Hi there, my name is Gillian...

I love photography and art in every single way! From a young age art was my life, which progressed into photography as I got older...

Being creative has always been who I am. And photography has always been something I have admired. But at first I just thought it was all too complicated and technical for me and I didn't put my all into it.

But after years of continuing with it as a 'hobby' I finally took a photograph about 3 years ago...

...that I thought; ok, that's actually pretty good. And since then my confidence and need to take photos has grown.

In 2008 I really found myself. And I love what I've seen through my lense!

I finally bought myself a digital SLR about 2 years ago now; after using a small digital camera, which was pretty awesome, but I got to a point where I had done all I could with it and so I saved up and purchased an Olympus E500.

Cameras:
Olympus Camedia Digital Camera C-55 Zoom
Olympus E500 Digital SLR

Lens:
17.5-45mm
40-150mm
70-300mm

(And a 46mm thread that gives a wide angle and macro effect)

*Love life.

"Most English-speaking people...will admit that cellar door is 'beautiful', especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. Well then, in Welsh for me cellar doors are extraordinarily frequent, and moving to the higher dimension, the words in which there is pleasure in the contemplation of the association of form and sense are abundant." - J. R. R. Tolkien

"This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that Cellar Door is the most beautiful."

    CellarDoor Photography shows that anything associated with Cellar Doors is beautiful. With the vast numbers of subjects she shoots, she captures beauty, no matter how simple or complex the subject is. Every photograph is nothing short of strikingly marvelous."

    "Hmmmmm where do I start?

    Gillian is a shining example of what Flickr is supposed to be. If you have checked out her photostream then you understand that she is truly gifted and appreciates photography. She appreciates everyones work and makes it a point to comment and support as many people as she can. She is not on Flickr for only herself.

    Gilz is not only a great photographer but a great person. I enjoy her photos and getting to know her."

    When looking through her photo stream it is evident that she has a captivating eye for what surrounds her, that she has the ability to bring out the beauty in whatever she photographs.

    She is a caring, insightful and sweet person whom has a big heart to match. I adore her! :)

    I am truly grateful that I found her stream, for it is without doubt, one of the best photo streams on Flickr."
