Introduction
Hello there!
Firstly, please note that this is a side account dedicated to my new interest for digital photography. Why a side account? Simply because most of my watchers watch my account for digital painting and other illustrations. I don't want to annoy them by flooding my main gallery with material that won't interest them.

If you need to contact me, please do so on my main account:

I have no pretension, photography is a simple hobby for me, digital painting is my game, but I took a few classes back in my college days (both in the field and in studio) and I kept a soft spot for the media. With a diplomed photographer as a sister and a boyfriend willing to play assistant, it was only a matter of time before I finally tried my hand at it too. I hope this new experience will help me and teach me a few new tricks.

About comments, critics and favs
Of course comments and favs are always loved but what I love even more is a good, helpful critic so don't be afraid to post those. I'm far from perfect and can only learn from my mistakes.

About stock photographs
I'm usually not putting pictures avalable in the stock section of the site but I'm very open to stock requests. If you want to use one of my pictures for a non commercial project, just ask me first and chances are I'll say yes.
I expect proper credit for the use of anything from my stock material.

About my material
I'm an amateur. I'm using cheap stuff.
Some of my older stuff, going back to college days, were done with an old Minolta for film photography and a Fuji Finepix for digital. Later, I either borrowed my sister's Nikon (film) of my mother's cheap, brandless digital camera.
I finally bought my own digital camera, an humble Fuji Finepix s700. I'm currently saving for a DSLR camera and a good lens. I'll probably go for something like a Rebel XSi. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
