about me
I was born February 17, 1981, and I have been living in Lugano, Switzerland from then.
I studied Communication's Science at the University of Lugano and now I own a company called Pixelized.ch Sagl, that deals with websites & hosting solutions.
I have been taking pictures since I was a child, but I started to take it more seriously in 2001 when I bought a Nikon Coolpix5000.
After two years, and thousands of photos, I decided to buy my first SRL Camera.
