Media Darling...

I was on television on Wednesday night! On a programme with Freddie Flintoff, Ricky Hatton and Piers Morgan. Oh, yes, I was! Ok, truth is ..  Freddie presented it, Piers and Ricky were interviewees .. and I was seen for about 0.0007 of a second in a shot from a cricket match with Freddie last August. Remember this? Amazing, though, the number of people who told me they'd seen me "in action", and rather fortunate that I'd set a timer for the programme as it looked rather interesting.
It was all about depression in sportsmen!

Anyway, my TV appearance came hot on the heels of an interview I gave to the Warrington Guardian, who are hopefully going to run a piece about my Mish Mash show in next week's paper. I'm just waiting for BBC News, Sky and CNN to contact me now and I'll have done the lot.
I might be waiting a while!

In the meantime, I'll get to my side of the camera as I'm shooting a local MP's visit to one of my clients today. I wonder if he'll recognise me off the telly?....

PS: Hope you like my shot of 'Bet Lynch' and 'Annie Walker' .. past stars of Coronation Street seen at a party in Waterstone's in Manchester (Believe it or not..)

'Owzat?...

Vaughan, Flintoff, Fairbrother...not to mention DeFreitas, Muralitharan and Wasim Akram! Cricket's finest came out to play the other day, and I was the official PR photographer, covering the event for the De Vere Hotel group. The 'England Legends' event was a fantastic fund-raiser for research into a rare syndrome which sadly caused the death of a young member of staff at Grappenhall Cricket Club, the venue for the function. Full marks to 'Freddie',  I must say, as he patiently signed autographs, programmes and miniature cricket bats until every one of his adoring fans was happy they had a piece of their hero!
I was then up bright and early next morning to shoot a presentation to a very surprised and happy chap at Manchester Airport, who was named as the 3 millionth EasyJet passenger to pass through the airport,  and was given a year's free flying on the airline as a prize. Back to the office then, and a mere 857 frames to edit!

Now then, back to the subject of Weddings, and I mentioned I was being fitted for a suit! Yes, folks, I'm going to be a guest at a Wedding! How weird is that going to feel? I nipped down to the swanky Groom suit outfitters in Wilmslow, and had my manly chest measured up for a cool .. oops, musn't say, just in case the bride's reading this! Anyway, I must remember to behave myself at the Wedding, and not try to interfere/help/annoy the official photographer! It's not until next May, so I have plenty of time to practice! Eeek!
