Cathy G's photostream

CollectionsSetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

I studied photography at school (a looong time ago!) but when I left, as a hobby, it fell by the wayside but I do still have my very first SLR - a Zenit EM that I’ve had for 28 years and it still works (just). For a long time I took nothing but holiday snaps and the odd picture of drunken friends but digital photography and discovering flickr (thanks Garrett) have both fired me back up and made me realise just how much I need to learn.

I’ve lived in Odiham a sleepy little village in North Hampshire for just over 6 years now and amongst other things I administer the Odiham Community website, I moved here after 15 years of living in London.

I share my life, and home with Matt and a black and white cat called Smodge.

Please note all rights are reserved. If you want to use any of my photographs commercially or not then please email me to discuss permission/terms. It's just good manners and I nearly always say yes :)

I don't mean to be rude but as Flickr is a place for sharing if you fave one of my photographs but you don't have any public photographs in your photostream I will block you.

"She's the love of my life, so I'm bias...

Cathyg has an eye for detail second to none - an innate ability with composition coupled with an inquisitive outgoing nature leads to some fantastic photos.

She led me to Flickr and a discovered love of photography."

"Cathy has a great eye for photography and is never afraid of trying something new. She also has a great sense of humour which comes out in a lot of her shots. Cathy also provides us with an enjoyable insight to her life within the community in Odiham. Keep up the good work Cathy and sorry if this sounds like a school report!!"
