Helen Barnes is an international slalom canoeist aiming to represent Eire in the 2012 Olympics. Last year she contacted me to shoot some portrait and slalom shots for her website and then on the 24th of June this year I was invited along to Helen’s world record breaking attempt at 100 rolls without at paddle, which took place at the David Lloyd Centre in West Bridgford. Helen achieved the record and now features in the Guinness Book of Records. It was a great day with Trent FM radio presenters Twiggy and Emma providing the commentary and local school children, from the three schools where Helen regularly teaches, shouting their support. Musician Alex Chapman provided a brilliant mix of acoustic pop and folk songs (www.alexchapman.co.uk) On the same day Sytner of Nottingham presented Helen with a fab pink Mini. Lucky thing. www.helsbarnes.co.uk
