I adore everything what has buttons, sliders or potentiometers...and I´m a photography addict.. :)
I was born in Miskolc Hungary, now I live in Budapest.

Photography was for me a hobby in my childhood. I developed black and white films and made prints in the elementary school (Cmena 8, Beirette, Zenit ET and Zenit 12XP), but later I began to loose interest sometime in my youth, because I didn’t had the money to develop my films and make enlargements. My films started collecting dust in the shelves. Some years ago my passion for photography returned when digital SLR cameras started to drop their prices, but my obsession for the film look never faded.

Cameras actually in use:

Canon EOS 5D classic + Canon EF f1.8/50
Canon EOS 550D + Sigma EX DC HSM f1.4/30
Panasonic GF1 with hacked firmware
Kodak EasyShare Sport Camera C123 (waterproof point and shoot)
Nikon FM2

Flexaret VI
Kodak Brownie

Zenit ET with Mir-1V 2.8/37mm M42 lens
Zenit 12XP with Jupiter 9 f2/85mm M42 lens
Smena 8 (Yeeeehaaaah! My first cam!)

Interresting quotes:

"If after a portrait shooting someone comes up to you and complains about how the sky is terribly blown out, turn around and smack them and tell that I told you to.

You’re shooting a portrait of someone, obviously the main focus of the photo is of the person, pet, or animal, yes? YES!!!!! A thousand times yes!"
Chris Gampat / The Phoblographer

"Everyone believes that their reality is the "real" one. Except the Jedi Knights.
They knew that your focus determines your reality. And my focus is locked at ten feet."
Kirk Tuck / The Visual Science Lab

"The cameras of the late eighties were definitely more plastic & more automated and then came autofocus and the end of civilisation!"
Paul Winter / NRIPN

"So why do I say I'm mentally ill, if I've bought only 3 lenses?
Because I DON'T EVEN HAVE any camera that can use them!
I don't suffer of any insanity. I just enjoy every moment of it!"
