My partner and I work with cars - he repairs them and fits audio/entertainment systems etc, I design and create decals. We also import cars from all over Europe, so get to travel a fair bit! I always have my little canon p+s with me, and often have the DSLR too.

I'm a professional artist/creator. I own my own business creating floral bouquets and arrangements out of paper and recyclable materials. I know it sounds cheesy, but I promise you it's not. I use my camera almost every day for product photography, and I will through in the occasional family photo shoot during my down time.

When I'm not being creative I'm a mom and Navy wife. I love my life of travel and craziness. Thank you Uncle Sam!

I work in the land based industries, contract supervisor managing a team of 12. We are horticultural based including tree work, hard and soft landscaping and grounds maintenance. We work for a national company here in the uk. I hope, being new to digital and photography in general to be using my camera in and around work as much as possible.

Consider it an investment in the future!

I am a full time Mum and a part time soldier. Been in the Army Reserves almost 25 years and still loving it, although the recruits seem to be getting younger and younger.....
Also this year I will be doing a polytech course in Animal Care - the first step in studying to be a vet nurse.
I take my camera out with me a lot although it often doesn't get out of its bag. I have a waterproof, shockproof camera for the army excerises, a lot of action shots!

The husband and I run a mobile apps development business - he's the programmer/technical guru while I do the accounting, finance, admin, management, public relations stuff. Not that it keeps me that busy given it's a small company.

I also take care of him in the style which he has become accustomed to (although he does the same for me ).

And I write science fiction & fantasy.

I have an easy life. Well, sort of. I can't work full time anyway because of a nasty genetic defect that makes me chronically ill and in chronic pain. But the good parts of my life outweigh the bad, so I'm good with it.

Indeed. I'm a patient and part time hypochrondriac.
