I have been following different kinds of motor racing for quite a long time and although my interest may have slightly vaned in the recent years (partly due to lack of TV coverage in places I've been living), I still watch about everything I can and I keep on reading my weekly copy of Autosport. However I'm not really into cars and I confess not having a clue about the technical side of motoring.

For me motor racing is a fascinating subject of photography. To capture to speed and excitement of a particular moment in a frame of slide film is something special. For me that's the point in all photos I take; I like the idea of freezing a moment of action, scene of city life or sunset on film, a moment which will never be repeated in a identical way. One photo often tells a story in a way no words can describe. However, I think the challenge of shooting fast moving subjects like an F1 car travelling at more than 300 km/h is something unique and requires a lot of practise. Many amateur photographers never realise the task that we face on the circuits.

I think I would very much enjoy working as a full-time photographer or journalist (racing or something else) because I like everything that goes with it: travelling, writing, meeting people, speaking foreign languages...
