Profile
When I was 10 years old, my dad gave me a Beirette – a camera with a Zeiss lens, but no automatics at all. This is where my love for photography started. Some years after that, I had a Pentax ME Super from 1976 with some different lenses. It broke 2 years ago and I decided to switch from film to digital photography.
Now I have a digital SLR camera (Pentax K10D Grand Prix edition with Tamron 18-250mmm lens), I recently discovered photoshop, and like experimenting with it…
Apart from that, I earn my money as international secretary and I like my cats, cooking, going to the movies, and surfing.
