A little story of walking to MS Windows
I had a computer in hands when I was 6 years old.
My dear father bought a Commodore 64 with which I played and even programmed in Basic a bit.

After that, because he was & still is a big geek interested by technology and hacking, he bought the famous PC Amstrad 1512 with a 20Mbytes hard drive (a must!)

if you read the latest posts on this blog, you’d understand I’m a very new mac user but a so much convinced one.

I began photography 1month after Jean Loup Sieff had gone.
This morning reminds me that.
I could say, I changed my computer vision several weeks before the Genius passed away.
