An Introduction

I call myself a photographer. Technically it's true. That's my job title; I take photographs daily for the website of a footwear company. But recently (well actually not at all recently, pretty much always) I've come to the realisation that I basically behave in the opposite way to the way I'm 'meant' to as a photographer.

I always leave the house without my camera; I don't keep my portfolio up to date (kinda hard if you don't have your camera so aren't taking pictures); I'm not a kit freak - I don't own a multitude of cameras, lenses, lights, and filters; in fact my full roster comprises of: 4 cameras, 6 lenses, 1 filter (polarising and only recently purchased!) 1 speedlite and a bendable bounce card. 
But perhaps the most important of all my non-photographer behaviour is that I don't experiment.
I know exactly why I don't. I'm afraid to fail. Yes yes, I know what they say about trying and failing, but let's face it, it's just easier to not bother!

Let's see if I can change that!

First step - take camera out and take some pictures...
