Had a great weekend at Sandown Park for this years VolksWorld Show 2010.
I was originally invited my Rikki James from SSVC after meeting him on the Ninove Cruise earlier in the year. Paul from T2D also suggested that I sell some posters from their stand (muchio apprecio for the trade space Paul).
As the van was staying in the Paddock area in Sandown Sat & Sun so I booked a room at the Ship Hotel in Weybridge. I was given the disabled room bizarrely, but it turned out to be rather palatial, perfect as I had 35 posters to wrap up and needed the floor space.
Saturday was an early start, the van was filthy so I was washing it in the car park at 6:15 in the morning! Then finished off some more poster wrapping. No time for breakfast, off to the Sandown gates for 7:45am.
The Paddock
Was great lining up next to Shep from Boss Dog who arrived with the awesome graphic wrapped split screen. Some amazing vans inside and out of the paddock. The weather was great for HDR’s. Good cloud coverage making for some moody pics.
Met up with Tom Wheatley on the Sunday. We sent a few hours checking out some of the rides in the paddock and talked HDR photography (yawn I hear you say). But its great to speak to a fellow photo geek.

Congratulations to Matt Ballz from the T2D who won a Top 20 with project Goof
Poster Sales
The posters were really well received. We sold over half the stock we took with us which was amazing. The landscape ones sold on the Saturday and we could have sold them 10 times over! Others didn’t sell quiet so well, but it was more of a test the water thing.

Finally, thanks to everyone who bought a poster. Means a lot knowing that my photography is appreciated by more than just me!
Those people that asked about photo sessions for their buses. I’m chuffed to be asked to do that for you. I’d be well up for it, just get in contact and hopefully we can get a date set and get shooting. I will be attending some more events during the summer. I’ll be posting events we’ll be attending on our new page imaginatively named… Events.
Also cheers to T2D for the trade space. Cheers fellas.
