Here a couple of my most popular pictures

I am a hobby photographer, who loves traveling near and far. I also enjoy good food at home or abroad. So my favorite times to take pictures are while traveling or cooking.

I started taking photos with 6 years with a camera my grandparents owned which would have films with 6 or 8 negatives and I owned my first camera with 8. I distinctly remember the first photo I was allowed to take with my Dad's SLR camera during a USA vacation in 1992 and I inherited my first SLR (analog) with 18 which broke 3-4 years later. Since then I was without camera.

I bought my first digital camera in 2005. I still ocasionally use my Canon EOS 20D even though I have by now upgraded to a Canon EOS 7D. I also own several Ixus cameras and of course a mobile phone that takes pictures.
