I have had quiet a few people pm me, wanting to by prints but without the watermark. If you wish to purchase a print without the bottom WM, PM me and I will upload a version suitable for prints.

I hate that I have had to resort to watermarks as I don't particularly like them but people keep stealing my art and claiming it as their own

I know you all understand

So after moving town I have been at a loss for some creative mojo...after the recent rain we've had, my garden is now full of mushrooms so I grabbed the 60mm and went shooting. After playing around with them tonight, I am beginning to wonder what I enjoy more...taking photos or editing... its a tough call sometimes! I love adding depth and texture to things, I find it adds a whole other dimension and feeling to some shots...and I seem to have a ting for mushrooms? They always have a whole other world thing going on, or maybe I have read far to many fairy tales in my time, either way, I love em!

I apologise in advance for not crediting any of the textures I have used, firstly, I got carried away and forgot to track what I used, and secondly, I have developed a slightly perverse addiction to textures and have amassed quiet a collection over the last 3 months and have kind of lost track of my filing system...If you recognise a texture, by all means let me know and I'll give credit where its due

Not sure where...or why..but i have lately lost all creativity and interest to take photos or to play with the thousands i have...I lost internet for 3 weeks, now I'm sick and work is stressing me...am hanging out for our holidays back home to re-ignite some passion. hopefully the change of pace and scenery will do the trick...am so glad i have you guys to moan and whinge too, even if no-one listens. it's good to get it out.

Am off to get lost in the world of deviants and find some inspiration! after all....tomorrow is another day...another moment to be seized!

Night all xo

Although i've been around DA a while now, Its only been recently that I have become an active particiapnt in the site, contributing my art, my pictures, my opinions and now...My sincere thanks.

I do what I do because I love it, its for my own enjoyment and pleasure but I'm in awe of how many other people like what I do...So a Big THANK YOU from the bottom of my . I don't always get to everyone to personally thank them for the or so this is a shout out to all those I have missed...

So having sleep on it, I have decided this year to do Project 52 - 1 great shot a week. last year I found myself getting to 11pm at night and realising  I hadn't taken a shot for the day so ended up photographing my jewellry or books or anything handy to shoot. I want to really try to use this project to improve my photography. Once a week will give me the chance to really learn about what im doing and give me time to develop the shot and technique....fingers crossed this works and I don't become bored with it again stay tuned
