Drawing with Light

Hi! My name is Mano and I am an amateur photographer. Besides the many other things in life that occupies my time, these last two years I have been drawn towards drawing, that is with light. I love taking pictures as it freezes a moment in the space time continuum. It is subjective, open to interpretation, it captures the very essence of life, the unspoken words.

I’ve never been to a photography class; books, websites and chris orwig have been my mentors. I don’t have a degree in art, in fact I failed many of them during my school days. But I believe there’s a little bit of art in all of us. Enjoy the pictures that are included in this site as I undertake the journey of growth and fascination; in drawing with light.

As I’m writing this, I can hear my son pretending to be clone trooper with lots special effect sounds. Board games, I love them, sure it takes more time but the thinking and socializing that comes along with it are something you can’t get when you at the corner whacking away zombies. Go play, you are never too old, Monopoly, here I come…
