Covert Photography is something I've been working on for a couple of years now. Ever since I've had my first camera, I've liked to take it to the match, and with the cameras I've had, I've built up what is essentially a brief record of Reading FC's last two seasons.

To me, football is about something more than just 22 men kicking a ball around. Football is about comradeship, community, friendship and ultimately is a rollercoaster of emotion. With money becoming more and more part of football every week, I think its important to keep hold of what made it what it is in the first place.

I'd like to build the collection, especially the general football section, so if you have taken any interesting images from games across the leagues, and want to display them online, get in touch. My email address is ali_costelloe@yahoo.co.uk.

Photography is a way of capturing and preserving a moment of time. Each moment of time can be depicted in many ways, but the way each moment is seen on this site is how I saw it at the time, and for that reason, I make no apologies over the content of each shot. While you may have had a different view of the occasion, or no view at all, this site is essentially my view of what I see.

Enjoy the photos, and if you have anything to contribute, let me know - I'd be delighted to expand the collection.

A little bit about me...

I'm a 21 year old student with a home and away season ticket for Reading. I've supported Reading for 10 years, since I moved to the town. I've made almost all of the games in the last 3 years, and before that, many home games.

My interests are predominantly football, photography and web design.
