Born lots of years ago I started early to use a Canon AE-1 given from my parents. Got boared with the waiting for the processing of film in old days. After the digital cameras reached realistic price ranges I'm stucked again in the world of "light painting".
The whole stuff get financed through my job in IT business. Dealing with SAP in a pharmaceutical company; right now located in Japan (the motherland of Canon and Nikon)
