My first cover as an aspiring professional photographer. Thanks to David Kilpatrick – sadly the remuneration was just a £20 book voucher, but nothing could put a value on the confidence this and a few pieces in Amateur Photographer ( thanks Liz Potter ) gave to push me to apply for a job on Practical Photography, which changed my life.
The Sheffield Star ran a news story on me being awarded my Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS)

Cocteau Twins play Sheffield City Hall

I came joint first with John Dakin in an internal Jessop photography competition. The prize was a trip to Photokina…my first time visiting and a Sigma 70-210mm UC lens.
Graham Armitage organised it all and he arranged for us to meet Mr Yamaki
We stayed in the Arcade Hotel in Cologne and met Yamaki on the Sigma stand over a glass of champagne.
Today I married Jane Tupling at the Sheffield registry office.
I took the photos using a Hasselblad 500cm on self timer. This was me ready to set off from our house in Broughton Road, Hillsborough.
It was a fairly small gathering and in the evening family and friends were invited to an evening of drinking and fun at Sheffield Skating ring nr Bramall lane.
Guests from Jessops and the Co-op plus mine and Jane’s friends and family were present.
At the end of the evening I’m told we went on the rink and damaged the ice. Too drunk to remember. We divorced on 4 April 2000.
I bought a second hand Hasselblad 500CM serial number RP1277623 from Jessop of Leicester Limited that had been sold in through their Manchester branch.
I had two of my photos accepted for the Sheffield Star Golden Frame calendar 1990.
