    If there is one thing I don't miss its petty office squabbles and cliques. I have been dragged into many disputes in past jobs and had to hand out my fair share of bollickings.

    Now I only have the cat to shout at.

    We have just finished out first full year as an ltd ...
    Loved every minute of it (Even dealing with David Brook ) we have turned over enough money for me to have earned a wage that has been enough to support (just about) my self and for the last 6 months Hannah without to much worry (just after Xmas and the begining April things got hairy, but we had enough money in the company to support it ... We get new clients moat weeks now ... Admitedly a lot through an agency ... But a lo off our own back! Despite the ressesion the company apears to still be growing... It's very stressful, very hard work, but actually I find it only makes me work better! I love it, and feel so greatful to be in a position to do what I love and spend every day learning new skills in web design and development ... And with the forum (although it doesn't make any money) I'm learning and improving my photography seemingly quite quickly too!
    Couldn't be happier!

    Great news, Hamish. Have you given up the hi-fi/TV store job, then?

    I keep meaning to join your forum but, to be honest, I feel a little inadequate as a photographer.

    Cheers Martin!

    Nope, still do a day a week in the shop Martin ... To be honest it's becoming more and more of a pain in the ass ... I usually have to make up for the lost hours ... But I just can't let go... It's just an enjoyable thing to do a day a week ... I'll have to pack it in soon I suppose ... the perks of having a direct conection to the trade are quite a sticking point too

    You shouldn't feel inadequate ... This is a factor that seems to put people off photography forums ... I can assure you we are all very welcoming and happy to help should you need it! ... It's really a great way to learn and get to grips with kit and what you want to achieve etc ... I learn new stuff on there most days ... Besides, some one of our members joined his only camera was an iPhone ... We have beginners to pros ... No one is judged, just helped to learn more and get better! And if for nothing else, we have Photographers from oz, south Africa, the west coast of USA, Germany ... All over so there is lot of interesting and inspiring photography to look at!
