When you are looking for inspiration, where do you go? 

I find inspiration all around me. I take my camera everywhere in case that "magic" opportunity arises.

Summer or winter? 

Actually, I love autumn and spring! But all seasons hold their own special appeal.

What’s the key to doing what you love AND making a living? 

I am new to photography but now that I am retired, I have the chance to devote more time to photography and I don't have to worry about the making a living bit! I am also taking the opportunity to take some photography courses to improve my technical skills (which are pretty basic at the moment!).

My dream vacation is...

snorkelling in the Maldives, or travelling around India or other interesting locations for photography. I just came back from a photography holiday in Cambodia and it was absolutely amazing.
