I got alot done this weekend:

- Met Magpieant and Stu from TP forums
- was involved in a car crash
- didn't embarrass myself with poker
- put up with spending the day in a city full of maggies*
- saw 3 people, with 4 cameras in the same car ( us ) all fail to get one pic of the other guys registration in the crash*



* newcastle supporters
*crash = small bump with a van on a roundabout?



Heres some of the shots that i got from the weekend.

A nice set my friend !!!

I like the work you have done on that sumo / banksy affair. I couldn't see the picture at the time, but like what you have done to it.

I also like the bridge & Sage - but I am bias and miss home so they were always bound to be my faves!!!!

Good work on the skaters too - hard subjects to capture - nice effort.

For your clarification ... when a Van ploughs into the side of you and shunts your car 3 foot sideways, it can be classified as a crash. The only reason there was not more damage was due to my quick evasive driving ;) . And the fact that the Swedes make tough cars!!!

I was in shock so cannot be blamed for not getting the shot of the reg plate - as for you and Stu ........ where's a photojournalist when you need one?

As for being 'invited' to spend time in our lovely city .... who could ask for more? At least the lads won ! (More than the mackems did :) )

really like number 5. But the border competes with the archtechture of the image.
 
Nice stuff Rick looks like it was a good day, wish I could have made it. Let me know next time your interested in a meet, just need to clear it with the Mrs as she will be stuck with the kids

Mr Wile - my apologies !!!! Honest!!!

After a brief chat with Rick, we're hoping to maybe do a shoot round the Durham area (or Seaham Pier) - or both ???? No dates sorted as yet, although I am up in the North East next weekend - so if anyone's around ????
