About ShazzMack  

Hello!
I uploaded my first photo to flickr in Oct 2006, after hanging out for a while and appreciating so many of the site's photos and personalities. What a friendly and inspiring space. A bit of background on me: I worked for quite a few years in marketing with multinational corps (and some start ups), lived in a bunch of cities in Canada and elsewhere, and I'm now pursuing a more personal take on a creative life. So far, so good.

Today, I have fun as a marketing and communications consultant, sessional college/university instructor, writer, and all-around creative enthusiast. I live in a renovated fabulous fifties bungalow and love old neighbourhoods. INTJ woman with a systems approach to things. Key professional focus is marketing technology and the arts. ... Um, let's see, what else? Canadian/Irish dual citizenship ... bilingual English & French (Québecois dialect) ... et mes amis de Montréal me manquent terriblement. Salut!

No Photoshop yet on any of these images.
Hopefully get into some real processing more in the future.
Feedback and tips encouraged and welcomed!

I'm an Administrator of the Whiteout Group.

bought my first digital SLR in Oct 2006 also, hence the flickr jumpstart :D
Canon Rebel XTi/EOS 400D
EF 100mm F2.8 Macro USM lens
EF S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM lens
