Hello there..

7/22/2008 Self Portrait..

Hello there. I hope you don't mind I let myself in. The door was open anyways.. Who am I? Well, I'm certainly not one of those people who constantly brag about themselves.. I have my secrets, my doubts, I'm only human.. I guess we'll know each other better later. I can only say that in this stage of my miserable life I would like to become an artist. I always thought that I was going to be a translator. But that would be too easy. After years of studies at the Faculty of Philology, after scholarship in Auvergne, France, here I am, trying to be a photographer. Or at least photographer assistant.. After so many years, I finally recognized myself devoted to photography and found my true passion..My entire life I was taking pictures not knowing that that was actually what I did like. Well, better late than never:)

At the time, as a student of Photography at Moraine Valley Community College, Palos Hills, USA, I was working on my first B&W portfolio and I had to say something about me. Why? Because my portfolio was in fact nothing more that artistic vision of myself captured by the camera, my confidente.. I dare to repeat after Isidore Schary:

"The true portrait of a man is a fusion of what he thinks he is, what others think he is, what he really is and what he tries to be.."

I'm sorry if I'm not clear enough. English is just one of foreign languages I like to use to express myself.
