    Iconic photos | Art?

    Hi all,

    I am after an iconic Fell running B&W photo / poster? Do any of these exist?

    The theme of my room is white and black...Scandinavian / minimalist.

    I currently have a photo of The Beatles & one of Nick Drake...

    I was wondering if there are any great photos / poster of great runners. e.g. Joss Naylor / Bill Smith.

    Any help would be appreciated...

    Jonathon Trotman did a print of Joss Naylor in flight which adorns my living room but unfortunately not B/W and no longer available.
    If you widen your brief and go for mountain landscapes you may fair better.

    I guess I was thinking something along the lines of this: http://kirklandbooks.com/media/catal.../b0002287a.jpg

    No-one high-profile and just one of our low-key, local, Bowland races; about 4 or 5 years ago Ian Charters took a very iconic black and white photograph of 3 front runners climbing (quite correctly) over a gate ( it is now the boundary between two farms and wired tightly shut ) at the Hodder Valley Show Fell Race.
    IIRC it made the front cover of either the Fell Runner Magazine or the FRA handbook / fixtures diary.
    Ian can be contacted at:-

    Here's the link to the particular photograph:-

    I was a bit of an oddball until I was abducted by aliens; but I'm perfectly OK now!
