I started taking photos with my father's Zenit E camera when I was a kid. I went digital in early 2000s, but I never even tried to become a good photographer.
In 2024 I developed a newfound interest in photography and started taking more photos. I began to actually pay attention to composition, lighting, and the stories behind the images, which, to be honest, did not improve my pictures at first.
Still now and then I take a photo that I like, and then I share it either on my site, or on Glass.
I don't have a preferred genre; I like landscapes, birds, street, and everyday scenes. I don't do portraits, as I feel I wouldn't do justice to the subject.
I’ve been a Nikon shooter for 20 years. Along the way, I flirted with Micro Four Thirds, added Fujifilm to the mix, sold off my Panasonic gear, and eventually swapped Nikon for Sony. In the end, I came back to Micro Four Thirds—first with an IR-modified Olympus, then with another Olympus body, partly because they’re so small and charming.
If this long parade of gear taught me anything, it’s this: gear does matter—but far less than most people think.
Lately I've been dabbling in astrophotography. I'm captivated by deep space, and it's truly rewarding to watch images take shape from a telescope that stares into a darkness where the eye can see nothing.
