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.
