The Full Story

I was only 17 years old when I asked my father for a good camera as I was growing interest in photography. One evening he came home with a Nikon D60 with an 18-55mm lens and my journey started. After a short while I was really hungry to try the typical bokeh that you see in every amateur photographer's photos, so I bought a 50mm lens with an aperture of 2.0 and went crazy with it. Later on, once I was exposed to the Fujifilm XT30, I fell in love immediately and bought one, and to this day that camera is what makes me go take photos everyday. My wife, Razbar, had a Konica Pop camera that was left by her late father. It is a small, red, beautiful camera that takes 35mm films. Once I saw it, I had to give it a shot. From there, I started trying different films on the Konica. What you see on my website is the result of this story. Please enjoy. (A little tip, I love adding music to my photos, if you are interested to see what kind of combination of music and photographs I have made, go to my Instagram page and feast your eyes and ears.)
