About me

Uncategorized

Well here I am, and this is my blog. I usually don’t like to write about myself but here is some short info about who am I and what I do.

My everyday life is quite a balance between my work and my free time spent either in shooting (not ducks) or exploring the upper levels of laziness. Being a web developer involved in many big projects holding a few companies together and working on my hobby websites, I don’t have much free time, but I tend to make the best of it.

I have always liked shooting people, even when I was 14 years old and took my father’s Praktica LTL with it’s 50mm 1.8 lens and made my first pictures of my girlfriend, I liked the idea of capturing those little moments of life, the expressions on people’s faces. After a lot of time playing with some little consumer or prosumer cameras I decided to buy my first dSLR a Canon 400D with the EF 50mm f/1.8 lens.

I am not a professional photographer, if I had to do this for life, wow… I would be broke by now. I am just happy that I make enough money to get almost all I need for my hobby. After all, for me the pleasure comes from getting that great shot that makes me look it again and again and again…
