Hi everyone, I'm Mandy from Adelaide, South Australia. :action66:
I own a scrapbook business where I teach people to create gorgeous scrapbooks for their photos instead of just an bought slide in album!
I have loved taking photos since I got my first camera as a child, while living in PNG during the 70's. I still have the first photo I ever took of my brother (dressed in his cute little safari suit) standing on the Port Morseby dock as we waved goodbye to mum and dad as they left for a cruise. Of course it is all washed out and faded because of the film processing of the era, but I love it just the same! LOL! I was more than overjoyed when I was able to take the photos for his recent wedding, nearly 40 years later :)
My journey from that first photo is quite varied. Many cameras later I am now using a dslr ... and loving it! I have journeyed underwater to take photos while scuba diving, which adorn my family room with it's sea theme. I have traveled extensively and always take 1000's of photos, while my traveling companions only take 100's - but I don't miss anything and they are always envious of the shots I get.
I have just started the Diploma in Professional Photography online, which is how I found your site whilst researching information about equipment for the first assignment. I am hoping to start my own photography business in the near future.
I am looking forward to meeting you on the boards,
Mandy
