This is her showcase and a deserved one. She not only makes sure the forum ticks nicely, Yvonne does a lot of work behind the scenes that people don't notice.
From me and the rest of the admin guys and the forum. Thank you.
You now know the rest, great pictures and some background from Yvonne herself.
I have no Art background that I could be proud to tell you about and the only art was done at school apart from drawing on the walls at home when my Mother had stripped off the wall paper. I had loads of paint as my step brother worked at Reeves and I can remember all these small blocks of paint that I had and just wasted.
You could say I have been around photography for most of my life from 20 onwards my then Husband being a manager of a photographic shop we always had the latest camera for use. We also several years later had a wedding and portrait business run by 4 of us.
After the inevitable I started a small wool shop and amongst other things knitted Arran sweaters ( by Hand) sending them to the USA for my aunt to sell to order. I could make one in a week and did quite well
Then came the fluctuation in wool prices so it wasn’t working financially I had to give it up and went to work for the big K their B companies to start with they had labs over most of the country. I remained there for 23 years until retirement.
I was given a Kodak DC210 as a leaving gift it was a bit of a dog really but a start, at the time we were spending more time at our Villa in Cyprus so I had a computer built. The Guy that built it put on several programs (as they do out there) and one of them happened to be PS 4 or 5 I could only manage a couple of clicks here and there and purchased a Barry Beckham tutorial joined a forum where I met several splitting Pixels members the rest they say is History
