Have passed 38 years since I started working on my own as a photographer, but it's Only in recent years that my passion for photographic art has come back Really afloat. In 2011 I pulled out my old SLR cameras Nikon and Kodak and I ordered Ilford films….. Now I leave my equipment Digital at home and I venture to search for inspiration and take pictures.
"Make sure May they be damned beautiful! " …. Still echoes in my mind.
I know the Analogue photography, the wet negatives and the fingerprints of silvered jellies, They are the way forward to liberate that first love. "
