Horses Vs. Bikes on the polo court

mysteriously lacking are the images of kev wearing pink suede shoes and some kind of ridiculous hat.

ha. i actually forgot to take a picture of the page with the shoes. but ya, i may have censored the ridiculous hat out photo. i’ll post some photos soon on flickr i took the day of.

doug, minor edit: i do not claim copyright cause they’re just photos of photos by julian broad and i think intersection has the copyright on them. and not all the photos are here. if you want to see the real deal, pick up a copy of the most recent Intersection (UK), a magazine founded by Yorgo, who also got bike polo going in Paris/London.

Ok, Thanks. I’ll take that out. and yes I want to get a copy to see the rest of the shoot.
Does that say “harcourt” missing the d?

photos from that day

oops, forgot the link: http://flickr.com/photos/kev_walsh/sets/72157612756793958/

Hey Doug – will post some proper jpgs of the spreads on my blog soon. Will let you know. Shame we couldn’t do this in NYC as we orginally planned to, but thanks for scouting for locations back then.
I’m only half-happy with the shoot. The pics are great, but I wanted:
- a more urban location so the horses look even more out of place
- More natural styling for the bike polo players, not fancy tuxedos and pink loafers…
- More “polo” styling for the horse polo players, super-fancy shit.

But thanks to all involved, the action images look great. We did a movie too, haven’t seen it yet.

Yorgo, Thanks and I’ll be glad to see the link but I did go out and buy a copy for myself. ($5.99US for anyone wanting a copy) and thanks for the credit! I see what you mean about the things you wanted. but I like it as is.
Let’s see that movie.

Hi, don’t know if you guys will ever get to see this post – but anyway. Spotted the spread on http://hollisterhovey.blogspot.com/search?q=polo and thought I’d investigate further. Great photos and great idea. I play polo here in the UK now, but have always wanted to give bike polo a shot (can’t afford a bike). Movie ever come out?
