    Biography: UPDATE from shez - May 2009

    Many of you will know the love I have for photography, and also DPC.

    The past 6 months, since November 2008, I have not taken any photographs or entered a challenge, due to my health issues. Just the other day, my husband gave me flowers for Mothers Day, and I looked at them with a sad heart.

    I had not taken a photo or used my camera for such a long time, but I felt I should give it a go. I got my Canon 350 out, that I had packed up, and added my favorite lenses, and took some photos of the flowers Peter had given me.

    A warm excited feeling come over me, and I know that the love of photography was still burning inside of me. It was a joyous feeling, and now know I may still be able to do some photography, when my health allows me to.

    Thank you, and I look forward to sharing some of my photography with you again soon..... love from shez


    Here is a little about me - My husband Peter, is my best friend, soul mate, and carer, and my life would be empty without him. Our eldest son Ryan is married to Lauren, and they had there first child, a son named Judd, on the 16-2-2007.

    Our other son Blake, is very happy with his life with his partner Kerry, and they also had a son Landon, on the 30-3-2008. We are so happy to have two beautiful grandsons. Both of our sons live in Melbourne, and we are very proud of both our boys, and there family.

    We are retired, and live in Caloundra, at the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland, Australia. We live in a village situation, and we planted a tropical garden out the back of our home. I spend most of my time taking photos of my favorite plants in our garden, my neighbours gardens, and also in our park.

    Both my husband and I, were born with a disability, known as "dwarfism", or we refer to it as someone with "short stature". I am only 4 feet in height, or about a meter. I love life, but have many other physical, as well as health issues, to deal with.

    I also have bone degenerative disease, similar to arthritis, and nerve damage to my spine. I also suffered a mini stroke at birth, and this is now causing sight, hearing, and nerve damage problems to my spine. I now have to use a walker to get around. I do not want sympathy, as I love life, and treat each and every day as the "best day of my life".

    Here is a list of my favorite photographers and who have become my very special friends.....
