◄Halogen¶╝'s photostream

Hello!
I was encouraged to start after taking many, many photos during a trip to Japan. Prior to that, I had no interest in photography whatsoever, and never considered myself to be artistic in any way. (I still don't think I'm creative!).
In October 2008, I attended a photography course and bought my first camera. My journey since has been fun and very rewarding, thanks to the people around me.
Someone once said that photography is actually 2 hobbies - taking pictures, and collecting gear. I am trying very hard not to indulge in the latter, only the former...
My collection consists of :
- Canon IXUS 70 (the one that started it all)
- Olympus E520 (my first DSLR)
- Olympus ZD 14-42mm
- Olympus ZD 40-150mm
- Olympus ZD 9-18mm
- Olympus ZD 14-54mm Mk II
- Nikon E-Series 50mm f1.8 Pancake (sold)
- Olympus OM 50mm f1.4 (sold)
- Olympus OM 50mm f1.8
- Nikon Nikkor-O 35mm f2.0
- Nikon Nikkor-S 55mm f1.2
- Nikon Nikkor 85mm f2.0
Update (Jan 2012) :
I just added a Canon 5D (Mk1) and Sigma 15-30mm to the collection.
Check out my most interesting photos, or view my stream on Fluidr or Hivemind.
Thanks for visiting!

"I really appreciate the imaginative point of views Halogen manages to find with his images. I am attracted to his work because of the high standard of photography which I spend time enjoying.
His work then builds in me a desire to travel to his part of the world and see for myself what images I could capture in this fascinating part of the world."2nd April, 2010
