Who'z fotodayz?
Who is Dorcas?....................10 things about Dorcas....................Stuff.................... Three years ago having been made redundant a few times and my CV looking like a section of the Yellow Pages, I realised the time had come to take matters into my own hands so I started fotodayz. It hasn't always been easy. Just as I got going the credit crunch arrived, a year of rain with guests taking shots under golf umbrellas (they were the ones who wanted to keep going even when my arms hurt!), and filters wafting off in the gentle gales and too many shortbreads - to keep out the cold obviously! But, I am so glad I started fotodayz. I love being outdoors, showing people how their camera works and love seeing that gleam of inspiration light up when the guests come up with a cracking shot and I also enjoy my wistful moment of 'I wish I'd taken that!' but I would have it no other way. I just look forward to meeting more of you. take care Dorcas 10 things about Dorcas 1. Dorcas is a female name. 2. I am co-carer of a Jack Russell called Daisy. 3. Is a Lincolnshire Yellow Belly 4.

So I thought that I’d give it a go. These are just things that I really, really like, and wanted to share. More will be added each month, or as I think of them. Some of them you’ll know, others are a little more obscure. But then, that’s how we find new things… Nice things to do on a Sunday 1. Wake up to a gorgeous sunrise 2.
