At the opening of my exhibition I got asked a lot of questions about the story, the people and also some concerning the technique used. This last part is not an irrelevant thing, it has a lot to do with how the pictures come out. But I always feel that there are so many other questions you could ask that would be more interesting; to me that is. I know there are so many who feel that the method is very important. This is certainly not to slack anyone off, I think the entry into photography is something that is personal. The way I go about it is with very little knowledge of, lets say the chip inside my camera. I know it is of very high grade, and that is really all I need to know. The same goes with my glass. They are really nice and I love working with them, but the technical specifications are not so important to me. This is also why you wont find me going on and on about gear, upcoming new stuff that I want, etc. It’s not that I’m not a gear junkie like anyone else, I just don’t like talking about it. 

When I started out I was the opposite, always talking about Mpix and read speed on the SD card’s and so on. I think I shook it off me when I found out that most of the people don’t really care about it. Most don’t even know what its about. They just see a picture and either they like it or not. While the pictures for my exhibition were being hanged on the walls on the culture center one of the people working there came by to see how things were going. After we were done he wanted to show me some of his photo work. It’s always interesting to see what others are working with, so I went with him to have a look. They were art photos and with every flip of the page he added, “This was done with no photo-shopping”, and I must say he spoiled the experience. 

The picture above is of the Citadel in Aleppo in Syria, and was done with a lot of Photo shopping,
