Periodicaly , I realize personal projects that allow me to develop myself , and in this way to subscribe to international photography salons. The last year, my project was “Still life photography” and “Wild animals in captivity”. For this year I want to capture great images of various sports. First on the list was the Ice Racing Project , a motocross competition held in my home town organized by Gagyi Peter, a well knowned motocross biker in Romania. After several appearances at international exhibitions the results started to show: more acceptances at variours salons and the best of it - gold medal at the International Photographic Exhibition – Japan. My wish is to have as many achievements as possible, always bring novelty through my photos and

joy into the

viewer’s eye. My principle is “Do what you love!” and do not forget “Never give up on your dreams !”
