Self introduction

About the author:

I was born and raised in Belgium and moved to Hokkaido, Japan in 2008. I'm a chemist by education and currently active as project coordinator for a construction managament company in Japan.

 

My interest in photography comes not in a small part from my little sister Lies, a professional photographer (check out http://peachesandpeaches.blogspot.jp/).

 

I have been taking pictures of the snapshot category for quite a while, but only recenlty embarked on a more serious photography path. By means of this blog I hope to share some of my work with the world and hopefully learn a thing or two about how to improve my photography.
