I have started taking photos quite a long time ago, but more seriously I shoot since 2000 when I bought my first SLR camera. Despite the digitization, I still use film. May be I am too conservative:). However, recently I switched to medium format (Pentax 67). I use professional print films (slides only occasionally) - mainly colour and make photos in my darkroom since 2005.

I shoot landscape entirely, mostly semi-details and like the wide angle perspective. Photos, landscape as well, do not necessary have to show the exact reality, I like showing quite well known places in different points of view. As I come from Liberec, Northern Bohemia (Czech Republic), I spend most of my time shooting in neighbouring Jizera mountains, where I can find almost all landscape types except deserts and high rocky mountains. I like travelling around a lot as well , which you can see in galleries:)
