Plume tales

"Among some of my favorite events to cover are ones off the news-beaten path," writes Oli Scarff, a photographer based in Manchester.

"I was very sorry to have shot the last Tough Guy competition recentl," writes Manchester-based photographer Oli Scarff.

"Not only did it make for great pictures, but it was also quite a good time -- it’s amazing how much fun people can have after paying to basically be put through torture."
