I forgot to post on here to let everyone know – Ste passed his Licentiate and is now an officially recognised professional photographer with the BIPP!!
His panel flew through judging and I think he’ll definitely manage his ABIPP at an earlier age than me (mine’s coming later this year…)
Congratulations to Mr Stephen Woodhams, LBIPP!!

As you all probably know I do bits of commercial work for companies when asked, one of the main being AFBlakemore and the SPAR Group. Peter Blakemore has recently spent nearly £1million on developing his onsite recycling facility which has reduced their waste from their retail by nearly 80% – pretty impressive stuff and theirs new developments coming later this month!! 
Yesterday Peter and the staff from AFBlakemores invited children from a local school in Willenhall to come down and have a look around the recycling facility and the work the company is doing and I think it’s safe to say everyone enjoyed themselves.
I was on-hand to cover the morning for AFBlakemores PR department and got a nice coverage for them along with a couple of updated shots of the facility.
It was also the day for the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 bundle of joy to make an appearance on the front of my D3 and what a lens it is…it will definitely be my lens of choice in 2009!

Here are a few shots from the day to give you a feel…enjoy…
