The KFC Mini-Cricket festival on the 6th September was a fantastic event for the kids. There were over 1600 kids there and they all played two games during the day but for me as the photographer it was not as good.
I betrayed a basic rule of any business not only photography and more specifically my public relations job and that is that you have to get to the event early. There was an accident on route and I was 10 minutes late for the event.
Media had already arrived when I got to the event so that made taking pictures difficult because I had to deal with media queries.
The next problem that I had was part three of the brief and that was that I needed to take pictures of the kids interacting with a professional cricketer. The local cricket union decided that they could not send a professional player to the event.
Eventually I had time to take only a couple of photographs and I had to deal with what I had taken. Luckily for me the local media liked the photos enough to use them.
