Yesterday the BBC showed a montage June 18, 2006

I’m busy photographing for my next book and exhibition, both on the World Cup, to show in Ambleside from August 1st (later on it might go abroad). Yesterday the BBC showed a montage of my pictures (we had planned this some time ago) ahead of the days games. I think it was well received and I was very proud to have made it to tv in this way as stills-photography, albeit set to pop music, might not work on screen. A second montage will be aired on July 1st. Additionally there is a German tv station doing a feature on me and a crew from Sky getting me in front of their cameras. At the end of the World Cup a 10 page spread of mine will appear in various editions of “Four Four Two” football magazine. Apart from my almost daily speaking to BBC Radio Cumbria (and my doing this ‘blog’) I don’t have the daily need to put my pictures before anyone, as do almost if not all of the 1500 other photographers at the World Cup. I am pleased : it would not suit me to do so.
