Milton Keynes Photographer’s work shown in local press

I was asked by the Milton Keynes Theatre District if I would photograph the Mascot Olympics that took place in June.

Glad to oblige I found it a much more thrilling day out than I had imagined. I had planned on just being there for a couple of hours, but in the end I stayed till the prize giving at the end.

The mascots came from all over the country and were real fun, larking about and not taking anything seriously. Several times I was playfully jostled and at one stage the MK Lightnings Polar Bear attempted to eat my camera , complete with long telephoto lens. Later on the tried the same trick with the commentators microphone. Mayhem ensued all day with various things done by the mascots to entertain the crowd. All of them were great hits with the children.

Most of the photos of the day are on my flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/db_fotos/sets/72157626970798322/. Prints are available for sale on request.
