Why I love Fujifilm
In almost every article I have wrote on my website, in the Blog section, regarding Fujifilm gear, I talk about the synergy between beauty and functionality.

Self Curation – The Unsurmountable Challenge
Self curation is one of the greatest challenge and probably one of the most difficult task for an artist. To select and evaluate your own work you require special abilities.
