As life goes on, photographing has been one of my hobbies with a activity varying from a manic to total lack of interest. If I recall it right, I was 13 when got my first apparat which deserves a name camera. So my career of seeing the world as pictures has started at least thirty years ago. All the photos of mine are free to any critic, that is one of the main reasons of making them public. So all feedback is welcome! And a keen buyer is most welcome also. I see my pictoral tongue mainly calm and static. My images are more painting-like and less a story tellers. I can't describe it; say is this bad of good, but anyway I recon that is my style. Long time ago, somebody asked my ex-wife about my photographing. "He shoots walls" was the answer. You can't find any technical details of the pictures here. I do not think those facts have any relevancy on the picture. I don't write down any data of specs used. No aperture/shutter time/lens/film/dev bla blah. Perhaps I'm just lazy and I admit that sometime's the data has it's benefits.
I have thoughts like this: as the dirt is just material in wrong place, for me photographing is a means to crop, assemble, simplify, reduce the view and move or convert it to more suitable form of inspection. As a rectangle to the wall. As a subject of a conversation -or just a element of the room, on the background.
