About me…

Hmm… what to say about me?

There really isn’t that much that’s worth rambling on about so I’m going to keep this short and sweet!

I’ve loved photography for as long as I can remember.  Ever since I got my DSLR I’ve been driving my family nuts at gatherings and special occasions, constantly clicking away!  The children love to pose, though I prefer to capture them when they’re unaware!

I love being out in the fresh air and am happiest when surrounded by nature, with my camera in my hands and preferably the sun shining!  That’s when I feel most peaceful… that’s when I slow down and breathe and just live in and for the moment.  I’m usually accompanied by Tala (‘Mutley’), who I also love to photograph, she’s so pretty and loves the attention! 🙂

I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a professional (hence the name of my blog) but am striving to become a much better amateur!  I would have loved to have been a travel and wildlife photographer, especially if it involved working among wild dolphins… never say never! 😉

I started this blog mainly as a creative outlet but also as a platform for sharing my photographs.   I don’t really have a niche… I love landscapes, macro, portraits, street scenes, animals, the sea… pretty much whatever takes my fancy!

If anyone enjoys my photographs half as much as I enjoy taking them, then that makes me very happy and as Mutley features regularly, I think she would be pretty chuffed too…

All photographs are my own and I would ask that they are not used for any purpose without my prior permission.  If you should choose to use the sharing buttons, please be sure to link back to this blog.  Many thanks!
