Legendary BBC Sports commentator , Barry Davies ( front left ) and Dave Faulkner ( front right ) former GB international and Olympic Gold Medalist and now performance director at England Hockey. One of many shots from the recent Reunion celebration I was commissioned to cover at the wonderful Brooklands Hockey Club, Sale near Manchester. The event, over the weekend of 4th 5th October, featured former international field hockey heroes from two GB teams who had success in the Olympics ; the men, ( gold winners in 1988) and the Women Bronze medallists at the Barcelona Games. I covered the Heroes Return Reunion dinner at Altrincham’s Cresta Court Hotel and then two hockey games at the club, one featuring the Mens Gold medal team against the GB Vets, the other the Women medallists against the England Masters team. Copious albums from the event are online on my website.
I am big fan of the Field Hockey scene as a subject for my photography and that is reflected in the high proportion of images on my website from the game. Whilst I took a 30 hour a week day job November last year , as a bathroom salesman for the UK’s No1 DIY company, ( in despair at the paucity of my income from photography,) I have kept up with particularly my Sports Photography when shifts allowed. I have also used my free time to modify my website, make it more easily navigable but also tweaked it with additional web pages and metatag modifications that ensure top ten rankings in Google searches. Curiously, in the last few months things have improved in terms of revenue from my work with the Reunion, a triathlon and the Duathlon at Oulton Park Race Track. Having allowed my Flickr pro account to lapse, partly because I rarely post shots here now I have turned my focus back to making my website work for me. Today I am back at Bellevue where I regularly shoot Womens Premier League Hockey and support my favourite team , Poynton Ladies.
