I started photography in 1978 with a Fujica ST605 SLR mainly for sports (motorcycle races in Europe). Native of Switzerland with Italian ancestry. In the 80s of last century I moved on to street photography mostly in the New York area and especially a new form of sports photography (Drag Racing). Most of my pictures are, however, travel related. I consider myself an occasional hobby photographer. On Nov. 18, 2022, I switched from my old Fujifilm X-T1 to the X-T5.
