An ordinary woman living an ordinary life ... along with two kids, a cat, some computers and a car in my charge.

I was less than 10 years old when I had my first camera, and have been taking photos ever since, although I only began taking it more 'seriously' around three years ago. It has now become a passion. I hope to learn more and become better in time.

I carry a little Canon S95 around in my bag all the time, and also have a Canon EOS 450D and some lenses. I am a member of a local Camera Club and enjoy the talks, tutorials and competitions there, as well as seeing the work of some very talented photographers.

I like many different kinds of photos, and like to make many different kinds too. However, I find I am drawn to taking quite a lot of macro and abstract images, and I enjoy processing with software.

I appreciate invitations to post my images in groups here at Flickr, but I won't always take them up. I don't really like groups where the members are compelled to comment on other images as a rule for adding their picture to the group pool. I always do comment on other pictures, but dislike being told I must do so - call me contrary! I also dislike groups whose comment images result in glittery, twinkly, flashy icons on my pages. Sorry, it's just a personal 'thing' and I ask that you don't take it personally as it's not meant that way.

    Orbiting Sol says:

    "A great contact, a devoted photographer.

    In Kitty’s photostream you will see wide-ranging variety, ranging from everyday life, to special experiences and uncommon sights, to even culinary delights. Often including descriptions that engage the viewer and enrich the image.

    She pulls out the “extra” of the shot; making the subject come alive. Be it a close close-up, an unusual angle, a unique digital enhancement. One sees new ways of looking at things, natural things, man-made things.

    It has been a joy sharing photos with Kitty; she is the definition of a great contact.

    To see her new work unfold truly enhances my Flicker experience.

    "I don't need to say much about Kitty's photographs. They speak for themselves. In my (humble) opinion, Kitty provides us with some of the most gorgeous and tantalising photographs and her macros shots are second to none.

    I dare anyone to look at her 'Flora' set and not think 'Wow' at the colours, composition and beauty. This set is just one example of her ever growing body of creative and artistic work!

    Robert Wilson Photography says:

    "When I first came across Kitty's stream I was drawn to her photos taken on the Ridgeway and the beautiful villages near where she lives. She is so creative with her macro shots of flowers (and all her sock monkeys).
    Kitty always takes time to comment on my photos ( which I appreciate more than anything)."

    "Kitty was one of my first contacts on flickr and I have alway liked her photos and sense of humour.
    She helped me when I first started more than she knows.
    We do not talk as much anymore but I know she is having a good time taking her photos and that pleases me.
    I wish her all the best for the future because she deserves it.
    Thanks again Kitty.
