I have always loved taking photos. In 2007 I realised I wanted to do more than just take snapshots as visual memories. I read lots, experimented with my camera, made an active decision to leave my trusted point-and-shoot camera at home and take out the "big" camera (well it was the big camera until I got my DSLR!) These are the results.

Please also take a look at the Amateur Photographer website - lots of hints and tips, and TONS of great photos!
