Hi All,
I have heard back from our February Judge Nicole Curtis with a little information about her journey with photography, which is as follows:

I first joined Maitland club in the mid 2000’s after I’d returned from India and Nepal with some images from my old canon camera. I have a visual art background but joining the camera club taught me a lot about the technical aspects of photography. I am interested in photography that evokes emotion or shows the viewer a new perspective of aspect of a visual concept. I am currently in the process of completing a PhD in visual learning and am also assistant principal at Rutherford public school.
