    I must be your only subscriber actively avoiding starting a business, even a part time one on the side. I give all my digital prints away to a charity, I was told on Thursday how much they have raised which I was really pleased about, and my analogue images are just for me and my family. In truth I most play about with them in the darkroom and then throw the prints out. I don’t post anywhere online, and I won’t take on any commitments as I have a fear of letting people down. I told someone that I’d get her some images of the swans from last year's migration then promptly got pneumonia...again. Great video as always, I enjoyed hearing your journey and you and Dan (Den?) look a great couple. I have no idea why anyone would give you a thumb down for this video, you did exactly what the title said. What exactly is freeing to death in Australia?

    That's so sweet that you give away your prints to charity! If you like printing photos in the darkroom, maybe you could get a little folder to collect them and have a flick through them in a few years time to see all the photos you were working on :) Or perhaps you already do that! And thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video. Freezing in Australia honestly isn't that bad.. it doesn't even snow here haha but sometimes the winds can really pick up throughout the winter which makes it really hard to want to go outside!

    Julia Trotti The charity is incredibly important to me, when I acquired my condition I lost my job working in a forensic learning disability which I loved. I just wasn’t physically capable of working with some very dangerous people. With that went a lot of my self worth and I was advised to do voluntary work at the charity because of my law degree and background. Not only did I get my self worth back, but I got employed as an advisor for two days a week which I can manage and best of all it’s where I met my wife. Giving them my prints, no matter how much they raise is insignificant compared to what they have given me. Not very photography related but it explains why I give my prints away. The colour and 120 negs are all scanned into my computer, it’s only the black and white 35mm I play around with.

I really love being outside and capturing the beauty of this planet but I feel like with "general" photography, that is not done for specific people (like headshots, weddings, baby showers, etc.) It is way harder to turn it into a full time job 😕
