About Me

I never leave the house without my camera. I feel naked without it.

Photography is my main passion in life. I prefer using traditional 35mm SLR cameras; processing, developing and printing my work in the dark room - nothing beats it and it's like magic watching an image float up through the developing fluid. It's very time consuming and can be extremely frustrating trying to perfect the contrast of your prints and the chemicals stink. But I LOVE it and as fantastic as Photoshop is, it just doesn't quite compare or get my creative juices flowing in the same way.
Traditional is where it's at for me.
However, I have recently given in to technology and purchased a digital camera and I won't lie, I do find the digital format incredibly versatile and convenient to use.
