About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find a place I can call home.

ABOUT ME

I'm usually friendly and a bit naiive too.

Exploring, getting to know different cultures, learning about people in different parts of the world, understanding the way they think, widening my horizon is the way I live my life while I'm trying to find my place where I can feel at home.

Consumerism and the endless item collecting is a way of life which I grew out of and I'm striving to live as freely as I can, chained by as few possessions as possible, looking at others with open and accepting eyes.

I love photography, it's a precious part of me. I try to make others think by looking at my pictures, I try to make them love themselves more by looking at the pictures I took of them, I try to show others what they missed with my pictures. I'm always having a camera on me so if we meet expect to leave with some nice pictures of you. :)

Anyway my photos say a lot more than my words: www.vam.nu

PHILOSOPHY

May sound cliched but i live my life looking for beauty in everything and everywhere so don't be surprised if f.e. i stop and gaze at some rusty wires on the wall and smile. And i'm a man of no lies, that's probably my best quality.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I managed to learn how to see. Mute the filters, the logic and try not to understand but perceive.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to be better at taking photos for starters. :)

I'd like to learn to cook oriental meals. Learn foreign languages.
