Hi all... its been a very busy time for me for the past year and a bit and I am just about clear of all the stuff that pretty much stopped me from photography and hanging out on here. After my mother passed away I was the executor of her estate and all the rubbish that comes with that :( I...

As some of you might remember, my mother passed away just after Christmas and I have spent the best part of the year trying to sell her house and sort out the "estate" Finally I have exchanged contracts on the house sale, and Monday will be the day the house is officially someone elses. Now...

I am in the market for a telephoto lens, but I haven't a clue which one to buy! I recently went on holiday and it became apparent that 70mm isn't long enough for some of the shots I would take while travelling... We went to an airshow, but pretty much most of my images were unusable, despite...

I am really struggling to know how to write this (especially after reading Bills post ). My mum lost her battle with cancer on Sunday. She was a very strong and brave woman and continued to fight almost to the very end... and that spirit gave us one last Christmas with her, and as...

I need to take a break. Mum was rushed into hospital last week, and we dont know whats wrong... they are doing tests but nobody seems to know whether the pain she is in is from her cancer spreading, or something else. They keep increasing her morphine, and right now to my uneducated eyes, things...
