About Me
Amateur photographer started almost 30 years ago for me. I got my first camera, a K100 Pentax (remember those) when I was 12 years old. Well, actually it was my Dad's camera, but he gave me artistic freedom to use it whenever I wanted and eventually it became mine. I remember how frustrating it was to wait for your prints before you could see what you got (if anything) and whether it was worth it.
I am addicted to the thrill of capturing a moment which I regard as a peak experience. I am my worst critic though, so those moments don't happen as frequently as I would like them to.
I currently shoot with a Canon, so off course some editing is always required, especially when shooting people to get the colour saturation right. But, generally I try to shoot for as little post editing as possible when conditions allow. I regard post editing as an artistic freedom of expression though - sometimes it makes good better and sometimes it makes boring fun.
