Hello
I'm a new girl! I feel like it's my first day at school and I'm having to wear a name badge or something. And I don't really know what to write without this sounding like a lonely hearts ad. Anyway, i guess I start with the photography - talking about cameras is never a problem- shutting me up is where the difficulty comes. I'm joining DPS cos my friend Simon raves about it. I went digital a year ago with the purchase of my best friend the Canon 5d. I've been taking photos for about 10 years - mostly for myself but done quite a bit of semi-professional stuff. Would love to do it full-time but it feels like quite a big step. I'll leave that until I have babies and can no longer maintain the pace of doing what I currently do for a living - making documentaries. I've been in bed sick today which has been the perfect opportunity to dig through the boxes of early work - and am now hankering after getting my film camera out and shooting on scala. But digital has taught me so much, my photography has improved no end since I got the 5d and I've tried stuff that I never used to do -like nighttime shots and self-portraits. Hopefully I can learn more here to improve my technique and to give me some ideas for other new styles to try. A selection of my photos are on flickr:

Alas, I'm not very organised so only a mere 144 shots are up at the mo - and most of those were put up today! So firstly - does anyone know a good personal life organiser?! They might help me get my act together and get posting on here!
