I have been taking pictures (as an amateur) since 1968 when I bought my first Diana camera with my pocket money. After having owned other film cameras, I graduated to purely digital photography in 2007. I've come to realize that I tend to think very graphically, as a person - I read and write well but prefer seeing the "whole picture" so-to-speak; maybe this is why photography attracts me so much. I like doing street photography as it enables me to interact with people. I do however, also dabble in "miscellaneous" picture-making such as Landscapes, Conceptual or Abstract styles. Usually, I am opportunistic in my approach and take the picture if I like it visually in the instant; almost a spur-of-the-moment thing.
