A few words from me (about myself/my hobbies):
For me photography is a form of play causing an endless searching. Visually its possibilities are unlimited especially if photography goes beyond the established norms. The mere moment of taking a picture can become the beginning of a fascinating road - at the end of which the image created is loaded with powerful emotions which can surprise even the author himself. It is possible that one would like to own the created photograph.
