I was able to capture this photo while we were shooting a video documenting the fixed gear cycling community in Rotterdam. I was driving the camera operator on the back of my scooter so it was quite hard for me to find the time to get a camera out of my bag and shoot something.
Luckily enough i was able to capture this scene of the riders taking a break at the end of a fog filled shipping dock, under a lantern.
It's certeinly my second favourite image from that day, and a great addition to my project documenting this community, "Stuck in a single gear".
