RPC) is in full swing. I’ve work with RPC for several years providing commercial photography services.

Recently the cycling team held a fund raiser to introduce the 2010 team and to highlight areas where the team will focus their philanthropic work. A very notable guest, Dwight Jones, Richmond City Mayor joined the event. The mayor was presented with a framed team cycling jersey for his support of RPC’s ongoing work with children in the Richmond area.

Craig Dodson, founder of RPC, asked if I could provide art as a donation for the silent auction at the fund raiser. I am always bouncing ideas around and this was the opportunity to let one of my photography ideas run. I attempted to capture the metallic feel of bicycle components in print media. By taking close in shots and printing on metallic paper the feel of the materials was more pronounced. I am pleased with the results and plan to use this material for other projects. The work was well-received at the fund raiser and my items sold for a handsome price. It was nice to provide the team with resources other than the commercial photography that I donate for use in print media and presentations.
