Back we got Sam on the back and we’re cruising around London and trying to get some cool street photography but actually it’s all shot with Sam on the back of the bike so that’s the premise I’m going around making up as we go along trying to get cool um shots maybe

Some shots of me maybe some shots of strangers cruising around um and hopefully we get some cool stiffs just sort of made up as to go along yeah well done proud of you I’m going to try and shoot while I’m on the back of a bike we haven’t tried

This yet so it might not work and we’ll see how it goes oh my god that actually looks so good so I’m shooting over the shoulder of Harvey while holding on I mean we’re going to head in towards kind of Central Area nice Porsche it’s pretty sick I mean if I get

Anything decent from this I’m going to be uh pretty surprised bus coming in hello Driver nearly got one I think I got one of the bus driver then which was pretty cool this has got to be the most hectic thing that I’ve ever done on the bike oh God what is my life hey got him that’s L that’s London bunny

Photography can be it’s about just cruising around on a bike having a bit of fun I got you I got you I got you well I can’t change lenses obviously cuz I’m on the back of a bike if I had my 35 to 150 I would put that on and get a really

Compressed shot but can’t do that today I’ve gone with the 1635 because it’s nice and light and portable let’s see if we can Meander through here without knocking anybody over oh look at this ge on the right got to show this Dude thank you thank you thank you it’s hectic there’s people everywhere this is absolutely hectic stay behind this boss what this guy what about this guy I’m going to get this dude looking Cool Saturday evening Sunset we’re hoping there’s going to be a couple of nice cars around we do look a little bit sus cuz I’ve got a camera in my right hand we’ve got three cameras on the bike and we’re all strapped up as if we’re some sort of crazy journalist
