His interest in photography started way back in the late 1980s when, as a student, he acquired his first SLR camera.
He joined the local photographic club, started participating with some success in regional competitions, and even gained a few acceptances and a couple of awards in International Salons, leading to the achievement of his AFIAP in the early 1990s.
