Well I just turned up and rudely dived in without introducing myself so here goes...
I'm Vicky, living in Salisbury with husband, three not so little kids and Snowy the dog.
I've been taking pictures for about 5 years now, 99% film, and using anything from a diana to a hassy, I really do like it all.
I'm not sure how I got here but it seems like a place I'll enjoy hanging out and I'm looking forward to getting to know you (some names are already familiar from flickr).
Happy weekend to you all
Vicky.
oh and here's some pics which is really a better way to introduce myself :)

An official welcome Vicky :)
great to have you here and great pics too. I'm always in awe of good colour work 'cos I cant seem to do it.
we've been a bit quiet on the site recently, but there's a new collaboration and print exchange on the go, and if you haven't already, it's worth going over to the podcast page and listening to us droning on about rather important nothingness. (the guests are always top-notch though). Hopefully we'll get our respective acts together and do some more soon.
-
nice to see you here - been watching your flickr stream over the past 3 or so years. Great stuff ;-)
-
G'day from Down Under Vicky!
Gonna treat us to some lo-fi moonlit shots of the ruins at Old Sarum?
-
Bonjour and welcome Vicky ;D
-
Hellow. Great colour pics - I can't do them either. Or B&W for that matter!
-
Thanks, Leon.
And I'm liking that it's quieter here than the usual online experiences I have...it can get a bit overwhelming on flickr.
The collaboration sounds good and I'll add my name to the print swap too.
And I'll do my best with the podcasts :)
Hi gregor, and thank you :)
Ha, g'day sheetshooter!
lofi old sarum, but no moonlight :)

Bonjour Francois, thank you!
Helloooo Andrea, thanks...and i don't believe you :)
-
Thank you Vicky,
I was quite moved by the Flickr set of Old Sarum. A lot of sensitivity and emotion in your work.
-
Aw, thanks, I appreciate that, the same goes for you too.
-
Hello Vicky ... a big welcome.
Love the above. You're much braver than I ... took me a time before I mustered the courage to post any work. The standard here is so high. It is also a very pleasant place to be.
Looking forward to more good things from you.
-
The standard here is so high.
Probably so - it's just great to see you all posting and discussing analogue....
-
Thanks wavebeat :)
i like that fw's welcomes a mix of photography approaches here, i hope i fit in okay.
-
Hi Vicky, it's odd that I've not come across your stream before as I recognise plenty of the filmy commentors on there. Great Flickr stream, I'll be back to look again.
-
Welcome indeed. I much like your blurry face photograph... Skj.
-
hi tinm@n, thank you.
i guess i don't post to many groups anymore and flickr's a big place but i like that we cross over sometimes :)
hello skj, thanks, nice to be here.
-

-
Welcome Vicky,
great photos posted here and enjoyed watching your flickrstream, really great stuff, will have to get back to it.
-
heh, hi sean, thanks for the welcome :)
thanks salvo, it's a bit of a mix, i've been meaning to get a website together for a couple of years now and get things organised but everytime i try my brain freezes over.
-
Ah ha! Sweet Distin...know I know why I know you...if you see worrimean. Lovely stuff. Very glad to have you here and not just over on Fickle. I never warmed to the discussion side of things on Fickle. I like it that you can chat here.
-
Welcome. Love that first photo you posted.
Super duper lovely stuff on Flickr too.
-
aww, thanks ed and stu !!
i wasn't trying to go incognito, just didn't think to say :))
-
Welcome Vicky..I have been here about a year..I like the way everyone is so accepting of new people and especially like that we are not judged on our work! Love your Flickr work BTW! also your blog is wonderful..simple and to the point..
-
Thanks Diane :)
and though I'm not judging you on your work, I really love it, especially that petticoat hanging on the line, perfect!! :)
-
um, is there a list of who's on flickr anywhere, i'm never sure if i know you or not, if that makes sense?
-
Thank you very much Vicky! How nice of you to take the time to comment! I wanted to let you know I just added you to my list of interesting places on my blog..you are in good company! as far as Flickr..I am usually just lucky in finding people..I am Katznjamn on that site!
-
very good company, thank you :)
-
You have some great portraits on your blog - we need to see more of these!
-
thanks, i need to see more portraits too :)
i've got a mini exhib beginning of oct in a cafe as part of salisbury arts trail...i have no idea why i said i'd do it.
i'm listed as portraits but i think i'm going to have to put other work in too as i now have 2 weeks only (holiday coming up) to choose, print, frame, get flyers etc (possibly sort out basic website)...this is so typical of me..it will be fine but i can't seem to break being a last minute person, i keep thinking that i've learnt and next time will be different but it never is :)
-
Hi Vicky
You have a very nice body of work I especially like your soft colour portraits, good luck with your exhibition I'm sure it will be a success if your blog is anything to go by.
Good luck
regards
Mark
