For how long have you done photography? How did you begin?

Though I have owned a camera since I was 10 and started doing photography semi-seriously 11 years later, the most important shaping event in my photographic self-education was the discovery of Adobe Lightroom November 2007.

Taking a picture is only half the work, and that finally made it easy for me to do the kind of post-processing on my photos that made them from just a photo and into what I feel are works of art.

Just 6 months later, I had taken more photos after that discovery than I had before in all my life put together, I had new and better cameras, I had a big printer to sell high-quality prints, and my photograhy no longer felt secondary to my painting, but something that gave me an equal sense of creative pleasure.
