“The blog I am writing for is mine, hope this is not a big issue for you
. You can easily find it at http://aphotomaniac.com (hosted on tumblr). So lets star…My name is Andrea Gracis, I am from Italy and photography is one of my favorite hobbies. I usually use a Canon EOS 450D and I prefer not to use photoshop or similar apps to edit my images – also because sometimes I do not have the time.
I started my “photoblog” project in December 2009 but my hobby started few years before. At the moment there are about 200 images: i want it to be a repository of only my “best” -I mean for me
For further information Andrea and his photography blog, you can follow this link http://aphotomaniac.com/about.
“I’m a bread-baking bike-riding fiddle-playing tent-pitching photo-snapping Edinburgher.
I got back into photography again early in 2008, when a friend asked me to use his digital SLR one evening, to take some pictures at the Celts in the Cotswolds annual festival. My favourite from the pictures I took that night is shown above – one of the guys in the fabulous Welsh band Mabon.
I’m enjoying experimenting with photography….”

“I’m Jennifer Squires Ross and together with my husband Darren Ross we run a small photography business out of our home in London, Ontario, Canada. I specialize in picture taking and picture making and Darren is fondly known as the CFO (chief fax operator). He takes care of administrative tasks, plus he makes a mean hot chocolate; earning himself extra brownie points at 5am when I’m off to a location shoot.
I’ve been photographing professionally since 1996, but I’ve been taking pictures my whole life. I hold two Diplomas in Photography from Fanshawe College, London, Ontario, and I was later asked back to teach. After college I began work as a Producer and First Assistant at a corporate and advertising studio in Toronto, Ontario. In 2005 I moved back to London to pursue freelance work, and opened my online shop in February 2008.
Photo Life Magazine listed me as one of 2009′s Emerging Photographers.”

Cole Rise has spent the better half of his life taking pleasure behind the lens; stalking cows and lying in the grass to capture the landscape. You may have seen his work in a few magazines, art blogs, CD covers and the like. He can’t tell you how big the universe is, or why we’re really here, but his work sometimes flirts with the idea of knowing.
“I am a female photographer residing in Dubai but Pakistani at heart. Photography is been my love and passion for a long time but i have recently started a photo blog for sharing my work in photography. I capture whatever i like and seems attractive to me then it could be nature, life, people, animal, landscapes, places or something abstract. So you ‘ll find a variety of photographs. Hope you like my work”, writes Ayesha Asim.

Rob Cooper is a fourth generation Zimbabwean born and raised on a farm south of Bulawayo, (‘Place of Slaughter’), the capital of Matabeleland. His great grandparents came up from South Africa in an oxwagon around 1900. After carving a cattle ranch out of the arid mopane scrubland of the Matopos Hills, they succumbed to Blackwater Fever and were buried side by side in the sand. Two of their great grandsons were murdered while working in the fields during the infamous Gukurahundi massacres in the 1980′s and the ranch was abandoned.
After a childhood spent hunting, fishing and riding in the dry savannah grasslands and leopard-infested kopjes of southern Matabeleland, Rob developed a passionate interest in conservation and a love for the magnificent landscapes and wildlife of Africa. This combined well with an interest in black and white photography which he developed while studying at Rhodes University in South Africa in the 1980′s.
When the crisis in Zimbabwe began in 2000, Rob was working as a photojournalist for the international news agency Associated Press. Some of the images he took are amongst the most famous photographs of this troubled time, used in newspapers and magazines around the world, as well as appearing on numerous book covers and the cover of Newsweek.
Rob now spends as much time as he can photographing the magnificent but endangered big game of Zimbabwe’s world-renowned national parks – Hwange, Mana
Pools and Gonarezhou.
The best of the photographs taken on these trips are now being offered for sale internationally as limited edition large black and white prints on fine-art paper or canvas. These are sold unframed, signed and numbered, and can be shipped to anywhere in the world.
