I take it you didn't ask him to say "young sports personality of the year" then?

Nice stuff Pete. On the subject of minders and hangers on, I guess that the leech of a manager that approached you was protecting his slice of the pie, Hatton takes the punches and he takes the ££££s. You are probably aware that there is a dark side to boxing and gym culture revolving around protection, doorman and bouncers. The intimidation is all part of that, and for normal civilised people it can be incredibly stressful, a bit like standing in front of a pit bull and wondering if it is going to attack.
Keep up the good work, im loving your 'new' stuff (street and abstract) and look forward to your landscapes.

Spot on. I think every criminal in Bristol was there last night. A real eye opener and hopefully the first and last time I do that. Will stick with the non pro stuff. Far more enjoyable and the light is just as bad.

Thanks for the comp.

Jeez - what was he wearing? Has he no taste? Actually, dont answer that.

Sounds like you hit the underclass there. The light looks pretty naff, but #3 works well as the classic head shot with sweat flying. Cool.

Good grief...Funnily enough I was thinking about this the other day...what it would be like to meet a hero and discover he/she was a complete tool (bit like in Extras). Oh well, their loss!

Jesus, makes you wonder if its worth the risk for the sake of it, cracking pics, i love the impact, excuse the pun, of the contact ones.
