I saw a web site that talked about taking 1 photo a day (project 365) and decided that I would have a go at this . I havent been into photography for very long and still have a lot to learn.
Hopefully being a member of Flickr will help. I am very much inspired by all the beautiful pictures that are posted here.

Jocko B. says:
"Louise's work constantly educates me - about the incredible varieties of flowers and bugs, and about how to take top-notch, professional level pictures. She finds a universe of color and textures around her and dazzles me every single day with her abilities. I even think there are some colors on her site I've never seen before. Her work has a combination of attentiveness, technique and occasional ireverance that is hard to beat."

"I have known Aussie gall from Flickr photo albums as one of my friend gave me a link for her Macro shots.
I would just like to say that she is a keen macro photographer and a wonderful nature capturer in the minutest of the creations.
Wishing you a very happy new year, 2007.
