These galleries contain photographs from the various events I have attended over the past few years. Some of the events are local: The May Queen, and the associated Pet Show and Morris Dancers.
There are events we have been asked to attend: Cheryl's 40th Birthday Party at the New Mills Town Hall (some wonderfull fancy dress!), and Liz Crompton's Retirement Party after her many many years teaching at Hayfield Primary School. Most of Hayfield, including my three boys, have been taught by Liz at some point.
Some of the events are from further afield like the NSPCC Ascot Ladies Day Charity Event at Nutter's Restaurant; the food was wonderful, as were the hats!
All of the events involve my favourite form of photography: photographing people. Some of the photos are my personal favourites since they are of friends and, even better, friends enjoying themselves.
I try to be invisible when photographing events. I don't want to interrupt the proceedings. And photographs are so much better when the subject is unaware of the photographer.
