Photography has been my on and off hobby since the age of 14, when I got my first camera - a LOMO - as a birthday gift from my father, an avid photographer. He taught me most of the essential photography and dark room skills.

I bought my first DSLR just a few years ago, and I am still in a process of learning to use it to its full potential.

For gear geeks:

I shoot with Olympus E-3.

My lenses - Zuiko Digital 14-54mm MK I f2.8-3.5, Zuiko Digital 11-22mm and Zuiko Digital 70-300mm.

I also have an old Industar-61 50mm f2.8 macro M42 lens, and the latest addition - SMC Super Takumar 50mm f1.4 M42 lens.
