Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect [Vincent Versace]

Hi there! [Updated for 2009]

I'm an amateur photographer from Buenos Aires, Argentina mostly interested in Landscape photography and panoramas. I use open source software and make all my stuff public.

I'm a positivist photographer, I try to avoid sad images. People are very rare in most of my pictures except of my family or special situations. I consider people as moving things that ruin my landscapes :)

I have a lot of pics in flickr. Maybe you want to start here since they are ordered by interestingness so I guess the good ones are first... who knows? (click on the image thumbs below)

I only use free software so you can just go and download these and experiment too.

I also use several Gimp plugins and I wrote a couple of Gimp scripts myself.
