About myself...

I fell in love with photography at a very young age.First, I used my parents cameras:a Practika L and a Beirette RF and later a Wizen compact camera.

2001-my father bought me a Fuji-who dissapeared in a mysteriouse way, round 2005,when I used a digital camera for the first time: Sony DSC-L1.

2007-came Nikon D40 and things got seriouse.

May 2010-I recived a Seagull 4A and it fired up my passion for film-photography.
