Biography:

I'm a father, husband and a hobbyist with various interests, one of them being a fascination for bugs. I'm an analyst within the financial industry with a career that dates back to 1994.

Ever since I was a child, insects have always fascinated. I was a late bloomer with macro photography, becoming self-taught in my mid-30's in 2005. I have since given it up with the birth of my son (2007) but someday will get back into it and hopefully share this wonderful endeavor with him.

Equipment used:

Canon A630, Canon 20D, Canon 40D, Canon 100mm Macro Lense, Canon Mp-E 65mm Macro Lense, Canon MT-24EX Twinlite Flash, Gitzo 2220 Explorer Tripod.

Contribution highlights:
