Self taught from magazines since christmas '07, when I treated myself to a bridge camera, and subsequently my Samsung GX10 after 2 months.

Just had my confidence massively boosted by winning the first competition I entered, winning a spanking new Samsung GX20!

Fuelled by Flickr, constantly learning and being challenged to up my game by the sheer quality of work out there, and some very good people I've met online.

Oh, and don't believe the widget above, I've had 3 shots in explore ;)
