Photography is a snapshot of a Story
On daytime, I work as IT Analyst for a local Utility company. My other interests are: Reading (mostly Science-Fiction), Sports (Mountain and Road Biking, Spinning and Curling), Volunteering (United Way, MS Society of Alberta, Help-Portrait, etc...).
Like many photographers of my generation, I started with Point & Shoot cameras (think about a Low Resolution Digital Camera, then moved to "Prosumer" camera (HP, Canon) to finally invest on Olympus DSLRs (E500, E520, E30) before moving to Mirrorless cameras (Olympus E-PL2, EM-5, EM-1, EM-5 MK II, EM-1 MK II and Nikon Z50). I really appreciate the fact the mirrorless cameras small, light and perform well.
My tools of choice for editing are Adobe Photoshop, TopazLab and Nik filters.
