About me:

First, let me tell you, i really enjoy photography and image related tasks & products.
Photography caught me at age 15 (1980) and has not left me since.
I had lens fever but i think it passed, i do enjoy using my gear to produce the best images i can, to show and share. I regularly try to improve my skills and enjoy sharing that with others too.
