when what i see becomes an emotion
what is a photo (for me)
'when what i see becomes an emotion'
imagination flows
i pause what i am doing
the playing starts
composition, light and colors start moving
to shape a mystery
just humble joy
'my visual truth'

'if you move you learn you live'
over the years i took pictures
30.000 plus .. so think i enjoy it
randomly and with occasions
kids growing up, vacations, my sports, etc
had an analog SLR, a digital one, lenses
got a compact camera .. for my cycling trips
went through the usual busy stages of life
did read on and off about photography
but never really delved into it
then a period with my iphone as curious eye
enjoying so much playing with 'what i see'
from the first shoot till the edited photo
and now .. starting at the Foto Academie
'unleash my photo language'
