About Me

Repose Photographics – Pet Photography has had quite a few new Facebook followers over the past week or two … welcome!
In fact I’ve just clicked over the 100 followers mark! which I’m quite proud of
This is a blog that I’ve re-written as it got lost when I was “playing around” with my google accounts and seems as good a time as any to re-post
I was “advised” … in a book? or online? I can’t remember which … to write an “about me” page for my website that really was about me … An easy task!
“I am a pre-start pet photography business based in the North East of England … Cleveland to be exact … Photography has been a deep rooted passion ... sometimes hidden, long before I persued any formal training” blah blah blah … all very good however … The “article” told how to write
an “about me” page that told everyone the real you! … Again … an easy task! … well …
after thinking about it, no … not really … it’s difficult to do an “about me” page without sounding too formal, or too informal
Black and white thinking! a character flaw as far as I’m concerned … there is always a grey! (60% for you “Photographer” followers ;-P)
I lead a very hectic life … always doing something for somebody … and if I’m not doing that I’m “Procrastinating” deciding what to do next and never “doing” I do a good job of skirting round
what I really want to do!
Due to being very self critical at times my passion will always be work in progress … to me at least, therefore I will never ever have the confidence to feel all my work is astounding or as good
as it could be .… however my ideas and what I consider “eye-popping” change daily so one day I see something and think wow! … The next I have moved onto something I see as even more exciting
To progress I need feedback … something I hope my Facebook and weblog followers will give me … Good, but far more importantly bad!
I recently read something that really struck a chord … “Soul … Soul is one of those things that you know when you see it … it’s about connection with a subject” … the subject I connect with the most … apart from my wife of course, are animals
I have shared my life with domestic animals … cats, dog’s, fish and at one point in my life, six abandoned “Willy Wag Tails” (check back in my blog archive for the full story … which
thank the lord doesn’t look as bad as it sounds after “Googling” it … assuming not everyone knows what a Willy Wag Tail is!)
I connected with each and every-one of them … ok the goldfish was a struggle however I did feed it and clean it out regularly before it passed away and then sadly went were most goldfishes are buried
It didn’t feel right burying it under soil in the back garden, it felt a bit like a fish out of water so to
speak … so he went down the toilet, I did do a little sailors whistle as he swirled away to sea … quite fitting I thought for a fish

Anyway … “Soul” … I feel I have it however, if I don’t ... I know what I like … and hopefully you will like it too
Each day I take a step closer to per-suing what I feel is a dream, my gorgeous Labradors Button and Sunny giving me boundless inspiration (and of course plenty of lens time) to reach it
However a wise man once said to me “slowly slowly catchy monkey” … actually, I said that to someone! So I guess I’m the wise man ;-)
So slowly, slowly it is … to realise my dreams
