I don't know why photography, its just somethng I have always done. It can't be a genetic thing because no one else in my family shares this passion, but somehow I do feel its in my blood. Its part of who I am. I have no favourite subject, I just photograph what I see. I don't have an arty background, I studied the social sciences and nursing at university. All I can say is that like Sue, photography offers me an escape from the stresses and emotional baggage of nursing. Nothing else can take me away from myself and those pressures than raising a camera to my eye. I just mentally get myself into that zone where I am only conscious of my subject, everything else just disappears. It kind of sets me free. I guess for, for me, that's why photography.
