Cycling News Publishes ToS Photos

BlackBird Images photos from the Tour of Shenandoah bike race were published by Cyclingnews.com, the world's most-visited and widely-read bicycle racing website. While our main goal was to help out the Tour of Shenandoah organizers, we're always pleased to be recognized for photographic excellence. Since we were donating our services, our priories were a little different than the other event photographers, though - our goal was to create images that helped showcase the event and the event's sponsors. For instance, take a look at the photo below of Brent Bookwalter, the race winner.


The photo is of Brent's interview with Joe Lemire of Harrisonburg's Daily News-Record. The goal of the photo was to show the media covered the Tour and to highlight key event sponsors like discoverbath.com, the Homestead resort, and of course the Tour of Shenandoah. We were able to place the photo on Cycling News, creating additional exposure for the Tour, its sponsors, and Brent... so everyone wins (including Brent's mother, who called to request a copy.)
