Quick head up on these guys, been trying to shoot them for a while but to no avail.

Thanks to Charlie and the rest of the crew for their patience and we hope to have those elusive shots sorted soon as.

Big thanks to Ben for letting us come down and follow him on a beautiful(hot) tuesday morning, sure there will be some nice shots there and look forward to heading back soon to continue.

Also, thanks to Ed who turned up and also the 2 rats that were feasting on some fine ‘favorit’ Chicken in the bins…

Serpentine Swimming Club

Another early morning at the Serpentine brings us some great photographs and a chance to meet with a mixed bunch of people from 8 to 80. We’ve been out shooting some portraits on the 10/8 and Chris and I were getting a few background shots for the blog.

Had a chance to speak to a couple of the swimmers which was really interesting and enlightening – always a new snippet of information everytime we go back which is great.

From the Serpentine Swimming Club Website

The Serpentine Lake is situated in London’s Hyde Park. The club has its own changing facilities and is allowed to swim in the lake in the mornings during certain hours. If you are interested in joining the club come down and have a chat with some of the swimmers at 8am on any Saturday.

We swim all year round, and large numbers are to be found swimming in the famous “Peter Pan Christmas Day Race”. The temperature can get to a tropical 70^oF in the heat of Summer and go down to freezing in Winter. When the lake is frozen the swimmers break a hole in the ice to enable them to get their morning constitutional swim.

Well, this is where we started, Kennington Park, home of Kennington Cricket Club, the last surviving cricket club in Lambeth.

This park, the guys training, playing and watching have been a great inspiration for us, and the perfect place to start with this project that is taking us to all 4 corners of our fair city to meet such a diverse range of people playing different sports and surrounded by the many beautiful, gritty, urban, tranquil places.

This journal is going to help people see behind the scenes of the project, and hopefully gain a better understanding of everyone involved.

Visit the introduction page for a brief synopsis of the project and be sure to check back as we will be regularly updating the Journal with more images and snippets.

Cheers

Matt Cottis
