Hi - thought it was time i perhaps put a profile on here as i am gathering some really nice contacts and would like to let people know a little more about me.

I have received some fantastic feedback so far about my work which is massively appreciated as i only picked up an SLR for the first time September 2006 so it's not been long. I started with a Canon EOS 300 film SLR, soon got bored with that and progressed to a Canon EOS 3 film SLR and then went for digital about April this year with the EOS 20D. I don't have photoshop but use Paintshop Pro which i am just starting to get to grips with a bit more but it all takes time, but i only use this for minimal manipulation as i prefer to keep it as real as i can.

Currently studying second year A level as a mature student at 36, having completed year one with an A grade (how chuffed was i!)! I have had to become both photographer and model with some of my friends being unwilling to strip off! ;O) but needs must and all that!

Hoping to explore my photography further so please keep looking out for me and i'm happy to receive constructive criticism anytime.

Thanks again to everyone who have favourited my images for genuine reasons and if for any other reasons, 'Shame on you'.

See you soon

J :O)
