The best feeling in the world is getting paid to do what you love to do. (Laozhang, 36)

When I get up in the dark to get ready to go and capture the dawn images I get super excited.   I know that are only around for a few fleeting minutes and sometimes its seconds in the early mornings and its gone!

Taking Photographs is something I have loved doing since I was seven years old!  I bought my first camera with money I had saved up from cashing soft drink bottles at the shop!  Do you have any idea how many bottles it took to collect to get any sort of refund in the vicinity of buying a camera?  I can tell you this;  I don't have a figure, but I collected for nearly an entire year. 

These days I find there are few children willing to go that far to achieve what they need above their food and clothing requirements!  Why should they go to that trouble?  The governments have made laws now that allow the child to bully the parent into buying  for them just about anything they so choose or desire.  This is a sad thing and proof we are going backwards not forwards.

I know I would feel amazing being paid as a photographer because it is something I have always loved doing and proof why I have a 100 litre tub full of photographs!  I have taken quite a few in my time.
