I guess i was always fascinated with photography, i must have gotten it from my dad who at one point was a pro photographer. When i was younger i always used to take his old Minolta XE-7 and look thru it even though i did't understand it at all. I was very into video cameras and making home movies, but it wasn't until many years later on my trip to Madeira that i started taking photos seriously.
I noticed, and so did other people, that they were not bad. Especially for someone that supposedly didn't know what he was doing. And so i started "collecting" my own work if you would and kept on taking pictures. I am happy i did cause it is definitely a release valve for everyday life...
As you can imagine i have a whole range of Minolta cameras, from my dad's XE-7 for those black and whites to a 7D for these modern times. However i am most at home with my Dynax 7 whick is a blessing to work with...
I hope you like my work, and if not let me know, there is always room to grow...
