laird387 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Hi, One of the current projects in our digital magazine, is a profusely illustrated photogallery charting the development of the Honda trials models, as seen in the UK. Our archive includes many photographs that have never been published before and we intend to release them for reference purposes in our building 'reference library of offroad sport' as 'ORRe' is frequently described. As an appetiser I am attaching a very small section of a complete offside view of Rob Shepherd on what we believe was his first Honda (there are NO distracting watermarks in the magazine). The photograph was taken by my respected colleague, Barry Robinson. To see the full image - and many, many more, I regret you will have to join the growing throng who waste just £12 a year to become members, with complete free access to every back issue, of the ORRe subscribers. Interested? Just select the ORRe button at the top right of the 'tc' home page and find what you are missing.............

johnnyboxer Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Are the pics the same as Tommy Sandhams book? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 (edited) Are the pics the same as Tommy Sandhams book? Hi, None of the pics were used in my old mate Tommy Sandham's book - the majority of photos in ORRe have NEVER been published before. Incidentally, Tommy left his production editor's desk at TMX very close to the time that I got fed up with writing one thing then seeing it totally changed before it appeared in print by other publishers, and we joined forces to produce my very first published book - and we've been good friends ever since.

metisse Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 If your not interfering with play you cannot be offside, has anybody ever said the Laird is interfering......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I totally agree - I have no idea what prompted me to put 'offside' when I meant 'side-on' - probably my old mate Al Tseimer suggested it..........

cleanorbust Posted January 13, 2016 Report Share Posted January 13, 2016 I refer to the Photographic Imagery laws as relevant to this case, m'lud: "When a photograph is presented of a vehicle in forward motion and said image depicts a view of the left side of the vehicle, that image is deemed to be a nearside view. Wrongful description of that view as being an offside view may attract corrective input from pedants on Trialscentral". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plead guilty - but claim insanity to be considered before sentencing............oh, another mitigating consideration - I will not be able to use the correct full nearside view from in the clink...........
