It is all about communication. Here, my grandson and I have one of our deep conversations.
Photography is an integral part of my life. I got my first camera at twelve and have taken pictures ever since.
After I retired from the oil and gas industry, I devoted most of my time to photography. The most important value I brought from my earlier working life, is that quality down to the smallest detail is of utmost importance for a good result.
It was therefore essential for me to learn the trade from the bottom, both in practical and theoretical terms. It also means having the right tools and understanding how to use them in every situation.
