About Contrajur

₪ Painted by nature, certainly the landscapes are

My father was a keen amateur photographer and did his own developing and printing. So I followed his example at the age of nine in 1953 and only gave up wet processing when I started to experiment with digital in 2007. Eventually I abandoned film and I now use digital imaging software tools extensively, not to create my own compositions but to replace a dull sky or remove distracting elements.

Outside of photography my next main interest is listening to music of many genres but classical music dominates from Albeniz to Zemlinsky. I also love to learn as much as I can absorb in fields like nature, world cultures, philosophy, history, science and politics. I also enjoy reading classical fiction.
