If you will take more time to assess this website you will start understanding the approach I have taken to it and the little details that matter. For example, if you will look more carefully at the kiwi on the right you will see how irregular its shape is. I could have made it a perfect circle or ellipse. Now, where would the beauty of depicting things as-are remain? Is there something to hide about its irregular shape? Some might say yes. I say no. I believe that the beauty is in our eyes. We see things beautiful not because they are beautiful but because we perceive them as beautiful. The ideas that derive from here are endless. I won't go further because it wouldn't lead to something concrete. However, you could.

Some might have wondered why I didn't use Flash on this website. The first reason was because I considered the time you will keep waiting for a fancy animation to download. I come from a part of this world where internet connections are not that fast (speeds of 15Kb/s are considered fast here). The preloaders for Flash animations could be nice but I think that when one can view the page he/she desires instantly, the pleasure is even greater. I will consider a Flash version in the future if there will be enough people willing to see how well I can work in this medium. Until then, enjoy the fast loading sequences that this website offers.

I like simple things. This website is a very simple one. I focused on its effectiveness. I focused on the text and images that would convey the desired ideas. After all, it's all about that: text and images. Animations are useful but they still operate with text and images (sometimes with geometrical forms and shapes).

Three (3) sub-sections are available here: WEBDESIGN (the websites that I have worked on so far), PHOTOGRAPHY (I like taking snapshots and then fine-tuning them), and EXPERIMENTS (creative outlet).
So tasty...
