Your Bio

I am just me.

Photography is something I like to do as a hobby. It's usually fun, always challenging and has the unlimited potential for improvement.

Each time I shoot I have a specific aspect of photography that I want to work on and I let all the other components of making an image fall as they may...

When I look back now at things I made in the past, I see many things that I would have done differently. However, sometimes I also find that I lost something now that I liked in the past. That is the reason I am putting up everything that I chose to keep for some reason in the past, even the ones I don't like now.

I view life is a constant opportunity to learn new things. It does me no good to “show” improvement. I will only get better at something if I can “ask” whether I have improved.

When I review what I captured I select images that for some reason were significant to me at that time (sometimes I improved, sometimes I did not, sometimes I discovered something unexpected).
