I fell in love with photography when I was a child.

Still love it. Still doing it.

It all started a long time ago—back when we used to chew parsley with gum so the white gum would change color and look “imported”, and when the radio on the wall had just one channel and its own special socket.

These days, when I have to introduce myself professionally, it sounds like this: documentary photographer and a bit of a doodler on the side.
