Edit away

3rd day, just been editing a few of my images for next weeks paper. It's going well...I went to Tilgate Galaxy FC v Faygate United FC last night, where they played at Broadfield Stadium, Tilgate won 3-1. Faygate now have lost all their final games. Great photos from all games, and my final 3 edits will be in next weeks print.
It's still quite weird seeing my work and my name in the paper! Some friends saw it too, and they said the same.

Can you smell that?

Just under Crawley's railway bridge in Southgate, there is a gas leak and they have now decided to close another road! Sound surprised? Didn't think so.
So they are causing more traffic hold ups going through the middle of the town centre, as well as closing one side of the road outside the post office to repair the pot holes and also at the College Road roundabout dealing with the same problem.

Fun in the Sun

My second day has gone slower than my first, but it's so fun. I just came back from Bewbush Primary School. They have put on a 'fun day' event for their pupils, for their good behaviour and attendance. The school organises something fun for the students to do at the end of every term.
They seem to be pleased with my images so far...."These photos are so funny" said Kirk...It's very nice to know that they like them.
We're doing a double page spread with these images, which is fantastic. It was so good to see the kids smiling like they were.

Let's see what tomorrow brings, I think I'm working with Jon again tomorrow. Should be fun.

Back in the office

My second morning in the news office, it seems more chilled than my first day. I love it. I've been to K2 with Amie, to report on the 'Crawlathon'. I took a few photos for the article. I'm happy to say that my pictures are in the paper today...just seen it. How good is that?
I've got to go to Bewbush school later at 1:15 to take some photos of the children playing on/with big inflatables. Should be fun.
Let's see if I can get any more images in next weeks paper.

Crazy Times

It's abit hetic in the office now...everyone is typing away, as it is a deadline tonight. I am loving the working environment right now. It's crazy!

Change of plans....yes at the last minute!

As always, things changed right at the last minute! I'm now at Crawley Observe doing my work placement and not in London. They cancelled, the week before I was due to go...THANKS!
But it's been my first day here and it's been great!
I'm working with the head of Photography, Jon Rigby. He's been telling me alot about what he does and how he goes about getting jobs etc.
I want to gather so much more information from working here, I was to widen my knowledge on not just general photography, but focus on press photography too.
I want to find out how the news is produced and what goes on behind the scenes. Asking questions and gathering imformation on all aspects of the company and how they work as individuals and as a team. I also want to know about how they come to the final print decisions within news stories and the photography.
Do they cover everything that comes up in Crawley?
