I thought it’s about time I introduced myself. I am middle aged young lady from South Wales. My first introduction to photography was as a very young child, tip toeing past the middle room which acted as my Mothers laundry/storage room and my Dads dark room. He would be in there for hours, strange smells and occasional sounds emitting until my Dad would emerge triumphant with his latest photo which was either my family (my 3 sisters and I) or something to do with nature. He would sometimes let me sit with him as he processed his photos and I was fascinated with the magic solutions which would turn a piece of white paper into an image. One of my saddest memories was when my Dad had to sell all his photographic equipment and camera because his Parkinson’s left him unable to continue – the first time I ever saw my Dad cry.
I came to photography quite late – Children growing up and not needing me and had some time on my hands. Starting with a bridging camera and then my first proper Camera Canon EOS 550d which I loved. I became Wales Lacrosse official photographer (my daughter played for Wales and GB) which was amazing to be on the sidelines taking action shots with the Pro’s.
I love all aspects of photography and see wonder and beauty in everything I see. Photography has opened my eyes over the years and I truly believe that we see the world in a different way than the average Joe. I am not very technical but I don’t think it matters as I am learning all the time from wonderful people like you and I can’t wait to see how I will grow in the future.One of my Fav shots of my daughter playing Lacrosse – she’s my Muse although now living in the USA.

Allows Edits? YesThis is great @vanpraag and it’s great to know more about you. I have to admit I was quite curious about your photography background after seeing some of your shots in the forum lately.
Turns out you’re a darkroom kid, like me. My mum had a darkroom at our place too! 🙂

Allows Edits? YesWonderful insight into the person and not just the picture taker Joanne. This place (LS) feels more like a close knit community of friends every day. Your pics are fantastic BTW.
