  • Black Cultural Archive Charity Showcase

    Thanks to 601tv, I was asked to join them in documenting the first of many events for the Black Cultural Archive.

    This was a charity event organised by Black Cultural Archive in association with Harmony Productions and The Voice Newspaper dubbed Celebrating Women Variety Fundraising Showcase.

    The event was to raise funds to build  UK’s first national home to Black culture and heritage, the £6.5M Black Heritage Center in Brixton. A further £2.3M is needed to make this dream a reality and the community fundraising event kicked off on the 29th of March, 2009 at the O2 Academy Brixton.

  • Focus on Imaging 2009

    So this was my third year at the expo and I was not disappointed.

    Is there a recession going on? To be honest, I never felt it at the venue, The NEC in Birmingham. With all the kit you could ever imagin to have in your possession in display, one was tempted to just break the bank and go on a spending spree.

    I held back though and just picked a few accessories for my current beginners kit.

    Back to Focus, as I write this, it still has two days before it is over. So, if you can, please go and check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

    I didn’t see everything I wanted to see…….there is too much to see anyway. Tip…..make a list of the stands you would like to see and stick to it. Otherwise, you will have an excitement migrane.

    Focus was and is an experience that will make me go back year after year. Worth every penny of the £6 entry price and the 2 hour journey.
