My interest in photography started when I was just ten years old, receiving my first camera as a Christmas present from my dad. It was a Konica Minolta AF-C (35mm film) with a data back that projected things like the date and time onto the negatives, and it had a flash that screwed onto the side—it was a true "Rolls-Royce" among compact cameras, and I was thrilled with it.
Since that day, photography has been something I’ve enjoyed, though like most people, I mostly engaged in it during holidays.
It wasn't until my wife gave me a DSLR in 2007 that my passion truly took off. Since then, I've explored different subjects, techniques, and visual styles, building up a broad range of experience in this almost endless field, which has brought me so much joy.
