The Photographer
I got a Leica M6 as present when I studied in Germany. Since then, I've always carried it everywhere I traveled. When the speed of digitalising photography is overwhelming, I've chosen to stay with my Leica. Because, each developed photo remains the same as the moment I saw the picture through my eyes.
The Animator
It all started when I produced my first Classical Music Show for small kids. I had to learn how to interpret the music in their language. So I created animation which tells a story from each music piece. The success leads to a long series of musical animations. To see small kids listening and enjoying classical music in their own ways is really priceless.
