My passion to photography started back in elementary school when I got a pocket Fujifilm size-110 as a gift from my parents. I was a proud little boy taking as many pics as I could (and some of them, when I check today, still look cool!).

But it's not until a few years back when I studied my postgraduate in England that I learnt it seriously. I bought a used mechanical film-SLR Praktica, made in East Germany, and got very enthusiastic about it. I had my own portable "dark room" and developed my own films using chemical, temp control etc. I bought & sell accessories on eBay, and actually I made money from it! During school days-off, I drove my VW Golf to Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon (where Shakespeare once lived), Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scottish Highland, Wales, Yorkshire, and basically every corner of Britain. In Wales, apart from the stunning bay of Ceredigeon, I found the most insane, longest name of town that the world can have: "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrn-drobwllllantysiliogogogoch" ... which in English translates to "St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave" :))

Having finished my masters, I went digital and started to travel back to Europe making adventures. Starting from Amsterdam & Paris, the list went on year by year: Barcelona, Zaragoza, Madrid, Cologne, Cordoba, Toledo, Rome, Venice, New Orleans, Boston, New York, Athens, Santorini, Prague, Bratislava, Salzburg, Trieste, Portoroz, Ljulbljana, Budapest, Szolnok, Mezotur ... and the last lovely place I visited was: Transylvania! I literally fell in love with the region and its Dracula root..

I love to travel much so I can express my passion to photography, take adventurous challenges (I encounter new experiences in every new trip!) and meet good friends around the globe (and make photo sessions with some of them)....

Soooooo... I dare you to become my contact to share your experiences with me!
