A Letter To My Younger Self ContestAs the year begins to draw to a close, I'm keen to spark the inspiration and creativity that I sparked last year when the 'Letters To Me' contest was launched for a second time. Therefore I'm delighted to announce that for yet another year Letters-To-Myself is launching again. Please read the following rules and regs carefully. A Letter To My Younger Self The idea is that you write a letter to your younger self - thinking about what you would say, what you wouldn't say. But as always with these contests, we're not just looking at the theme. There are prizes for creativity, inspiration, community choice and humour. I did mine a few years ago, and I have done a revisit since, and it does work. So if you entered before this contest and want to write again - please do. Just make sure your entries are fresh and new. Start Date: December 1st 2011End Date: January 14th 2012Submission:Submission

People are getting desperate - gloves, tools, hides, camoflauge gear, ground sheets and water proof camo blankets were taken. To many people that doesn't seem like much, but actually it's a nice bit of equipment for discreet wildlife photography - and the fact that someone took the time and effort to unscrew the lock, and screw it back on afterwards - makes me really angry too.So yes - I'd love to try and shift some mounted prints, with every penny raised going towards replacing this kit which is around £300 - £500 worth of stuff. It's not an essential, it can b
