Wow! What a week it has been!
If you are not one of the 150,000 people who has visited my site this week, you may not know that I was inadvertently caught up in a major national news story. The full details can be seen here, but to summarise, a Mr David Calvert of Fleetwood Lancashire was wrongly accused of being the murderer Jon Venables. Because I shared the same name as Mr Calvert, a lot of people took a great interest in me. Thankfully any abuse aimed at me was minimal, but it was still an extremely unnerving experience. Because of this incident, I was interviewed by BBC Radio 2′s Jeremy Vine for his lunchtime show. The local press have also been in touch with me.
I would like to take this opportunity of thanking everyone who has been in touch with their kind words of support during this difficult period – in particular my friends and colleagues in the photographic industry, who have helped to disassociate me from this rather unpleasant story by writing about it on their blogs. Thank you to everyone.
On a much lighter and happier note, this week was primarily allocated to doing viewings and a lot of post-production work. Subsequently I only did a couple of shoots. Shown above is the gorgeous Mataya. She was beautifully behaved – despite a long car journey from south London. Don’t you just love her sparkly eyes and lovely black hair?
