I first picked up a camera to use creatively when I was 12 (a Pentax K1000 as a birthday present from my parents). Since then I have never put my camera down!
I completed a diploma in photography seven years ago and since then I have had two little girls (who make rather good subjects actually!) with my partner of five years. I have completed many short courses in photography over the years, mainly to meet like minded people and to share ideas and gain new skills.
I plan to go freelance at some point, but for the meantime I will continue to enjoy experimenting on a daily basis. I’m currently teaching myself how to use photoshop CS3. Any constructive criticism would be much appreciated!!
