Welcome to my site 🙂 I always enjoyed taking photos since I was a small kid. I remember once I asked my mum to take photos of my toy soldiers, thinking that I could make people believe that the photos I took where in a real war zone :p
Why photography? I don’t consider myself as much of a writer even if I do write on a daily basis on my journal. I feel that through photography I can see, capture and share what I find interesting. Through photography I am sharing what my mind is impressed with. Photography for me is a means to contribute to the world of art.
I feel that we are lucky to live in a world that there is so much to see…so much beauty and so many stories to tell. I am lucky to be one of those story tellers. Why am I a story teller? Because instead of a pen I use my camera and instead of paper I use photographic printing paper. Instead of a rubber I use Photoshop and to enhance colour instead of colouring pencils I have Lightroom. Through this comparison I can even change the quote “the pen is stronger than the sword” to “the camera is stronger than the sword”… and in so many ways this is true.
I hope that you will keep on visiting my site and that one day I’ll get to know you 🙂
