About Me

My photo
Flint, North Wales, United Kingdom
The business of photography has become tougher every year and this is not just down to the financial crisis. Everyone now considers themselves a photographer, even though they have no idea of the market they are dabbling in. This has destroyed business for the professionals and many can not survive and make an honest living. I have reverted to taking images for myself only and have to tend to a day job in order to continue my photography. This is the space I share my images, gripes and experiences.

DFS Cruft 2011

Its the time of the year again to make the annual pilgrimage to Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre for the UK's biggest Dog Show. I haven't managed to visit this event for two years running due to assignments in sandier climates.
In this space I will be reporting directly from the venue's press centre.
At this point I would like to thank the staff of the Kennel Club for their immense efforts in preparing for members of the international press to make this event as productive as possible.

The day started early for me, having to leave home at 0430hrs this morning. Luckily the M6 was clear and I got there in good time. Meeting friends and acquaintances in the dog world again was a must before getting 'down and dirty'

Worst case scenario: losing my locker key to the storage box that secured my camera kit.
Guess what?
I lost it...or more to the point, I locked the door and left the key in the lock!!!
BAD, BAD MISTAKE!

Luckily a member of the security staff recovered it before my kit was nicked!!!
Grateful thanks go out to the kind and honest man who literally saved my life.

Now I have to wear a chain around my neck with a teddy bear attached to it signifying that I am a LOSER!!! (A key loser that is!)

Images to follow, covering the main events' activities.
