It seems the Somerset County Gazette will print any old rubbish these days. I sent some pictures of snow men to the gazette a couple weeks back, on the advice of one of my friends, and as an aside I also included some pictures I took during the Open Mic Night at The Perfect 5th in Taunton. I never heard back from the Gazette so I just forgot about it, until the other night when Martin (of Butterscotchworld fame) asked if I was pleased with the gazette photo. This greatly puzzled me, because Martin didn't know me when I did the Royal Marines photos, so surely he didn't mean that. So he explained that my picture of Dave Marrow had been included. When he told me this I was in fact watching Ryan Inglis performing so suddenly fired up to take loads of photos. I sent these in also, and I even wrote a little story to accompany them.
I got no attribution sadly, not even for the story which, although was edited somewhat from my original words, is still substantially mine. I think they added the comment about Bryher being from Richard Huish themselves, these rest was just editing to make it shorter.
I shall have to remind them about the lack of attribution for my next article.
The Dave Marrow picture appeared on page 31 of the Feb 12th 2009 issue of the Gazette. The "Perfect Night Out" story is the bottom of page 87 of the Feb 26th 2009 issue.

Congrats again!
And at the same time, what a bunch of thieving buggers over at the gazette. That's not on.
I've never really forgiven them for not sending me a temporary press pass to take photos at the Mexican Lucha Libre wrestling... http://www.agaveweb.com/blog/2007/09/18/strange-request/
Well I figure they owe me one, so I'll call it it next time I want to promote myself or there's another wrestling event you want to attend.
