I can't remember when I took my first picture, I was probably 9 or 10 years old. I always liked it, but never put too much energy into it until a couple of years ago. First I shot with a film camera my mom owned and once she got a digital one (Sony Cyber-Shot) I used it quite often. When I moved from Switzerland to California I bought a good point and shoot camera, but soon after that I upgraded to a Sony A350 DSLR Camera and used it intensively for more than a year before I upgraded once more to a Canon 5D Mark II in December 2008. What a nice camera! Even though I am really interested in all directions of photography, a lot of my photos tend to be landscapes, but my hope is to do more with people!
