ABOUT ME

I am a melancholic who likes to smile a lot.

I have several aptitudes, all of them wasted. (Well... it's not that bad, recently I started playing the Western concert flute:)).

Sounds and letters are my main course every day, but recently I developed a feeling of affection to edible things (I often feel like conjuring up meals and discovering new tastes).

Photography is also an important part of my way of perceiving things around (no matter real or unreal ones).
