Event/person who influenced me and my work: No-one in particular. It was more a case of seeing something that caught my eye and going out and doing it for myself.

Anything else you would like to share with our readers?
For the newcomer, don't be afraid to ask the more experienced operators questions about equipment or working procedure - you won't learn anything if your mouth stays shut! Think about the story and to whom it may be of interest and think 'outside the box' from time to time - don't always follow the crowd but find a different hook to your story.
