Hello the world!

I really began photo in a désuet palace, south of the Vosges mountains (France), managing a newspaper and learning camera obscura by the age of 17.
This was a step ahead compared to teenage times, blurry England or Greece taken with godmother's camera, a compact point-and-shoot mecanic , Konika Jump. Superb toy with rubber shutter button. I lost it.

As a student I owned a pentax Z20 : Autofocus came as a serious stuff for bigger projects. 5 years long I haunted the university club darkroom, equipped with a giant DURST color enlarger, dealing with ILFORD coated fibre papers.

The next, a canon Eos10, opened up for me the optics playground. I picked on several crappy zooms and a 2nd hand wide angle in amsterdam.

After some nomadic period using compact digital cameras in macro mode, I turned back re-discovering old canon primes EF100mmf/2 and EF24mmf/2.4, mounted on a nasty 350d, all i can afford.

I actually shoot 90% with an EF24mmf/2.4.
