His influence and guidance brought me to photography at an early age as drawing and sketching was not so much my talent. I still remember his encouragement, his advice and practical help to see the world not only with my eyes but with my heart and brain. Soon I started to write about my experience, describing vividly what I was exploring. The world around me has become more beautiful, richer in detail and full of exiting discoveries, which have become treasured memories. The pictures I see tell to me to be their voice, their messenger. I now live in the south of France, the Provence, and I discovered what many impressionist found challenging; to capture the amazing light, the colours, the shades to create the picture I love. So much more to see, so much more to tell and so much more to share.view less
