I have one basic philosophy about life: it has taken me since the beginnning of the Universe to get to who and where I am, so therefore no moment will be wasted. Structured by the Universe into something I can not quite define, I am searching for something, I guess.
Mainly a writer, I have only recently begun taking photographs, and currently am using a very unstable digitial camera. I use no effects apart form the odd black and white shot, and do not use Photoshop or any other program to enhance themages; although occasionally a little tweak on the contrast helps, but still , I rarely use. So, any comments or suggestions from more experienced hands will be greatly appreciated ;-)
I am fascinated by the urban environment and all that passes before our eyes in the cityscape of the twenty first century. Being an amateur, though, it will take me a while to truly to be able to capture the images I desire and display the world that I view. Living in Paris I guess I still feel like a visitor, and feel that a few of my images refelct this city that will forever be fresh and strange to my tired eyes.
