Hi
Well after gentle hints from my partner who is already a member I joined Red bubble 0ct 08, and im now addicted to photography and it is a great passion. I take anything that catches my eye or imagination.
I photograph as a memory to the passing of time and enjoy what the camera see’s and i up load to wonderful surprises. I am slowly learning about photoshop some photos i am using to experiment with and have fun so you may see a odd one or two.
3 January 2009.. i went and bought a Nikon D90 DSLR. I am having so much fun and have tons to learn.But it will still work alongside my trusted Panasonic FX8 digitial camera.
July 2009, I am now learning to manual focus and use Aperture piority, as well as a screw on +4 macro filter.
September 2009 
Please take a look at the above group, this is for 10 to 17 year olds to show case their work on here through a adult members profile, some fantastic work has already been admitted, so please if you know of a teenager who is starting to try photography point them to this group, Thank you *
Looking forward to discovering new ideas, learning from more experienced artists and open to imformation and input.
Enjoy what you see, comments always welcome.
