Member since: Saturday, August 23, 2008
I have started taking photos in 2005 in Malaysia with a small compact camera in one hand and a big torch in the other one ... good memories. As a biology teacher I was first interested in taking identification pictures.

After having used a Canon G9 (2008-2010) with satisfaction, I use a Nikon D7000 with different lenses and two Subtronic pro160 strobes from April 2011.

A special thank to my wife (my favorite buddy), who (when she is in a good mood :-)) accepts to be my model even if she takes pictures as well.
