A new window on Andy Chubb Photography

The folks at Sheffield Showcase have kindly taken some of my photos and made up a 'sporty' window in Cambridge Street in Sheffield.  I supplied them with over 50 A3 size prints and 5 A3 canvases - they used them to provide a backdrop to a mannequin draped in medals and union flag:

The Sheffield Showcase project is a visual merchandising scheme run by The Source in conjunction with Sheffield City Council.

The Sheffield Showcase brings together creative talent, retailers and apprentices to animate the Sevenstone development site. The project creates an outdoor gallery in the City Centre to help maintain/boost footfall, creating a better environment for customers visiting businesses still operating in the area, as well as providing opportunities for future Sheffield retail talent who will drive the success of the New Retail Quarter in years to come.  Visit their website at: http://www.thesourceacademy.co.uk/business/95/sheffield-showcase

Going to the Commonwealth Games!

A happy start to the week as I have been told that I have been accredited as a photographer at the Commonwealth Games next year in Glasgow!  The English Table Tennis Association were kind enough to support my application which means that I will be able to take my camera into the Scotstoun Sports Centre next July and cover some of the tabel tennis matches for them.

There is now a lot of paperwork to sift through and get checked and sent off - worst bit will be getting a mugshot done for the photo pass.....

BRITISH GAS SWIMMING CHAMPIONSHIPS 2013

These were held at Ponds Forge from 26th-30th June 2013.  There was a large number of records (English, Welsh, Scottish as well as British and the occasional World!) broken over the 5 days and many swimmers posted times that qualified them for the World Championships coming up in Barcelona.

A selection of the best photos that I took at the event can be found at: http://www.peverilphoto.com/section665568_579191.html

Yeah, Ronnie O'Sullivan!

Yes!  The Rocket is back!  Ronnie O'Sullivan yesterday confirmed that he will be back at The Crucible this year to defend his Snooker World Championship title.

As the holder he will now kick off proceedings at 10am on Saturday 20th April 2013.  I hope to be at the tournament for some of the best games going, look out for photos at: World Snooker Champioship 2013
