I am an amateur, hobbyist photographer interested in street, landscape and low light photography.

If my photos bring a smile to your face, spark a memory or emotion than I consider the picture a success.

"Just trying to have a little fun folks, that’s all" - Dean Martin

"Fractions of time snatched from eternity", Robert Doisneau

"I know that one doesn't get more than two or three good photos a year. But there are some blessed moments. There are days when one walks around without getting a single photograph, without running into anything. There I refuse. But there are other times when things are offered to me, like gifts. I arrive, I stroll around town, everything is given. Click. It's like the story of the magic gift, which comes up in many teachings, for instance by the Sufis, but also in some of our own legends. But in order to seize that gift, one has to be prepared. If I am, and if my camera is there at the right moment, click, all I have to do is accept it."
Edouard Boubat

"I don't know about other people's cameras. Mine is a thing I had cobbled up, it holds together with tape and is always losing parts. All I need to set is the distance and that other thing - what do you call that other thing? I'm not a fan of mechanics. I have had this camera, still the same one, since I started taking photos. It has lived with me, shared many moments of my existence, both good and bad. If I ever lost it... well, the very idea of having to live without it pulls at my heart. I would take photos without a camera if I could. I've no great passion for mechanics."
