A képeim / My Gallery ( <--- kattints rá! / click it!)

I am taking photographs for decades, started at the age of 6. I had several film cameras from pocket ones to SLRs, owned many and borrowed even more. I assisted the rise of digital photography: my first digital camera has an awesome max resolution of 320×240 px. It is most probable that as a shop assistant, I sold the very first digital camera in Hungary. (Unproven!) Sometimes I draw, either digitally or by hand. I am not that good in it, though. Since 2018 I picked up analog photography once again, and I am still learning to use dark room techniques but collected several cameras to #shootfilmstaypoor and I have the tendency to enjoy using definitely difficult equipment. I often use a catadioptric 500mm f/8 Nikon lens on my Canon DSLR that has depth of field shallower than a sheet of paper and a Mamiya/Sekor 528TL that is considered one of the worst camera of all time simply because its sheer complexity. Nevertheless it is the final result that counts: the image.

Note: I have some eye difficulties, and the small texts on the screen sometimes give trouble. While I am a grammar nazi, I frequently make typos, just because I don't actually see the individual letters. I apologize for these mistakes.

I am founding member of Hungarian Tolkien Society, and I am established Tolkien fan. I was founder editor of KEMET, once most popular Egyptology site of Hungary, and study ancient Egypt since 1999 or so. There are very few things that I cannot relate to Egypt.

I am fluent in Hungarian and somewhat in English, babbling a bit in Italian, learning some Spanish and French, picking up a bit of Cymraeg (dw i'n hoffi dysgu Cymraeg!) and know some words in German.
