Before I became an artist I was a full-time photographer – also art, just a different genre!  I loved photographing weddings and enjoyed the adrenaline rush of being in the moment and capturing the emotions and smiles.  But the wedding was just the starting point and the real work was the hours spent behind a screen to edit and sort and prepare the images.  I quickly found that just working tired my mind quickly and I would soon struggle to really focus on the job at hand.
