I am a young man enjoying life to the fullest.
I love to meet new people and if I'd have the chance I would travel the entire world making new friends.
To me, photography is a passion. It's always a challenge to catch that decisive moment in time and save it for the future.
I started with a little Fuji Film APS point-and-shoot camera, stepped up to a little digital Kodak 6230, loved my Canon S2IS and currently embracing my Konica-Minolta Alpha Sweet (5D).
I am born, raised and living in Paramaribo, SURINAME. A little nation in the north-east coast of South America, bordered by Guiana, French-Guiana and Brasil.
Suriname is a multi-cultural and diverse country. That's because in the ancient past people from all continents came in here.
Our spoken language is Dutch, because we were a colony of the Netherlands for over 300 years. Of course, we also have a common language called 'Sranan Tongo', which was developed by the slaves who were brought in here from Africa.
There is a lot more about Suriname.....

BJ Enright Photography says:
"Mario is a fellow devotee of the fabulously built KonicaMinolta Maxxum/Dynax/Alpha Sweet 5D. His appreciation for taking pictures of people is one of the reasons why he is one of my favorite photographers on Flickr, and makes me want to visit Suriname someday. He also has a great appreciation for vintage Minolta lenses, as I own three myself!"

"Hello,
Where are your testimonials? So, here is one from me to you. But you have to exuse me for my bad English.
I've seen all your pictures, and I love them. I think your an allround photographer. Your steam gives me an idea of the way of live in your country and some times you do it in a artisic way, see the "Coloured girl".
Then there are the people photos and the B&W pictures. They are fantastic.
I hope to see more..."17th January, 2007
