1. How long have you been involved in photography?
I've always enjoyed taking photos but mainly when on holiday but then I was given a holga on my 30th and I just haven't been able to stop!

2: Equipment you use?
my current count is 13 different cameras...i have a many old medium format film cameras brought at markets, a few holgas, a couple of polaroids and my canon 400d. I’m obsessed and passionate – quite a dangerous combination in any individual, let alone a photographer!

3: Mac or PC?
. PC but I'd love a mac one day – anyone want to buy me one?

4: What inspires you?
a sunny day, living by the sea, my friends, bright colours, my love for travel and visiting new places- there are so many things I could mention!

5: Preferred subject matter?
I'd have to say give me a beach, blue sky and my holga and I'm always happy.

6: Name one thing you haven't caught with the camera that you REALLY want to capture.
I am the point where I really want to take a good self portrait that reflects a lot about who and what I am. Something that reflects as much about the internal workings of my mind as well as my outer appearance.

7: When in doubt about your art, who do you confide in?
. My contacts on flickr. There are so many of my friends who have been so great and inspiring with their comments and advice. I'm not going to mention anyone specifically as I'm bound to leave someone out but you know who your are!

8: Qualifications/training in anything? ie: Photoshop
None - self taught, so still make lots of mistakes. Though I guess a mistake isn’t a mistake if I learn something from it!

9: Plans for the future?
Just to continue with taking photos - if it becomes more than a hobby than great but if not then I its something I love doing

10: In one word, describe your photography.
