Portraits from Velo-city Global 2012
A follow-up post to my earlier Scenes from Velo-city Global 2012, here is the collection of portraits I shot on location at Vancouver’s Wall Centre between sessions. Many of these images, or alternates thereof, are featured in the Sep/Oct edition of Momentum #58, so I’ve been keeping these close until the issue went live. These 15 people are doing great things in the world of bicycle advocacy, promotion and development around the world. They are among the leading lights in the global effort to elevate the bicycle to it’s preferred status as the perfect urban mode of transportation.
