Getting To Know YOu! (Pepsieileen)
Eileen has kindly agreed to let us interview her! 
YOP: Eileen - Tell us how you got involved in photography?
Pepsieileen: Well when I was really young, I was extremely shy and hated getting my picture taken, I soon realized that if I was behind the camera, I would not be in the picture!! That's how it started now I just love taking pictures.
YOP: What in your opinion creates a great image?
Pepsieileen: I guess its in the eye of the beholder, I personally like landscapes, and Family portraits.
YOP: Who, if anyone has inspired you - photography or just generally?
Pepsieileen: Actually before I found YO! I would have said no-one!, but since joining the YO! family, there are a lot of folk on here who post tremendous pictures, so when I see theirs I try to go out and do the same myself, not always worth posting though. lol
So I would say you all inspire me!
YOP: Which type of photography do you find most enjoyable, or challenging, and why?
Pepsieileen: I think taking pictures of buildings is quite challenging as they can just look boring, you have to try and see the different angles to make them interesting.
YOP: What's your personal fave photograph?
Pepsieileen: Of my images? Well it has to be one I took of my nephew when he was quite young, he was playing on his go-cart, I was lying in the door way and snapped as he was passing, it came out really good, must try and scan it sometime, it was before I went Digital!
YOP: What camera/lenses do you use most of all, and why?
Pepsieileen: Since getting my Nikon it has to be the kit lens, But do need to get more lenses.....
YOP: What is the future of photography?
Pepsieileen: Now that's a good question, Things are progressing all the time, maybe in time we could take pictures just my blinking our eyes!

Nice one Eileen... I never would have thought you were shy 
Agree with you about inspiration too - Yoppers photos inspire me too!
Also apologies for the late reply, I was busy reloading the OS on my Mac
