Its an activity that takes up almost all my free time, my camera is an inseparable friend. I bought my first DSLR in 2009 and have been obsessed with photography ever since.
The creative act lasts but a brief moment, a lightning instant of give and take, just long enough for you to level the camera and to trap the fleeting prey in your little box. – Henri Cartier-Bresson
