I am always cheerful, positive and with a killer smile ;)

I am originally from Latvia, but latest 6 years I am living in Italy. I have 3 beautiful girls and a wonderful family.

The photography became a big part in my life since 2003. But the beginning was already in 1991, taking photos occasionally with Canon autoboy (AF35), then changing to Sony DSC V-1 in 2004, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50 in 2007, that has guide my way to my 1st and not only one at the moment dSLR,- Pentax K10d (that crashed against the stone floor), now I am paired with a Pentax K20D.

The photography has been able to keep my attention for years because it is a continuous challenge and a wonderful hobby itself in my opinion. My favorite genre is a portrait photography (of my kids in particular and other family members, also of friends) and also a documentary photos about places I visit, and I am curious almost of everything, but Now I am starting to hate landscapes, I do need people!

I am happy to join the club of pentaxians. I'm considering to add the Pentax K5 (or the most probably the next one that will come out) to my camera bag asap.

At the moment my camera bag contain the following items:

    "A year ago I came across Irena’s photo stream and I was immediately struck by the diverse presentations she has. Crossing the spectrum Irena touches on all that is possible from stunning land and seascapes, architectural wonders, candids from life around her, and the very innocence and purity of her two beautiful girls.

    It is with pleasure that I travel with Irena through her photos. They are always presented from a unique perspective, with creation and beauty in mind, and I am never disappointed. I have a feeling of being there with each image I view. I like that, I know you will too."

    "Irena has a great eye for capturing beautiful scenes with subtleties of light, color, and shadow. I can feel her enthusiasm in all her work, and love her visual style of using deep colors offset by expressive shadows. She also has quite the gift of capturing her children in dramatic and often humorous poses. She's also been a great Flickr friend to share my passion for photography."
