a lil' about myself. I'm 24yrs old, live in the small town of Karis, FINLAND. I've been takin' pictures for about 5yrs now. I started out with a Canon EOS300 and last year I changed to digital. Now I have a Canon EOS300D (Rebel) + Zenitar Fisheye + Canon and Sigma 28-80mm + Canon and Sigma 70-300mm (one with macro). I've been skateboarding for over 10yrs and that's what got me into photography. I mostly take pics of my friends skateboarding. I'm not that active, I know I should be taking more pics, but there's only 24h/day, so what can one do. But I'll promice I will take more pics next year than I did this year. A few favourite things for me to photograph are: skateboarding (ofcourse), nature (insects, flowers), friends... I'm not that big of a fan of set-up situations. I prefer taking pics of things as they are. Real life situations.
