I design and create soft sculpted animals for collectors. A lot of the design work stems from nature so I carry a camera wherever I go and take photos for ideas, inspiration, memories or just for the joy of doing so.

My husband is just as bad so between us we carry two video cameras, a Panasonic WA2 Waterproof and a Sony HDR CX580V plus a Fuji Finepix S9500 and a new Canon EOS 70D on most trips outdoors.

However we have also used older EOS cameras like my old film EOS and a 10D which had to be replaced this year because it started to corrupt photos. Plus like most people we have had other SLR's for example a Nikon and an Olympus E plus an assortment of mobile phones so its quite possible that favourite pictures from any of those could make it on here if I ever get time to wade through them.
