About Me

I am a 48-year-old parent of two children. I have a 17-year-old daughter, and a 19-year-old son. My daughter enjoys the usual things that a teen girl enjoys – Kanye West, Beyoncé, and several other rapper, Facebook and her kindle. My son  has Asperger’s Syndrome which is an Autistic Spectrum Disorder, he likes his XBOX and chatting with people on Facebook, fast cars, playing his guitar. Both are at college, with my daughter dealing with animals and my son learning life skills.

Towards the end of 2011, I got into photography, buying a GE HZ1500bridge camera to start as I didn’t know if it was going to be a fad or something I could really get into. After a few months though, I decided to go for it and brought myself a Nikon D3000 DSLR. Since then, I have brought a 55-200mm lens, a 70-300mm / Macro lens. a tripod, four zoom filters and a set of 28 assorted filters as well as a wide-angle macro lens. I have also been given a CAM-LINK TP2800 tripod, which my parents brought me for my birthday a couple of years ago, and 5-in-1 reflector which I received free for subscribing to Nikon‘s monthly magazine.

My sister got me into taking a photo every day of the year. That way, you get to see what is around you, no matter how small. I usually take over a thousand photos a month at the moment so had to buy a spare memory card and battery as well. Since 2014 though, I have been taking photos for a Photo of the Week as daily ones were taking a lot of my time.

I also write some flash fiction, which you can see on the page bar at the top, and I write some poetry as well.

I hope you enjoy the photos (and other articles) that I upload.
