Diary/Journal I gained a Distinction from the Royal Photographic Society (LRPS)

Pin It
The time has finally come when I can tell you all about my news! I went away to Bath last week to submit a panel of pictures to the Royal Photographic Society and I gained a Licentiate Distinction so now have the letters LRPS after my name!



I don't think I've ever been so nervous (apart from my wedding day where I turned in to a quivering wreck!) I only told a few family members and a few very close friends what I was doing as I wanted to stay as calm as possible and didn't want to tempt fate!

I was really nervous about my panel of images as it was quite different to most that are submitted. It ran as one long line of 10 images and most people submit panels with 2 rows of 5 images.

I was warned that there had only been 2 successful panels that had been displayed this way before but I felt my panel had a strong reason to be displayed like this, I just want sure wasn't sure what the judges would think!



My weeks of panic and nervousness soon turned in to excitement when I heard all the positive comments from the judges, I just wish I could remember every word they said! My mind was going haywire but they loved my work and I felt so relieved!

I was told not to publish anything about it online until I received my confirmation letter so have been having a really hard job keeping quiet now the nerves have gone!



I was over the moon when I received the confirmation email and even more excited when I received an email asking if my images and hanging plan could be used on the Royal Photography Societys website. They said that they only pick a handful of examples from those successful so this is a real honour!.

I've included the hanging plan and pictures below so you can see!

My New Wacom Inkling Pen

Pin It
Woohoo I’ve just popped out and bought myself a new Wacom Inkling Pen (I’m such a gadget geek!)

It’s going to make my creative life so much easier as I can sketch pictures in a normal notepad then convert them to Photoshop files in an instant ……….. I just have to wait 3 hours for it to charge now!!

It’ll save so much time in the future and make my old(ish) scanner redundant but at least I now have something that fits in my pocket!

Here’s a video of the ‘inklink pen’ if you have no idea what i’m talking about. I have a feeling my new gadget will replace my pencil and become another part of my body in no time!

I’ll keep you all posted and let you know how I get on!

A cat writes – Sport

Pin It



Hi all it’s Satan the Cat again. I just had to pop on and tell you some news.

Pixie’s Dad has been very pleased lately about sport (he is a big fan of sport). Cats are not usually very interested in sport (except mouse-catching) but even I got quite excited about it over the past few months so thought I’d write a blog.


In the summer we held the Olympics – which were absolutely brilliant! and the Paralympics – also absolutely brilliant! The best ever! (Mitt Romney came over here from the USA and was very rude, telling everyone that we could not organize it properly – well, Pixie’s Dad said that we organized the Olympics much better than he organized his election campaign). One of our team (Matt) was a Games Maker – we were all very proud of him and all of the Games Makers who did such an absolutely wonderful job. It all made me purr with delight!


The other day our rugby team beat the great All Blacks (apparently black is an excellent colour for rugby kit as well as for cats) and after a disappointing start our cricket team is doing well in India – Pixie’s Dad says good old Alistair Cook and the lads!


And what a big surprise about Arsenal losing on penalties last night to Bradford I watched most of the match from behind the sofa!


All this talk of sport is making me feel quite worn out, so I think it is time for a little nap.
