About The (un)professional

I am a 40 year old IT professional, who would loved to been an artist, but a severe case of dysgraphia, dyspraxia and dyslexia has left me with little to no ability to draw and paint. Photography has been a life long love since recieving my first camera at age seven, when I recieved my first camera a boots version of a kodak 126.

Reason for blipping: Origionally this was a challenge to myself - could I stick this long enough to get a whole year, would I have the conviction and presence of mind to complete the task, or would I let it fall to one side like many of my ideas. I also to wanted/still want to earn more about my camera and photographic techniques and styles. I can be found dabbling in many differing styles and techniques as I try to find my own feet.


A selection of other photos, rejected blips and ideas can be seen at Flickr

I have photos and artwork for sale at my photobox gallery
