A previous version of this About description listed writing as my true passion, with photography being a creative outlet when I couldn't sit down to write. With every walk I take with my camera, every event, every human moment I capture - every book I read about the history of photography - photography is becoming my driving passion. That and my four kids of course ;) If only I could turn this into a full time career....

I run Photography with a Story (www.flickr.com/groups/essexmasque/), which is a 515 plus member group, 30,000 plus photographs and stories, and continues to grow. You can also find me on Facebook www.facebook.com/PatECakesPhoto/
