# About me

I am not a professional photographer, but I've been taking photos since I can remember and I always enjoyed it a lot. My father has also been a hobbyist photographer for the past 30+ years, although way, way more skilled than me, and he taught me a few tricks along the way, even though I am more of a learn-by-doing and trial-and-error kind of person. I think that's rather eviden from the evolution in my gallery, which I'm kind of proud of, if I may say that
I hope you will enjoy my photographs and I'd be very happy to receive any kind of comment or critique; I think they are important to grow artistically and to improve the way a person relates to his own works, thus dealing with their negative aspects too.

On a side note, I also enjoy writing, mostly fan fictions, fantasy and noir/thrillers

Thanks for the llama


I knew a llama once. At least I thought I knew him. I mean, how well can anyone really know anyone, much less a llama. With their air of mystery and thinly veiled contempt. It’s hard. But I digress.

His name was Kevin. But for reasons I will never understand, he would only ever answer to Albert. Identity issues aside, things started out okay. The usual introductory sniffing and sneezing went well, despite his allergies, but then things started going downhill during the ritual licking phase of the pleasantries. We pushed through. And had it not been for the spitting, we might have even been able to make it work, but alas, after just 3 seconds of bittersweet brotherhood, we finally decided to part ways. It’s kind of sad, when you think about it. Spitting seems like such an innocent thing to fight over, but he was pretty adamant that I should stop and that was just never going to happen. We might have overcome that issue, but Kevin, like all llamas, was very competitive. First came the stench competitions. Then it was belching contests. And lastly, a painstaking count to see which one was hairier. You can clearly see why our relationship was doomed. The poor fellow was a bit of a sore loser.

So he snuck out, taking with him a failed friendship, an obliviously optimistic dread of the future, and my sixth favorite toothbrush. Now that he is gone, I can honestly say, it's for the best. He was too much of a chick magnet anyway and who needs that drama?


Full disclaimer, as Kevin’s official biographer, a position of which he blackmailed me into (don’t ask), I’ve been instructed to inform you about his ongoing series. The journey starts here with  The Kevin Chronicles - Chapter 1, and  this gallery contains the rest. You should check it out.


*End of cue card*


And don't worry, they're pretty short.

No pressure though, only if you want.
