About Myself

My parents immigrated to the United States in 1967 from Bulgaria. At that time
Bulgaria was under the communist rule of the USSR - Russia. They had a
long and hard journey. Upon reaching Italy, they had made contact with a refugee
camp and were there for approximately 9 months before they were allowed to
come to the Untied States. I was born in the United States shortly after.

As for me, I am an outgoing athletic type person. I like to ride and race bicycles
as a hobby in addition to my photography. I also weight lift somewhat regularly
and I like to ski. I particularly love to bike in Bulgaria when I am there visiting
relatives as well as taking as many meaningful pictures as I can of the different
sights that there is to see. I really like landscape, wild life and nature photography.
However, I want to expand toward photography with models; portrait, abstract, etc...
