1. What I can't live without in my camera bag is... my 580EXII external flash, I've become quite attached to it lately now I've discovered just how incredibly useful it can be.

2. My idea of a perfect Sunday is… I confess I like to be very lazy on Sundays. Sleep in, have yummy brunch with my yummy husband, potter in the vege patch or walk on the beach with my camera. It's time to catch a breath before the next week begins.

3. The best thing about New Zealand is… that we don't live in a war zone, women are treated with respect and my children have the opportunity for bright futures.
Its not a perfect place, but it's a million conceptual miles from Afghanistan.

4. What makes me laugh out loud is…Green Wing. I usually pay very little attention to TV, but I laugh so much to that programe my face aches. (don't let the kids see it).

5. In five years I hope to be… well, I don't know but in four years time I plan to be back in Paris for a few months, so I guess in five years time I hope to be selling lots of photos because I will be broke by then.
