I am an amateur photograph that started 40 years ago with 35 mm film cameras. Currently, I work with a Minolta X-700, a Bronica SQ-B and a Chamonix CH45-F2. During the last years, I learned to develop B/W, color negatives (c41), and recently color positive film (e6). With time, I would like to learn to make my own prints.

My interests range from macro to nature photography. I enjoy abstract scenes, architectural subjects and portraits. I am excited by the endless possibilities that large format offers me to create magnificent images. My motto is "learning by doing". I am learning this art and related techniques from books written by Ansel Adams, Bruce Barnbaum, Chris Johnson and many others. I get inspiration also from Henri Cartier-Bresson, Edward Weston, Sebastião Salgado, Steve McCurry, among others.
