Pictures Published For First Time!! (with a sensitive issue..)

[Dave450]

Hi,
My photos got printed in a magazine for the first time! However, the story behind them is different from most:

Most people in Sussex will know the story, although it did make national news a fair bit. Back in September 08, a shopper was stabbed in a supermarket in Littlehampton. My close friend was the security guard at the store, and I worked in that store before transfering 1 week before this incident.

Anyway there was a presentation of Police Bravery, which I attended with the guard. I did not charge for the photos and gave the edited copies free to him. They have ended up in our companies magazine, so nothing major.

So nothing earn't, just a personal favour for a hero (in my eyes)

The photos are not technically perfect (far FAR from it) but its still a great moment for me!

the best example of pragmatic photography...telling a story but not needing to score points for tech
definately a great moment

Yes I remember the incident well, living in Shoreham its resonably close to me. Very shocking.
Well done on the publication and well done to those awarded on the day, you all must have a good feeling about it, and the young lady survived which is the main thing.
