I have been on here before ... twice!
It was taking too long to clear old photo's that I wanted gone so I decided to start again with a new profile.

Will I manage to keep going? possibly not but I will see how it goes.

A bit about me ...
I took early retirement in 2017 and now do mixed media art.
I love going to nature reserves with my camera but I suspect most of my photo's will be phone ones.
I have fibromyalgia, arthritis and epilepsy and art, crafts and photography are my "pain management".
I am part of a worldwide photoartistry community having lifetime access to the photoshop Artistry and the AWAKE photoart courses.
I love cooking!
I have six cats - the last one arrived on the 10th of January 2022.
I have a Wife and Son.

My photography style? ...
If there is a photography rule - break it. No one sets rules when it comes to art and I think of my photography as capturing memories or capturing things to use in art.
I have done photoshoots of all kinds and seriously considered doing it properly but getting late onset epilepsy put paid to that (couldn't drive for just over a year) and it was a blessing as it would have been a mistake.
I have my phone which is nearly always on me. I also have a Canon 6Di and a Canon 5diii. I have a few lenses but my favourite lens is my Canon 100-400 which was my treat to myself when I retired. My Sigma 105 macro and my nifty fifty are my other go to lenses which leaves my 28-105 which was my kit lens for my Canon 6Di.
I do have my original DLSR which is a Canon 1100 with a few lenses. I did keep it with some fun little extenders and filters for in the garden but I almost never use it now.

I use the name "Esta Moon Artistry" for my art things and you can check my out on Instagram, twitter and Facebook with that name.
I am also on Instagram with "albailey01" ... I put bits and bobs up on that account.

So that's me! ... oh and I am rubbish at keeping up with comments!
