Creative Pursuits



In my free time, I enjoy photography, and this page offers a glimpse into that hobby.
(Also, I needed a space to showcase the short documentary as it doesn't quite fit with the video games.)

About the photos


I still use a Canon EOS 550D, which is nowadays very much outdated. I’ve had the camera for 16 years, having bought it with money my grandfather left me when he passed away. Its lens is scratched, and the autofocus and flash have been nonfunctional for the past 13 years, but for me this hobby has always been about capturing moments rather than focusing on the technical aspects. 

You can do a lot with natural light and composition, after all —and the camera on the phone!

Clicking the image will open the documentary on Vimeo.
