About Marko_K / Marko Kivelä

I bought my first camera in May 2005. So, I'm a new photographer and just learning the basics.

Camera: Canon Ixus 40, Canon PowerShot S2 IS and now Canon EOS 450D (30.5.2008).

I have different reasons for taking photos. The most important are:
1. Memories - in order to remember places, people, etc.
2. Pure pleasure (landscapes, etc. It is a way I try to capture some of beautiful or uniqueness).
3. Collecting. I collect bugs, butterflies, spiders, etc. with my camera. That is the reason, why I put more than perfect photos of bugs in Flickr.
4. History. History is one of my hobbies and one form of this hobby is photography.
5. Artistic ambition? (Not really, not yet)

My comments:
- Excluding some ratings all my comments mean that I like photo.

And some numbers ;)

I'm Male and Taken.
