About me:

I'm Andrey. I am designer and web developer currently based in Budapest, Hungary.

I spent some years of my life being a photographer, but then I switched to things for web. However, shooting is still my passion. That started with my first SLR Zenit 12 (Zenit TTL) about 20 years ago when I was 14.

I recently counted shots taken by me in last 10 years - about 15000 photos. This means about 4 a day, both film and digital. Many of them are quite good. Others are trash. Some of them I liked so much that made this website for you to see them.

This website is not meant to be any super pro or artistic photo showcase. It is rather a photo blog where you can see daily life from my point of view. Almost all images are raw, unprocessed and direct out of the camera.

I actually feel no desire to mention every technical detail of the image like most of photobloggers tend to do. So, this site is more about impression than about A's, S's or focal length.

About photo equipment:

My experience shows that the best approach in daily shooting is to have one good pro or prosumer SLR and one advanced compact camera. It gives you much more mobility and flexibility than one good SLR with different lenses.

In different times I used couples like these:

• Zenit 12 + Lomo LC-A
• Minolta 7xi + Minolta Riva Zoom 75w
• Canon D60 + Canon S50 (black)

Or... mix them to your taste. Plus, the cameraphone is always with me (it is Nokia 3660 now).

Other cameras used (there were more than a dozen of them, but I remember these ones):
Minolta F100, Olympus Camedia C-4000 Zoom, Minolta Dynax 5000i, Canon G1, Canon G5, Zenit AM + misc. cameras borrowed from my friends to make some shots.

About this site:

I had a couple of things in mind for this website:

• the initial idea was to share my vision of life with my friends and guests.
• and I also wanted to show the power of super-flexible Drupal CMS. For technical details please check this blog post

Please DO leave your comments. I'd love to know what you think about what you see.
