I take pictures because I like to look at the world around me -
.....small things and big things,
..........natural things and man-made things,
...............common things and weird things
....................old things and new things
.........................real things and fake things
..............................beautiful and ugly(?) things
...................................city and landscape
........................................people and objects

I like how different things can look, how real or unreal, depending on light and shade and reflection, or on how they are framed in the picture.

I like to take pictures to remember places and moments which were important to me, but also to discover what I couldn't see so well with my own eyes.

I like to look at other people's pictures. I don't know that much about photography myself, I just follow my curiosity and fantasy, and let myself get inspired through the examples of others.

Recently I have started making pictures instead of taking them, exploring the possibilities of digital art, fascinated by the endless variety of shapes and colours which pop up on the screen in front of me through a few moves of mouse and keys.

I like pictures but I also like words and music... so many ways to keep in touch!

I am male, gay, over 50, European.
