About Dot

Hi there, I’m Dot.  Born and bred, and lived most of my life in and around Edinburgh, Scotland.

Photography has always been part of my life as I have early memories of my dad making a record of family holidays and events at every opportunity with both his stills and cine camera.  By the age of 10 I had my very own Kodak 110 and immediately put it to good use whenever pocket-money would allow the cost of developing! 

And so the journey began. . . progressing through a number of different cameras over the years.

Jumping forward to 2009, I invested in my first DSLR, decided to take a Diploma with the Photography Institute to update my knowledge and then went on to launch my own photography business in September 2010.

I also work part-time as a Preschool Gymnastics Coach.  Home life is busy with my fantastic hubby and 2 great teenage kids (a son who plays the bagpipes and a daughter who sings, dances and acts).  Apart from photography my hobbies include travel (particularly to the USA), Girlguiding (I was a Brownie Leader for 27 years), going to music gigs with my husband and singing in a choir.

Project 52 is designed to make Sammee and me get out there, interpret a theme in our own way and then share our end product with you via this blog.

I hope you see things you enjoy over the coming year and that it might even inspire some of you to try something similar.

Cheers,

Dot
