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

Andrea. · « **Reply #5 on:** August 21, 2009, 10:45:55 PM »

Hellow. Great colour pics - I can't do them either. Or B&W for that matter!

vicky slater · « **Reply #6 on:** August 21, 2009, 10:50:06 PM »

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 :)

sheetshooter · « **Reply #7 on:** August 21, 2009, 11:03:42 PM »

Thank you Vicky,

I was quite moved by the Flickr set of Old Sarum. A lot of sensitivity and emotion in your work.

vicky slater · « **Reply #8 on:** August 21, 2009, 11:18:50 PM »

Aw, thanks, I appreciate that, the same goes for you too.

wavebeat · « **Reply #9 on:** August 22, 2009, 12:09:45 AM »

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.

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.

tinm@n · « **Reply #12 on:** August 22, 2009, 09:35:35 AM »

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.

Skorj · « **Reply #13 on:** August 22, 2009, 01:42:57 PM »

Welcome indeed. I much like your blurry face photograph... Skj.

vicky slater · « **Reply #14 on:** August 22, 2009, 03:21:30 PM »

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.

salvo · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2009, 04:04:41 PM »

Welcome Vicky,

vicky slater · « **Reply #20 on:** August 23, 2009, 06:46:39 PM »

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.

Ed Wenn · « **Reply #21 on:** August 25, 2009, 04:48:06 PM »

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.

Stu · « **Reply #22 on:** August 25, 2009, 05:07:50 PM »

Welcome. Love that first photo you posted.

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #24 on:** August 28, 2009, 09:42:46 PM »

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..

vicky slater · « **Reply #25 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:07:56 PM »

Thanks Diane :)
and though I'm not judging you on your work, I really love it, especially that petticoat hanging on the line, perfect!! :)

vicky slater · « **Reply #26 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:10:16 PM »

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?

Diane Peterson · « **Reply #27 on:** August 28, 2009, 10:46:47 PM »

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!

vicky slater · « **Reply #28 on:** August 29, 2009, 05:46:32 PM »

very good company, thank you

CarlRadford · « **Reply #29 on:** August 29, 2009, 08:08:03 PM »

You have some great portraits on your blog - we need to see more of these!

vicky slater · « **Reply #30 on:** September 08, 2009, 11:51:43 AM »

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 :)

Photo_Utopia · « **Reply #31 on:** September 08, 2009, 01:51:08 PM »

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
