Hi there guys! Thank you for visiting my gallery.

I started with this hobby when that little boy behind me was born. That was in 2002 when I first bought my first SLR, a Nikon F9 film camera. All pictures that I took back then were shot in auto mode. I didn't have any clue about what aperture nor shutter speed were. I guess every dad goes through the same phase as I did. Especially when your wife is pregnant with your first born. Needless to say I have heaps of pictures of Franco, my son. However, I became frustrated with my output and started blaming the camera. Haha! So I placed my film camera in its little box and put it away indefinitely.

End of 2006. I saw one of my friends images using a DSLR and was totally blown away by his work! It was amazing! And I suddenly remembered I liked doing photography. So I bought my first DSLR, a Canon EOS 350D, and never stopped shooting pictures since. Today, after a series of upgrades I finally settled (really?) with a Canon 5D.

So these are my work and I truly appreciate your visiting my gallery. Please leave any comment or criticism if you find any of my images interesting.

Thank you very much!

Ben
