What made me stop the heavy drinking

admin Tim Comments Off 31 August 2019

In 2017 I did a 365 day photo challenge, and this post is taken from that blog that I did at the time. This was post 363 out of 365, and I returned to the scene of the incident that finally put an end to my heavy drinking. I thought that I was indestructible, but far from it I was fortunate to survive and my love of alcohol became a respectful fear of it.

The Third Anniversary of Losing Mum

admin Bowel Cancer, Fundraising 1 29 August 2019

I have produced a photo collage comprising of some of the wonderful photos that I have received over the last few years from people who have so generously bought books, t-shirts, bears and other bits and pieces from me to help raise funds. The collage consists of bowel cancer patients, relations of cancer patients, my oldest friends, my new friends, and people who have come across my work and made contact with me.

I was fortunate to get a couple of opportunities to photograph Frank Turner for The Record, my new bowel cancer fundraising book. I photographed him from the photo pit at the Southampton Guildhall in May 2018, and before that I got to meet and chat with at the Reading Hexagon in November 2016

One of the ways things that I would like to try to increase sales of The Record is to sell it at events, especially those with a link to bowel cancer.

The role that reviews play in getting The Record out to a wider audience is an important part of taking the book forward.

I was thrilled when the legend that is Basil Brush agreed to be in The Record. I got to meet and speak to Basil at The Theatre Royal in Windsor in December 2017 where he was starring in Sleeping Beauty. There was a bowel cancer connection for this chapter, as sadly Basil’s creator Ivan Owen died
