The day that Jim broke my camera

One day, Jim decided to document his bike ride to work.

Safety first! Jim always (mostly) wears his flourescent vest and mostly (sometimes) remembers his helmet. He forgot his helmet in this picture.


He flies down Rosslyn Hill at top speed (coming back up is another story):


In Camden, he hops onto the canal path. The sun shines off of the canal. It's way too early for much to be happening in London.


Through a tunnel (cool picture, Jim!)

And into Islington and beyond.

Every day he sees this guy fishing.


First catch of the day-- a 3 foot pike! (he throws them back)


The canal path continues through Hackney.


He knows he's getting close to work when it starts to look like this:


But then...Victoria Park!


And...CRACK. Somehow, just as he is arriving at the office, he loses his grip and the camera falls, in slow motion, to the ground. It looks ok! Let the picture taking continue!

Errr...


That night he sheepishly handed me my brand new camera:
