I got slightly nervous when I saw a reply! Thanks for that, what you eating?

Sometimes I look at my portfolio and think i’m kidding myself. I’ve done a few odd jobs and i’m shooting a band’s press pack and album cover next month, I get worried though. I’m okay when i plan my shots but working as a photographer requires on the spot knowledge under whatever conditions arise on the day whereas I usually make notes of locations and come back to a street scene etc when i find the conditions right for me.

I’ve started a website where the idea is to include other enthusiasts who can sell their work on printed, etc, all the profit goes to them. I sell a few of my own too. I have an ultimate plan but it’s not necessarily centred around me becoming a photographer. I’d rather teach youngsters in ‘disadvantaged’ areas and pass on my passion for the hobby as well as give people a chance to show their work, which i advertise and promote. It’s early days yet though and i’m still not sure if i’m being big headed or not!
