Bartek Kuzia. Get yours at bighugelabs.com/flickr

I was known before as morning_stiffy. It's a stupid nickname. I picked it in, let me think, I guess it was 1994, when the Internet was so young and I thought it was a cool nick to go by. That year, the hippest thing I did was smoke lots of pot and drop out of the university, so... not a good year for lifetime decisions. Please call me Bart.

I picked up photography as a hobby in 2004, when my daughter was born. Needless to say, my first few thousand pictures were quite mono-thematic. I gradually progressed to take pictures of other objects, then I found out about HDR. And I learned everything I know about it from this guy.

I'm a pretty busy man - I co-run an ad agency, which takes up most of my day. I use up what's left trying to be a good dad to my two kids. HDR is a perfect solution for me - I can get better results from worse locations. Plus it's less time consuming than playing in a hardcore band, the activity I had to give up one sad day. I still keep my Gibson and Dual Rectifier though, who knows what comes.

Places I want to go: Iceland. Badly.

I need to add, I'm a Browncoat. If you don't know what I'm talking about, do yourself a favor - get off Flickr and go rent a Firefly box set.

To my Flickr friends: thank you all for your comments and appreciation, as a newbie I really need them for encouragement. I'm sorry I don't add my photos to the award groups. I post my shots in few object/method-related groups (like HDR Skies or Sigma 10-20), and I got some vanity groups on the side.

Tech info: I shoot with Nikon D50, which is an entry-level DSLR. My lens: Sigma 10-20 mm plus two old Nikkors - 24-85 and 70-210.

I promise I'll try not to upload pictures of my adorable kids, but if you want to take a look, here's a collection.

    "I'm delighted to have "discovered" Bart who only joined flickr three months ago. His HDR work is extraordinary, both in quality and range of subject. Who else would think of making an hdr of a snail? He has also been very willing to share his opinions and expertise. Very few photostreams are as uniformly high quality as his."
