G'Day Everyone, New member just popping in to say hi... with a little of who I am and where I am at these days.
I started my photography journey 30+ years ago when I was looking for a new hobby. I loved art at school, not bad at it either, but I found I did not have the patience any more to create an image with pencil and paints. Light bulb moment.... " I will give photography a go", and never looked back. Olympus OM1 outfit, still in my cupboard, darkroom equipment, still in my cupboard. Digital imagery and cameras re-awaken what had become a flagging passion.
That was over ten years ago. In that time I have been able to invest in the best Nikon professional equipment in my pursuit of the NEW journey. Someone good and great in the photography industry once said... "the best camera is the one you have with you."
After many years as a freelance/part-time photographer I am now concentrating all my efforts full time on providing quality images for discerning clients.
I have recently attended the Aspire A-Z of photography business course. A four day course at their Cumbria headquarters. This to keep me atuned to modern business trends and practices. Constantly updating one's training is a vital part to business.
Hope to meet some of you in the future and have discussions and questions here on the forum.
Best regards, Paul Tombs....ptgraphics photography
