I am a photographer and an instigator of all things photographic! When I bought my first SLR camera way back when I knew that photography was all I wanted to do. I'm still having fun doing what I love... photography!
It’s now week five of the first module of the MA in Photography course I’m taking. We were asked to “Write a brief statement, or ‘manifesto’ that defines your purpose as a photographer.” in a maximum of 150 words.

Inspiration comes in many different ways and in many different forms. The real trick to getting inspired is being open to the possibilities. Yesterday I had the good fortune to be part of a group that was discussing blogging. It’s obvious that I have not been active on this blog for some time. It’s not that I haven’t had anything to write about, it’s just that I have not been inspired to write it. In many ways, I have missed writing. I can’t say that writing has always been something… Read more Be Inspired →
A year or two ago I found two bird nests after they had fallen out of the trees after a storm. I thought they would make nice props so I… Read more Nest Egg →
