I do try to be all professional, letting my products speak for themselves and all that jazz. But the stories behind the images are sometimes too delicious not to share.
Like the time I nearly got blown off a Welsh mountain during a gale, because the scenery looked so good. You couldn't even tell that I was holding onto a bollard and photographing one handed in the finished image. Disappointing.
Or the time I was chased out of a Northamptonshire field by a herd of cows. Did you know that lots of people are injured every year in cow stampedes? No, me neither. I thought that was bulls. I learned a valuable lesson that day; and didn't get the photograph.
Then there was THAT blizzard, where I honestly thought myself in imminent danger of hypothermia or my hand freezing to the camera. Ok, I may exaggerate at times, but as Neil Gaiman's Sandman said, 'You should never trust the storyteller, only the story.' Words to live by, I feel. And I did get the blizzard pictures, only none of them were usable. All that snow falling on the lens does blur things somewhat.
I'm a British woman, who's attempting to make a living on-line. This isn't a blog all about you buying my stuff (though that would be really lovely too, so please don't stop yourself, if that is your intention). It's a blog about my adventures while going in pursuit of things to photograph and products to make. It's more interesting than you may think.
