Taking photos is extending a memory of what I see and enjoy remembering. Either travels, music concerts, ancient and modern architectural shapes, the candid domestic life with my furry family, simple walks, a stranger’s smile and happy moments. I don’t do sad moments, although I am captivated by abandoned places I search for the beauty in them, capturing what was left behind but once dear.

I love how photos tell stories and I get to tell them from afar through the lens. Being a bit anti social, I relish how the camera is my companion among the oblivious crowd.
