The very first time he held a camera in his hand, he was about eight years old and wanted to take pictures of the beautiful sunset. It was his parents' black and white camera, and he left it in the bushes. Since then he has become more apt at taking care of both his, and others', equipment.
Spends a lot of time reading fantasy and Sci-fi books and novels, and is HUGE fan of Terry Practhett's Discworld novels, he can't even go into a book store without looking for one he hasn't got yet, and all of William Gibson's novels.
