Biography:

I discovered this site before I discovered the photographer in me.....I stumbled by this site back in 2004 when I was looking for a decent print to hang up on my empty white living room wall. As soon as I browsed the page I checked out the competitions and got very excited...My first submission was with a point and shoot camera...but I started enjoying it and got myself a NikonD70 which I somehow broke in 2007 and got a Sony alpha 350 as a birthday present from my parents in 2008 so I could continue to shoot :D Since then I have not improved that much which I blame on myself only because of too many hobbies which I never seem to have enough time for :D Life is exciting and there's so much to do...however I decided that I should concentrate more on my photography hobby now and am in for some serious improvement :D

Oh my god, I have got to learn so much, I am amazed by so much talent on this site...how could I have stayed away for this long? Stock Photography got to me and I neglected my artistic side.....willing to learn, eager to receive comments and feedback, don't be shy....tell it like it is as this is the only way for me to progress and I really want to play in the upper league at some stage :D so please help me getting there by leaving honest feedback, tips and ways to improve.....of course I wouldn't mind receiving positive comments....but only if genuine :D Thank you all for helping me improve!
