In the day Will Cheung and I decided to spend some time on the roulette tables in Las Vegas. We started at noon and were still there at 6pm…considerably worse off! I lost a lot and Will lost twice as much. A one time experience never to be repeated. We had arranged to go out with Claire Fleerackers from Kodak that evening.
We ended up at C2K night club. We had to wait in a queue while Courtney Cox was ushered in priority style…hadn’t they heard of Peter Bargh!
Out with
Peter Bargh (Emap), Claire Fleerackers (Kodak), Simon Coleman (Nikon), Will Cheung (Emap),
The 2000 PMA, Las Vegas was a great excursion Canon took us on a Helicoptor ride over Las Vegas Strip followed by Dinner at Osteria Del Circo, Bellagio Hotel and then into the Cirque Du Soleil “O show” at Bellagio Hotel. What an experience. Myself and Mike Elliott were falling asleep in the show which was spectacular, but food and wine followed by comfy seats in a darkened room don’t go well together!Host

A five day stint at PMA, Las Vegas included a press event organised by Olympus to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Track. We got to fly around the track at 170mph 3/4in off the ground in a two-seat purpose built champ car.

I managed to collect a few stamps in it over the following 10 years
Donna Willingham (at the time Wade) and I were on an Agfa Pudding Club Christmas lunch. We then went with them to a London bar, can’t recall which one, and in popped Chris Evans. We only had an Agfa single-use camera with us. Donna took a photo and cut Chris off!! I took one with all of her in and most of him. The two were merged for this photo. Good times.
Chris came over to us because Donna was smoking and the cheeky bugger scrounged a fag.
Sadly I cannot remember time, date or year. It will have been early December and it was on our days together on Digital PhotoFX magazine so I’ve taken a stab at 1999.
A Kodak press trip, which included a visit to the HQ of Kodak in Rochester, but I can’t remember what the event was.
We watched football in our hotel, and the hotel overlooked Niagara Falls.
We flew on to Philadelphia but it’s all a blur. I’d just found out found my wife was having an affair with a neighbour so my mind was a bit scrambled through to December.

I can’t remember why, but Olympus invited us to the premier of Star Wars Phantom Menace at the Warner Village complex 02 in London, plus food at Zuccato Cafe Urbano.
I remember saying to Dan Lezano that the boy won. He was looking forward to seeing the film and I spoiled the ending of the race. He never forgave me 😉
