About Me

My photo
Leeds, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I am a father of two, who has been a paramedic for 15 years and a professional photographer for around 5. That is until recently, from the 1st of May 2017 I will no longer work on the frontline full time. Instead I have made the transition from specialist paramedic to advanced practitioner and will be working full time in primary care. This blog will chart the development of myself from my current role of specialist paramedic to an advanced practitioner. In the last year I was diagnosed with Ankylosing spondylitis. Which is a degenerative condition which affects the spine. While this diagnosis saddened me obviously. It also came as a relief as I had struggled for over a year and had no idea what was wrong with me. So the diagnosis also came with some relief as I finally had a name to put to my condition. It did help me to look forward and consider a new career pathway. I am the first paramedic to work in primary care in my practice area. This is quite an accolade.

Gallery visits

I visited Skipton yesterday and was lucky enough to find a little gallery of the beaten path of the main high street.

I had a chat with the owner, who seemed like a lovely lady and asked what kind of work sold well and what did not. I have looked at small galleries in the past with a view to producing work to sell, the difference being between now and then is that I now feel my work is as good and in some cases better than some of the work on display in some galleries.

In a way this is an important milestone as it indicates my own self confidence is growing as is my self belief. I am looking at work on display in galleries more and more and thinking I that could and more importantly should do that ! I am also considering how I would like to produce my work more now, what type of product do I want to produce / sell.

I think it's important for me to start considering how I want to start printing and displaying my work. In particular what type of work would I like to try and sell ? Hence the recent research.

I have attached a few pictures that I
took inside the gallery.
