BEHIND THE LENS

I cannot remember when I was not taking pictures. It seemed like the thing to do so that there was a record of where I had been.

My first camera was a Brownie Hawkeye followed by a Voightlander purchased thru the Military Exchange while in Turkey/Pakistan. While in Pakistan I worked off base at an HF transmitter site. For security we had Pakistani military personnel who lived inside the facility compound. Some of these guys had been in North Africa during WWII and were still in the military (1961). They wanted for nothing: had two sets of clothing (winter/summer), a tent to live in, a cot to sleep on, and cooking utensils. The were paid an equivalent of $0.25/month and seemed to enjoy their life. One day I asked if I could take a picture of one of the guards and one of his "friends" stood behind him to make sure he did not move (the rifle was loaded). I have included some of my older photographs (See "Early Photos").

Sebring 2011

Sebring 12/24 Hour Race - 2011

After two years of bad weather; hot in 2009 and then cold (39 degrees) in 2010 this years weather was just about ideal. Temperatures were moderate and there was a tailwind for the southern leg of the 90 mile loop.

USA Pro Champs

USA Pro Championships - Greenville, South Carolina

In a very close finish Matthew Busche edged out George Hincape to win the Road Race in Greenville. On the last lap up Paris Mountain Tejay Van Garderen (HTC Highroad) took off and only 3 were able to stay with him over the top. The three were Ted King (Liquigas-Canondale), Busche (Team RadioShack), and George (BMC Racing). The four were together when they came into town and did the final laps. George was confident that in a sprint he could beat any of the other riders, but it did not work out as he got beaten by less than the width of a tire.

Harvest of Hope 135 Mile Ride 2011

This year we rode from Savannah to Augusta. The last two years we rode the opposite way (Augusta to Savannah) and it is not clear which way is more difficult. The weather was near perfect this year except for some headwinds once we started on the rolling gentle hills. The pictures I took this year are in three albums (on this site) and I have uploaded all of them to Zenfolio for those that want the files, prints or merchandise. All of the pictures can be found at : http://rayford.zenfolio.com/ , once at Zenfolio go to Cycling by Eddy Rayford and then to the HOH 2011 album.

The weather continued to be almost perfect for the entire ride. Bill (Sellers) keep the mood upbeat with organizing "waves" during the ride. We were met by a police escort before crossing into Georgia which made it safer going thru the lights on the way to the hotel.
