  • St Francis Hospice at House of Commons

    It was a great honour to be asked to photograph The St Francis Hospice fund raising night at The Speaker’s Apartments in the House of Commons with our good friends Kevin & Sabrina Pengelly . Sandra and Sabrina were there as guests of Pam Court, the Hospice Chief Executive.  The patron was TV presenter Richard Madeley and the guest list included numerous MP’s for the champagne reception. The Apartments are absolutely stunning, however, we were requested to keep the paintings out of our photographs, which of course we have complied with as far as possible.

  • St Francis Hospice Summer Golf Day

    It was a great privilege to be invited by fellow photographer Dave Court to help photograph the St Francis Hospice Summer Golf Day. I am not sure any of the 52 golfers at Stock Brook Country Club realised it was summer due to persistent rain! Although everybody who helps raise funds for the Hospice movement is a star, it would be hard to ignore Barry Hearne whose participation was greatly appreciated. Another of my shots on the World Snooker site.

    Learning how to use the Mitsubishi instant printer for event photography was extremely useful! Event-photographyOh yes, neither myself or especially Dave Court (who also provided the prints) received any payment for this – that is what charity is about after all!
