Daily Mirror, London. Front page. <br />
Days after the 9/11 attack on New York City my good friend Andy Lines, then the USA's Daily Mirror Bureau chief called me at 4am. 'Get up,' he demanded. 'I'll meet you outside your hotel in 20 minutes!' Andy had been able to track down Mike Kehoe. Kehoe had appeared on front pages around the world. He was the firefighter who had been photographed climbing the stairs of the World Trade center as everyone else was fleeing. It was assumed Mr Kehoe had been killed in the attack, even Tony Blair had offered his condolences for Kehoe in the British Houses of Parliament.  Days later Andy discovered that Kehoe had managed to escape the building and survived through the brave actions of his unit and his commander who had pulled them out just as the building started to collapse. Then Mirror editor Piers Morgan phoned to ask if I had any images of Kehoe where he wasn't smiling? 'This is serious shit,' Morgan stated. I had to point out that Mr Kehoe is not so much smiling, more suffering from severe shock and the fact that his chief woke him up at 5am. I was able to get just 6 frames of Mr Kehoe before he had to ask if we could stop. 'Thanks,' he said, 'I'm no hero, many of my friends are dead. I'm just exhausted.' We thanked him and his colleagues for their bravery. His unit offered us a ride back to our hotels in their battered fire truck which was full of dust from the collapsed buildings with most of the glass smashed out. The interview and the photographs were a world exclusive for the Daily Mirror. As Andy and I left the fire station, the world's media descended upon the place. All further interviews and images were denied at that time.<br />

Civilians gathered at the site of the breach of the industrial canal for the Great Flood commemoration and memorial ceremony to 'honor and remember our loved ones who have passed.' People came to mark the anniversary of devastating hurricane Katrina at the site where the now repaired and allegedly in theory stronger levee flood wall. The levee breached along the industrial canal at the point where people gathered, needlessly killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the worst engineering disaster in US history.<br />

The Times, front page. <br />
Helen Cummings prays as she hears the jury's 'not guilty' verdict. In an extremely controversial case with racial overtones, the 8 months pregnant mother of an 18 month old faced a murder charge. Mrs Cummings shot and killed her husband on Valentine's day earlier that year. My partner and I had covered the story from the get go when we first heard of the shooting. Mrs Cummings had discovered a photograph of a naked woman under the driver's seat of her husband's car earlier on the day she shot and killed him. She claimed her husband was a lying, cheating bully who regularly threatened her with a gun and had written a faux suicide note for her to find when she returned from work that day. The state claimed Mrs Cummings had shot her husband in cold blood whilst he slept, yet her defense attorney managed to convince the jury that Mr Cummings had acted in self defense, her husband having entered the bedroom threatening to kill his wife. Fearing for her life she had grabbed a revolver the couple kept in the bedroom and unloaded 6 shots from a .38 caliber revolver into her husband. 'I just kept firing until it went click, click, click. He was going to kill me,' she claimed. Mrs Cummings did not know she was pregnant a second time until she was arrested and tested in jail. Upon hearing the verdict Mrs Cummings' father said, 'There are no winners here, we are all losers.' The victim Terry Cummings' brother John cried foul of the all white jurors. 'This is white man's justice,' he declared. Helen Cummings' claimed she did not know how to shoot a gun, a claim that differs from investigations we made with local gun clubs, one of whom claimed Terry Cummings brought his wife in on several occasions to teach her how to shoot a .38 caliber revolver, a fact not revealed in court. Mrs Cummings returned to England following the verdict.<br />

Gilets Jaunes - Acte X take to the streets of Paris. Press photographers cover the protest. An estimated 7,000 people took part in the looping 14 km route from Place des Invalides to protest tax hikes from the Government of Emmanuel Macron imposed on the people. An estimated 80,000 people took part in protests across the country. Regrettably the movement has attracted a violent element of agitators who often face off with riot police at the end of the marches which tends to deflect attention away from the message of the vast majority of peaceful protesters.<br />

Hurricane Irene swept ashore leaving a trail of disruption and 5 dead in its wake. Residents of the beach had been advised to leave as the storm approached. I was hanging with friends at a local bar as the storm hit, just waiting to take a walk to the ocean. It was in theory only a category 2, maybe a 3 storm and I wasn't too worried. I finished my beer and made my way to the ocean across the sand dunes. Getting closer to the beach it was hard to stand and the sand was blasting me, any exposed flesh stinging intensely. The pain was almost unbearable. My friends turned back. I came across these guys from a TV station attempting to make it to the waters' edge, yet they too turned back as the blinding sand blasted us. I kept going all the way to the water's edge, just in time for the eye of the storm to pass directly over me. Never before or since have I stood in the eye of the hurricane. The winds subsided, the water calmed and I could see blue sky through the center of the storm. I was mesmerised. The eye passed over me and as I made my way back home, the wind changed direction and the sand once again blasted me from the reverse direction as I walked back in.<br />

Having my images published on the front pages is nothing new to me, however, having an image of me appear on the front of the Daily Telegraph's travel section was a bit of a surprise. In April 1998 I was dispatched to Orlando to cover the opening of Disney World's latest attraction, the new 'Animal Kingdom.' Seems Steve Benbow's image of me up close and personal with one of the characters was too good to pass up.<br />

Ordination of women priests. <br />
This was my first ever broad sheet front page, one that hadn't come easily. Earlier in the day I had been dispatched to Bristol Cathedral to cover history in the making. For the first time in 450 years, the Anglican Church had taken the bold and at the time extremely controversial descision to ordain women priests. The world's media descended on the story. In a frantic afternoon I covered events in the lead up to the big event. Lots of pomp and ceremony, but the main event was to come later in the day. I sent my film back to the bureau of South West News Service with my then deputy photo editor. A little later later I got a frantic call, my film was shit, thin and all washed out. Nothing could be used. WTF did I think I was playing at? 'Get your shit together or get another f''king job,' the deputy photo editor screamed down the phone. This was a bit rich for a man who rarely left the office and wasn't rated that highly as a shooter by my colleagues. A classic rookie mistake. I had been shooting an event the previous evening and bumped the ISO of my film, forgetting to reset it the following day. I was devastated. My girlfriend at the time was mad at me, yet again I had missed a dinner party in London. She was reaching the end of her tether, keys would be under the mat yet again! But the main event hadn't happened yet. Not until the Bishop handed them the official papers would the ladies formally be the first women priests to be ordained. The press had been banned from the catacombs of the great cathedral, yet a TV cameraman friend of mine from ITV and I had discovered a way down earlier in the day. We took a huge gamble to ignore the main event upstairs, instead opting to hang out in the catacombs where we knew the ceremony would be finalized despite the media ban. We risked being thrown out and getting nothing at all. I didn't have much to lose but my
