about me

My passion for visual arts, photography in particular, is closely associated with world travel and the USSR.

My discovery of the world started at home, through philately. Throughout my childhood, I had access to a great amount of stamps from many countries and in particular from the Soviet Union. These stamps became a window on a world waiting to be discovered. These images are at the root of my life-long passion for traveling. Photography became a natural choice for visually documenting my discovery of the world. From the images on stamps to photographs taken around the world, I became immersed in visual expression and, in by the mid 80s, I began using computers as a visual creation tool. In the early 90s, I was offered my first job as a computer graphics artist and have been involved in digital visual effects for television and film ever since.
