Carnage Paris - Exhausted participants and friendly volunteers

*Click Here to Enter the Gallery*

“Carnage” is the heart and soul of the Paris Brest Paris. From fatigued participants to friendly volunteers, friends, and family who come together every 4 years to make this event happen. Uninhibited passion for cycling, tradition, and fellow cyclists. An ideology of doing something that most consider to be completely crazy or impossible and making art of it all--in a way that feels somewhat normal, with a smile. Pushing oneself to complete and total exhaustion and then consuming a sports drink, chocolate milk, beer, wine, or high-carb snack to summon enough strength to get back in the saddle and continue on. For me, the meaning of this word, in a PBP sense, renders its own definition which is quite the opposite of the one you might find in a dictionary. While photographing this event from the seat of a motorcycle, every time I witnessed a state of “carnage”, I raised my hands and cheered in victory. Go Carnage!!!

About Payment for Images

To pay for images go to PayPal.com and email funds to gthefish@yahoo.com

This Web site has been built for all of those who participated in the 2007 PBP. Gregg Bleakney and Stephan Schier personally funded 100% of the documentation costs associated with this project. With the exception of the professionally framed prints gallery of this Web site, all other images are offered for download only to friends, family, volunteers, or fans of the event who may print and display images solely for personal use.

The image resolution used in the galleries of this site is high enough for a nice 4" x 6" print. If you want high resolution, larger format prints then please visit the Professional Quality Prints section of this web site for more information on how to make that happen.

We have decided not to charge per image in a traditional commercial format in favor a much more interesting and fun Web 2.0 social experiment. If you want to download images for printing purposes or just simply enjoy the content presented in this Web site, please pay an amount that you feel is a fair exchange.

These are the photos from the Seattle Randonneur's Flickr photo gallery. They have lots of comments and are fun to sort through. Some of Gregg Bleakney's photos are in the set too. However, the download quality is not quite as high as the other galleries on this web-site.
