Born on 6th June.1969 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. In horoscope sign Twins.

My hobbies in primary school were drawing of technical drawings, designing fonts, watching photos, designing, sport, ... If I look back I can see that I work exactly what I was doing it as I was a little boy. It was kind of prediction.

I entered in the world of photography in secondary school with father's analogue camera Kiev. Before that he bought me short book about basics of photography. So I stepped in photograpy.

My first own photos were shoot on Rally Championship Saturnus in late 80's. The expectations in my my mind and the results on print photographs were something different. Photos were taken but the exposure time was too short to express the movement of the cars. Everything was so static. I said ok. This is for the first time OK, next time I'll do it better. And I've practiced shooting for many years. And so these days.

Then in lately 80's, exactly on 1988 I've bought an analogue video camera Video8 and finished with photography. Ten years were dedicated only for motion pictures and editing recordered materials.

After finishing the University I've finally came back to photography. That was by the end of the 20th century. I've bought Nikon's F60 with Sigma lens 28-200 mm. This camera gave so much satisfaction in catching the moments that I've taken many many photos. I prefer telephoto lens getting the blurry background with sharp object in foreground.

After that came the digital times and a digital cameras changed the way of making photos. Lower costs, handly computer retouching. Now I use Canon EOS-30D digital with variety of lens and Kaiser tabletop.

Why I've made this site?
Because I want to share this beauty of Santorini's architecture with other people.

I visited Santorini island in Greece three times. It inspired me a lot so I returned back two times. There is a real world of fantastic Greek achitecture with very pleasant people. So I dedicated this site to inhabitants of Santorini and all people in the world who has already visited this island or they are willing to get and explore it in the whole way.
