This is one of the first photos I made, back in April 1996. Planning to travel to Egypt, Greece & Turkey, and wanting to preserve beautiful memories of it, I decided to buy my very first camera, a Canon EOS 5 (which I only later heard, and found out myself, that it’s an excellent camera).

What wasn’t planned was I got so crazy about photography after that, that I didn’t show up at the university for 4-5 semesters, busy with my new hobby taking pictures and developing them in my darkroom a.k.a. bathroom.

3 months later: Bali, July 1996
