I still remember the first time I held a camera and took pictures - I think I was five back then.. I have liked photography a lot ever since but when I bought my first DSLR it really became more like a hobby for me.

I take pictures of anything I can think of but most of all I am becoming very much a portrait junkie.

I'm just not interested trying to get a new angle on pictures of squarrels or dandelions. For me the dandelions are all the same, no matter how you shoot them.

With people it's different - even if it's just a basic mugshot it is still always unique because the people are unique. Also with small changes in posing, angle, background, lighting or pretty much anythin else may change the portrait into something completely different - much more so than with dandelions.

I don't like dandelions.

Squarrels are ok, I guess.

Anyhow... Most of the time the people modeling for me are my family members but occasionally I manage to capture someone else too.

Then, when all else fails, there's always self-portraits.
