Big Huge Labs
Thank you for finding me!
A Graphic Designer by profession, my photography is an extension of those skills and something I have a huge passion for.
I started taking photographs on a more serious level (rather than just holiday snaps) back in 2005 when I bought a S5500 Fuji Finepix (Which I still own). I was published several times that year in a national magazine, and went on to claim 3rd place in their photographer of the year competition (altered images category). Spurred on by initial success I upgraded my camera to a modest DSLR, in 2006 I held a successful exhibition and 2008 I attained the first merit level within the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain.
My images are many and varied, I try not to restrict my subject matter as I love a challenge, and use all manner of processing techniques.
Traveling is my other passion in life. I want to see as much of the world whilst I am still on it. I am lucky enough to have already traveled to so many wonderful places. In 2010 I made a dream a reality and emigrated from the UK to Nova Scotia Canada. You will find many beautiful scenes from around this picturesque Province in my photostream.
Current Camera: Canon 60D
Thank you for stopping by and taking the time to view my images and read my ramblings! I appreciate every visitor, invite and comment, although I couldn't possibly make everyone a contact I do try and drop by and visit folk's streams as and when I can.

"What to say about AJ...
Well, firstly she's one of the friendliest Flickrists you're ever likely to meet - someone who really understands how to make a website really feel like a community.
Secondly and perhaps more importantly to the casual viewer sminky_pinky100 is an enormously talented photographer, whose sense of image design, composition and post-processing combine to produce a photostream of the very highest quality - take some time and browse her wonderful work."16th October, 2009

"A flickr friend for 14 months now, I can't say enough
delightful things about sminky_pinky! Not only is she a wonderful photographer with published works, she is the best flickr friend!
She is always commenting on my stream with kindness and
wonderful invitations to the beautiful groups she is so involved in.
I think my favorite thing though, is that she travels all over the world and takes the most marvelous photos and explains where she is and its history. I get to travel with her from the Atlantic Provinces to Dubai,
and top it off with wonderful visits to the colorful beach huts in Dorset!
Visit her stream, you will be delighted!"25th September, 2009

"Ok, how do I begin? I have a list of artists I admire on Flickr, with all different styles.... but Sminks is my fave! I love every single image on her stream...and that's the truth.
Her lightly textured landscapes, her beautiful beach huts are all a joy to view. Not only that, she is a wonderful flickr friend.....keep them coming, AJ...don't ever stop!"9th February, 2009

Ken Yuel says:
"Where to start, well lets see; few photographers will grab your eye the way Sminky does. Technically brilliant in skill level, and with compositions and presentations that stun the viewer Sminky_Pinky100 has a photo stream that is jaw dropping.
Don't take my word though, have a look for your self, you wont be disappointed, and you will soon wonder where all your time has gone, you won't be able to tear your self away, Sminkys images are that good.
I am so pleased to know Amanda and I count her as a dear friend. Now I am going to dive into her photo stream once again....see you in a couple of days....."2nd January, 2009

"Sminks has an amazing and creative eye for not only the great scenes, but for the artistic flare that sets her shots apart from others. She is a great and reliable flickr friend. She is also an undercover operative for the British SAS and, folks, those just aren't run of the mill beach huts she is shooting. I could tell you more, but then ...."

Tibby is finally back! says:
"She's an awesome photographer, a great help with my Flickr group (I mean she really invited half the pictures, she's that amazing!), and a wonderful person overall. I'm always looking forward to more of her beautiful pictures & am happy to count her as a Flickr friend! :) Thanks for everything Smink!"

"Phlower Fotos can really annoy me...I KNOW flowers are beautiful things! SP's flower photos are quite different to many, as she manages to extract her personal graphic images from the raw material a flower provides....so....
unusually...
I have found someone who takes photographs using flowers......
That I REALLY like!!
....and the flower photos too of course! :))"18th July, 2008

"Suffice to say that if "sminky" comments favourably on one of my shots, it makes my day ! I love going to her photostream and just wallowing in the sheer quality and creativity of her shots.
Her wonderful photographs have helped me to add ways to "freshen up" my own work and are a constant source of inspiration. Keep 'em coming Sminky !"4th July, 2008

"You my dear are by far the number one non professional photographer on Flickr!
As far as the professionals go, you are at the top with the best of them!
In a little over three months you have amassed an absolutely stunning display of an eclectic, diverse portfolio that no one can ever deny as being a brilliant gift to the world!!!!!!!
Some days A.J. outshines the sun!!
I thank you for being a part of my life!!!"2nd July, 2008

"I have enjoyed seeing her work every day. It is evident that she sees the world differently due to her profession. It is more than just an interest in a different perspective that interests me in her work. It's the skill she uses to compose a simple shot that looks so artistic. I appreciate contacts that can teach me how to use my camera in ways I never thought of. Sminky_Pinky100 has done that for me and I'm grateful."

"Just to say thankyou for your recent attentions, and am enjoying your photos. Bournemouth, London and Canada are familiar to me, but little else. Maybe flower macros and grass cutting will do."

"Sminky Pinky is a lass that I have come to think very fondly of, in the last few months. Not only are her photos out of this world, but she has been my partner in crime in getting two relatively successful new groups off the ground.
The number of images that have made it into Explore in the last few months are a great indication that her photos are just amazing. From fabulous flowers, to luscious landscapes, this girl has it all!
Please make sure you take a look at her photostream, and show her some love!
Love your work Smink!!"6th June, 2008

karenpeacock says:
"I've never written a testimonial before. I've also never been a huge fan of macro flower photos. Sminky has made a convert of me. Her macro shots are consistently surprising. They really are a view into another world. She never ceases to impress me with her artistic eye. Plus, she's a great contact who is quite generous with her positive feedback. Sminky, thanks for sharing your wonderful work!"
