News update – a busy time! And the courses have completed!

The last few weeks have been fantastic behind the camera!! With weddings near Barnsley and also Warrington (yes I do go outside Cumbria!) and plenty of work for the newspapers I’ve been flat out and thoroughly enjoyed it. Some great freelance work was scarred by the tragic loss of life in the local area and we all pray for their families and friends.

The two digital photography courses have completed now with very happy customers and I’m looking forward to the next ones after the summer holidays. We had fantastic and enthusiastic students enrolled and the course was enjoyed by all – the complaint was that it wasn’t long enough!

Marathon weekend behind the camera

Another fantastic and marathon weekend behind the camera; 2x Cricket matches, Workington Reds playing at home, a charity bed push, soldier returning from Afghanistan, a kids party, stock photos of a trading estate, a ploughing competition, a celebrity chef and finally; Solfest!!

It was quite a challenge this weekend, I was amazingly busy, but I thoroughly enjoyed it and I’m very happy with the results!!

Caught!

Freelancing with the Times & Star newpaper

I’m pleased to announce that I am now freelancing with the Times & Star newspaper.  Owned by the CN Group media company, the Times & Star has coverage from Distington in the south to Aspatria in the north and Keswick to the east.

My first weekend went well, they had me working between a job on Friday, four jobs on Saturday and two on Sunday! Thoroughly enjoyable and good experience.

Met some great people along the way too!

The bands at the Cockermouth Rock Festival were excellent, very very high standards all round. Well done to the stewards, marshals and other officials who did an amazing job!
