The Bone Shaker Photo

Photographer’s Note

Old bicycles are not a hobby of mine but it was interesting poking around these old bikes on display at a small bicycle museum in Walton Gardens near Warrington.

This bike, known as a bone shaker due to it's solid wooden wheels and hard tyres was one of many on display.

If you are interested in old bicycles I would recommend this place. It's free to look around and the guy running it is friendly and helpful. He even has a Sinclair C5, remember those?!?

hi John

interesting point of view and perspective. nice light and I like that depth of field. really good b&w and just a typical shot during the visit in museum or similar places.

This is one of my favorites that I have seen of yours. Of course, your portrait work is my all time favorite still, but this is wonderful.

The texture is delicious and the DOF is magic. It's a little frightening and humorous at the same time. The subjects era falls just outside the real memories of any contemporaries. That fact gives it a suspicious undercurrent of not truly knowing the reality of it's era. Loved it. Thank you.
