In Her Own Words
About her
I love my career as a photographer, and when I'm not working taking photos I'm usually taking photos.
My other great obsession, I mean passion, is water. I find that there's rarely a moment of any day which wouldn't be improved by being in water. I have been known to go straight from a long swim down a river to a hot tub and on to the bath.
I'm even combining both passions with a project on outdoor and Channel swimming - so far no cameras have drowned, although one did spend a few hours on the bottom of a riverbed in Devon.
When I'm not bothering pixels or fish I'm very fond of the V&A, ICA and Tate Modern, love to travel anywhere (especially tropical beaches) and enjoy hanging out for lazy evenings with my lovely friends in our book club (= supper club).
About her ideal match
I'd love to meet someone easygoing, with cheeky giggles and twinkling eyes, who's up for fun and frolics. An interest in (or tolerance for) photography would definitely help, as would a love of being in or around water.
Although I'd rather meet someone open to different lives and likes than someone who happens to enjoy the same stuff as me - it's wonderful to find passionate people who can share their passion with you, whatever it might be.
And, to be terribly uncool, caring is so important to me - about people, about the plastic in the sea and about the idiot in the White House.
What Her Friends Say
Allison said...
Teresa Marie is the girl I wanted to be when I grew up: smart, cool, kind, funny and absolutely stunning. She's been one of my best friends for over a decade because she has all the qualities I want in a friend - she makes me laugh, she's supportive and there's never, ever a dull moment.
So what do you need to know in a nutshell?
* She's adventurous and always up for trying something new (as long as it doesn't involve goldfish), diving in before asking how deep it is.
* She has a love of far-flung places and meeting different people in their different worlds. Her job as a photographer has taken her to many exotic locations - from Butlins to Baghdad.
* She's enthusiastic and always 100% committed whether it's sessions on a bar stool or sessions in the swimming pool (she describes her pre-triathlon San Miguels as 'carb loading').
* She's kind, caring but always brave enough to be honest with those she loves, a rare quality in a friend.
* She's whip-smart, belly-laugh funny and always interesting.
* Oh, and did I mention, she's tall, slim, gorgeous and blonde.
