Hi, my name is Nickie and I'm 26. I'm a wife and a mother to an adorable three year old little girl, who's name is Abby. I live in Milwaukee, WI...but emigrated from the UK four years ago. I got into photography through my dad, who was an avid photographer and was glued to the Nikon SLR he carried with him constantly. I was bought my first camera when I was six and have hopefully been steadily improving since then.
I also have a BA in Photography under my belt, but still need practice from time to time. I own a '70s Pentax K1000 SLR which is a very trusty camera and is extremely reliable. I do love my digital camera, but is sadly only a P&S with minimal manual settings. I get a few good photos out of it though.
I am currently scrimping and saving to buy my very first DSLR (probably a Nikon D40)...but until then I have my film SLR and my digital camera to back me up. I'm just finishing up my very first paid shoot, so I obviously can't be too horrible
I'm just really hoping to meet some like minded people in my area who I could hang around with and bounce ideas off of
