I have mental health issues and have had them all of my adult life . This has prevented me from working. I would not bother you and get a loan. However being disabled it is pretty much impossible. Being on benefits means I do not pay tax. The lenders know this and make sure disabled persons stumble at the first question. This usually is this : How much do you earn before tax. As we do not pay tax I cannot answer.. Loan halted at the first question
Anyway.
16 years ago I became involved in photography. I joined a camera club read photography books and was able to purchase a half decent Leica camera. A digilux 3 it was called. However after 16yrs of usage it no longer works and is lacking in technology. I like to get out with my camera regularly at least once a week weather permitting and am competent in photo editing software (photoshop).
The type of photography I like is varied. I like landscape photography. and love to photograph the rugged landscapes of Shetland where I live. I also like to photograph wild life. Mainly birds. I photograph puffins in the season and love to photograph wading birds such as Dunlin and Ringed plover. Also I like Macro photography, photographing wild flowers and fungi.
I edit these and send them by email to family in England and my girlfriend in Poland. I have been looking at Hasselblad X2D 100c camera and lenses and think that this is my next step forward photographically.
Photography after 16yrs has become a part of my life. I send emails everyday and have done all these years. As I have said already that I have read many photography books. I also have had to read books on the subjects I photograph. Bird books so I Know The birds names. Flowers so I Know their names and even just recently a book on fungi so I know the types of fungi.
I also have a printer and from time to time to time print my photographs and frame and put them on numerous walls in my appartement. But I mainly email. I have on external hard drives thousand upon thousands of photographs I have taken and edited over the years too.
It is a great hobby that keeps me occupied and gives me a reason to get out and about. I hope that you can help my cause and that soon I will be out and about with my new camera.
Thank you
Mr Marc Cawood
