My photographic adventure started years ago, in 1973, when my father presented me with my first 35 mm SLR camera, a Yashica. I remember that I immediately joined a course to learn about the darkroom development of b&w photos. Also, I bought a compact Rollei camera to increase options at my disposal and entered in various b&w photographic contests (where I started distinguishing myself). My passion and desire to snap pictures grew and, at the beginning of the 80’s I bought an old Hasselblad 6x6 and used it to perform various photo features, indoor as well as outdoor. In the 80’s and 90’s I switched completely to slides and to Cibacrome printing performing photo features during my frequent travels abroad  countries such as  Burma,  Indonesia,  Thailand,  Sri

Lanka, Maldives and various European countries. During those travels I captured some of the portraits available on the pages of this web site (be warned that the quality of the conversion from slides to digital is not perfect). During 1998 I bought my first digital camera, an Olympus 1400L (1.4 mega pixels), which helped me to gradually transition from slides to digital and to learn the differences that digital brings to shooting and post-processing images. Currently I only take digital photographs. I specialized in landscapes, cityscapes, architecture and portrait photography. I also arrange digital photography courses.
