Who I am I recently made fun of myself in Facebook writing that I studied photojournalism but I am a starving artist. What I really mean is that to understand who I am as photographer is the highest priority for me this year. I still dedicate most of my time to study and to develop …
I don’t believe in the people that say they’re good in everything and they can do everything for me or they can teach me everything. That’s too much isn’t it?

English is not even my native language… I’m going to make myself ridiculous and to sound presumptuous… I’m sick of the overwhelming bullshit going on in internet, why shall add mine too?” I tried many times to write something for my website about photography, and every time I felt …
