NOTE... I am constantly looking for even more inspiration in fashion, art and concepts to stimulate my interest and by virtue of that, I study, collect compilations of fashion, art and editorial images that are not owned by me and nor were reproduced by me.

EXTREME SELFIE FAIL NO 134

Me out for a mountain bike ride in the Brecon Beacons, dressed for the sort of weather that makes sensible people stay indoors.

I caught sight of this selfie afterwards and realised I looked less like a cheerful mountain biker and more like I’d been sent on a highly secret mission.

A couple of hikers gave me a second glance, so I can only assume they thought they’d stumbled across a lone member of Bin Laden’s SEAL Team Six—though I suspect my mission was simply to find the next bit of downhill and avoid getting lost on the way back to the car.

REMEMBERING MY GOOD FRIEND ROB PARKER - CAVE DIVER TODAY ( DIED - 17th AUGUST 1997 )

Today marks the anniversary of the passing of my close friend, Rob Parker — a name many will recognise in the world of cave diving, caving and extreme climbing.

Rob was a pioneer, always pushing the boundaries of what was thought possible, exploring new depths and forging routes where few dared to go. His courage, determination, and athleticism made him a legend within the caving and diving communities worldwide

But to me, Rob was much more than the fearless explorer people read about. I knew him as a true personal friend — someone who, away from the cave diving media glare, could share his quiet sensitivity, his humour, and the more intimate corners of his life.

We climbed together, we caved together, and often we simply talked. He was a source of support to me and to many others, generous with his time, advice, and encouragement.

Although I didnt dwell in the Pantheon pf cave diving I have many happy memories of photographing Rob's extreme climbing exploits and lesser notable cave dives

Today carries a heavy sadness. I hold close those memories of a remarkable friend behind the legend.

Rob’s legacy lives not only in the caves and climbs he discovered, but in the lives he touched with his warmth and friendship. I will always remember him as the fit, bright, and brave young man who inspired me — and continues to inspire so many — to go a little further, to look a little deeper, and to cherish the bonds we make along the way.

Rest easy, Rob. You are missed, but never forgotten
