# About me
Photography has always been strong in our family, so it didn't take long for me to start exploring its beauties. The endless possibilities presenting themselves for depiction of every motif are what drives me - to find the best way to convey my feeling about the place I'm photographing. I do not strive to create the technically perfect or the most realistic documentary depiction of the scene, but rather to convey what I felt, and what I saw with my "inner eye".I hope you will enjoy watching my photos as much as I enjoy taking them.

Hi Jan!
Thank´s a lot for all your nice words about photographs of mine.
I think you know, that it´s special to get them from somebody doing great landscape photography- so thanks even more.
I really like your approach to nature and see you visit some awesome locations.
Let´s see what this year brings us!
May the light be with you
Felix

Hi Jan!
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Wow, i see you have a marvelous gallery- don´t know where to klick first
I´m planning a travel to Patagonia for this winter, but i´m realizing its so expensive, i still don´t know if i can afford it...I live in Chile for 5 years as a child and now want to get back down there to capture my infant memories...
well best regards
Felix

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!
Patagonia is really expensive, I've spent half of what I make a year on the trip, but it was definitely worth it. You'll spend the most money on airfare and car rental, but if you're going to Patagonia only, not to other parts of Chile as we did, it won't be as bad... Food is not that expensive and if you are ok with sleeping in tent, then the price goes even lower. But as I say ... money are fleeting, but the memories stay with us forever, if your heart tells you to go, indulge it

Yes, sometime ago i lived in Chile for 5 years (from 10-15 years of age). It´s worth every cent and just a wonderful country. i just was shocked about the flight prices during christmas time...gotta try to book some weeks before or after.
your final sentence is very true!

Got it Thanks a lot, I'll sure keep the photos coming, but I'll leave judging the awesomeness to you, I'm too biased
