Liverpool Capital of Culture 2008 - Peoples Launch #1

I was planning on saving these photos till tomorrow, however something came up. The Echo expressed an interest in them and as far as I’m aware two should be in today’s issue. I was very lucky to be hired by the company doing the fireworks display and they got me into the Radio City Tower. I’ll discuss this more tomorrow, and trust me when I say that tomorrow’s shot is even better. Its moments like this that make everything worthwhile. “What has the Capital of Culture done for me?” Well, its given me photo ops like this. Its taken a place I love and made it even more photogenic.

    superb photo. I reckon if I try hard enough I can work out which of those tiny dots is me (I was by Ladbrookes on the upper level of Lime St)

    I have in my hot little hands a copy of today’s Daily Post and you not only have a good sized photo near the middle, you also have the double page spread in the middle of the souvenir pullout \o/ Looks stunning!!

    Well done Pete, am soooo proud of you!! What a start to the New Year!

    It will also put your Council Tax up next year & the year after like it did in Glasgow!

    [...] although I’ve never been up it, I know a man who has (well a few) but this one has taken some stunning shots from the top.  And it’ll always be St John’s Beacon to me. 19. March 2009, 08:43 Tagged with: [...]
