My early years (long ago) were Black & White, spending time in the darkroom, learning the basics of shooting, developing & printing with a little help from my friends.
Went digital about around 2005 with a D70. Went out shooting & experimenting. Joined a local camera club a year later & started improving with feedback from a critique group.
Major frustrations are lighting & printing. Reading is slow, so plan to take courses to fix this issue. “Show me” usually works best for me.
Ultimate goal – produce that one masterpiece. Then I’ll go about making a second one.
In the meantime, I’ve taken up this 365 Challenge – take a picture a day and post it. A personal challenge inspired by a couple of folks at my camera club, it’s designed to get me out and shooting.
Paul Dickie Creative Photography 365 Challenge 
Paul Dickie…this is a ghost from your distant past. I’m so, so, so glad you stuck with your photography. Your work is wonderful. You have an artist’s eye and I couldn’t be happier for you. I’m following your 365 Challenge and wish you the best in finding your “masterpiece”. Bravo!
It looks like you’re on a similar quest to me. Good luck with it. It has certainly inspired me to take more photos which is one reason I decided to do it.
Thanks also for dropping by and following my blog. Much appreciated

Thanks for following my blog. I hope you continue to like what you see and (if you have time!) please feel free to comment as all feedback and opinions are much appreciated.
Thanks for your comments Noeline. It has been a challenge to keep up the daily shooting, but the intended goal – get out and get it done – seems to have worked. I look forward to the change of pace in a few weeks’ time when this phase ends.
