A non exec Director by day - and avid photographer by night since buying a Panasonic FZ18. It's not quite an SLR but it's as far removed from a point and shot as you can get. It's a great camera for me as I'm totally non compatable with complicated gadgets...(although perversely I love being a bit geeky and like things like HTML and web 2.0 stuff,) if I even look at anything tech based it breaks - the microwave even hisses at me when I walk past it...that sort of thing. So my camera is great for me.

My Photos are totally random...I take what I like and whatever catches my eye at the time and I'm trying to improve my photography skills so any hints tips or advice website details - gratefully received!!

I keep my photostream pretty open except for the pictures of my kids - these I only share with close friends and family - sorry but some things are personal and private and that's one of them!

Apart from that you're welcome to explore my pictures and feel free to leave notes, comments or say hi in a PM to me - I don't bite and I love meeting new people.

The only thing I do ask though is that you don't use my photos without asking me first...it's only polite...I also like to know where and how my work is being used, (which is only natural,) and they are all under my copyright...and I do have a sharp (and somewhat litigious) lawyer being a business woman!! So you have been warned - if you use my shots without my permission and I find out...well...you'll be for the high jump!! That said, with my permission I'm pretty easy going about the usage...so just ask. ;-)

Feel free to add me as a contact and if I like the look of you/your piccies I'll add you back too. Like my Dad always says "a stranger is a friend you haven't met yet"...so don't be shy! :-)

On a more personal front - I like shoes and champers and hate chewing gum and coffee. (I drink Earl Grey if you must know!)

I have my own blog which will probably give you more of an insight into what I'm like which is at www.freyasykes.com

Enjoy!!
