Amba [...]
As an amateur and passionate photographer, the world of photography is one of the few ways I spend my rare free time. I was probably influenced by watching my father develop his film prints during my childhood. I have always loved this way of freezing time and breathing life and emotion into an image. My photographs are only one grain of sand among many others, but if they manage, in one way or [...]
