I'm a Fine Art Post Grad (2002) specialising in Printmaking (particularly Etching & Silk Screen) and in the past couple of years I've completed a City & Guilds levels 2 and 3 in photography so now I can also use my equipment quite soundly, during the 2 years I decided to photograph Social Documentary, Architecture & Portrait Photography, all projects can be seen on flickr.
My flickr stream is my personal scrap book, it's where I post everything from carefully thought out and set up shots, to quick snap shots. After a recent HDD failure, I've decided that it's time to stop being so precious over what I upload...
Ongoing projects & portfolio can be viewed at my website below!
Some of my favourite photographers include Stephen Shore, Joel Meyerowitz, Robert Frank, Walker Evans, Eugene Atget and David Lachappelle.
I use various cameras, mainly Canon film & digital SLR's a as well as other non fancy film cameras including the Fujica ST605N, a Holga, a Lomo Fisheye, lubitel & a Rangefinder

If you add me as a contact, comment or fav any of my pictures and you have no photos of your own/blank profile etc I will block you - flickr is about sharing and it's a 2 way street.
Likewise if your comment on my stream contains shameless self promoting to your own stream/website it will be deleted, if it happens again you'll be blocked. I believe you should comment on a photo because you have something to say about it, not to to get people to 'comment back'.

"I've known Karen for 30 plus years, and she still remains to be, probably my favourite City & Guilds level 2 photographer."
