In 2004, on my way to Nepal, I laid my hands on a digital camera for the first time and discovered a pastime that quickly became a passion. Since then, I have been constantly searching for opportunities to combine photography with every element of my life...including travel, friendships, work, and family.
As a former engineer, I've always enjoyed my creativity with a bit of structure. Photography allows me to indulge my appetite for technical gadgetry while *trying* to produce something that I (and hopefully some others) love to look at. To me, a perfect image is as interesting on the thousandth view as it was on the first. Early on, I found inspiration in any image that sparked the question: “How’d they do that?!” More recently (and much more personally), I committed to taking my photography beyond technique in daily exploration of images as an emotionally sustaining force. And I enthusiastically vouch for the power of making consistent shooting a lifestyle choice.
I am a native of Baltimore, MD, now residing in the San Francisco Bay Area. I spend my days in the marketing department of a biotech startup and devote practically all other time to photography (and packing for flights).
I thank you so much for taking your time to browse some of what I have to share, and I welcome your thoughts and comments.

Some time ago I decided to build a website, where I could advertise my photography and writing skills. Not in a blog form, but rather a photographer’s portfolio style. I learnt use use complex website building tools, improved my photoshop skills and got top work. I was going to call my website “Photorious”. Ironic, but when I bumped into this website the other day, my anger for having waited so long and letting this great domain name be stolen from me vanished within the first few scrolls of the mouse. What an astonishing photographer you are. I’m nowhere near your level. I kept scrolling down and my envy was slowly turning into admiration. Your photographs are amazing. What else can I say? I wish I knew how you do it.
I’m not a blog person, but I think yours is a great blog. Thank you for creating it.
