Who is Dorcas?....................10 things about Dorcas....................Stuff....................

I love being outdoors, showing people how their camera works and love seeing that gleam of inspiration light up when the guests come up with a cracking shot and I also enjoy my wistful moment of 'I wish I'd taken that!' but I would have it no other way.

I am self taught. My family lived in Kenya many moons ago and you just had to have a camera. So from going to instamatic to film to digital and always wildlife and landscape it has been a long wonderful journey of over 30 years.

My world is steeped in photography and I would like to pass that experience onto you.

I just look forward to meeting more of you.

take care

Stuff

I really enjoy discovering new things, usually from a friendly recommendation of the ‘you-have-got-to-see-this’ variety. So I thought that I’d give it a go.

These are just things that I really, really like, and wanted to share. More will be added each month, or as I think of them. Some of them you’ll know, others are a little more obscure. But then, that’s how we find new things…
