Your Image File

I had this whole other post in mind for tonight but I succumb to defeat, the title would of been “Has Photography Your Photography got Soul?”, but that is now The Blog That Never Existed. I had been writing little bits here and there and reading other post relating to the above question, but after [...]

I saw this story on the BBC news and had to post before I go to work, It demonstrates everything I believe in with regards to photos. We spend to much time and money, (me included) and forget the the real importance of what a photograph means to someone. I wish I could link this [...]

I usually write my blog on a Tuesday night, right after I have been to my local camera club and I have found that I come away from the club with some great tips, information and inspiration. Whether  it be from the photos on show, the judges critique or the general chatter amongst all the [...]
