My first week back at the Jersey Evening Post and straight into a World Class boxing match. As with working on most regional newspapers, the variety of jobs your assigned in any one day always makes it challenging. One minute your doing sport, then a feature picture story then everything else from business portraits to news. I’m still ploughing through editing my work from Mongolia and India so this post will be short on words. The hope is to expand on how and why I took a particular picture but when short of time I’ll just let the pictures do the talking themselves..which is the general idea of a press photography anyway..!!
