Jackie:  So – tell us about your photography – what do like to “shoot”, do u have gallery we can see?

Liza:  My favourites are old buildings/graveyards but I do a lot of candid shots also!

I entered my first competition last weekend which was great fun!

I always knew I was bipolar but it took 22 years for diagnosis. It was a long process as there were drug/alcohol problems to rule out.

Jackie:  what was the #photography #competition pic of?

Liza:  Yes I take photos of all 10 of my own animals most days!

It was to capture 24 hours in Bristol, my time slot was early morning. Bristol’s basically a non stop party!

Jackie:  What’s the best advice u’ve ever been given?

Liza:  Look back & learn from the past but don’t live in it, make plans but don’t live in tomorrow.

Jackie:  Who would be around your dinner table of positive thinkers?
