Return to the O2 arena after couple of years - last time here being the opening show of Bon Jovi's Lost Highway one night stand.
This time - Game on at the O2, a four team basketball tournament in preparation for Team GB's travel to EURObasket 2009.
Few initial observations to begin with, London's tube has decided that it would be nice to have engineering work on the 15th and 16th of August - the two weekend dates of the tournament. Which makes is rather difficult to travel to and from the games, but as always in Britain if it is not football - who cares ;-)
Media reception was very swift and easy process - but then again I have photographed Team GB before - and am one of the few who also covers the women's games.
Media room for photographers - even if I arrived about two hours before the first game (which does not even feature Team GB) the SIX tables were already occupied by media. There is room for a total of 10 people at the media room to work on tables. Not really enough considering the venue and amount of media attending.
Other than that - all well so far, and looking forward to two exciting days of photography at the O2. And if this Arena in England does not have enough light... I dread to think what it will be like at the BBL and EBL during the domestic season. But.. lets not speak too soon.
Photos of the Game on at the O2 will be posted here in the Blog as well as in the galleries at X-it Images and Zenfolio.
Hope you'll enjoy them!
