England cricket
The recent ODI at The emirates Durham ICG gave me my first real taste of international cricket, It was a great experience and the Press team from the ECB really looked after all of the photographers very well, in fact many sports could learn much about PR by watching how they do things. England had a horror of a day but I must have been doing something right as I was published in the Daily telegraph, Daily mail, Mail online and the Daily mirror, take a look through my updated sports gallery for some of the results.

Red wings
While certain sections of society have to go through the same daily routine, I find myself thanking a greater being for allowing me to work at this profession. The Gateshead Post, a newspaper long since closed down by accountants who said it wasn't profitable enough, gave me a grounding in my chosen career and from then to now every day has been different. I feel very lucky to have experienced the thrills and emotions that come with doing a job like this, meeting people along the way who shape your life and give you the benefit of their knowledge. As I progress with this website I hope to use this blog area to share some of those emotions and funny stories as they unfold. The image attached here of the Gateshead Angel is a picture I took after a pre-season reserve game at Gateshead stadium where NUFC traditionally take on Gateshead FC, the light started to come in as the game came to an end, so after quickly editing some action pictures for my colleagues I rushed to the Angel where I was duly rewarded with some staggering red skies.
