20 Years of the Journey

Today I celebrate 20 years since the launch of my website. The beginnings are unforgettable especially the moment I launched the site for the very first time. Back then, I simply shared any photograph captured by my lens. Of course, the start was modest, as it is for many of us.

   
I remember that the website had several sections, one of which was a “Guestbook.” Through it, I read encouraging comments from relatives and friends that truly made me happy. Over the years, I continued to develop the site changing its visual identity and updating the images displayed. Gradually, I became more selective, choosing to show only the photographs I felt were truly worth presenting. I also had some digital artworks at the time, but I preferred not to display them, as my focus was solely on photography.

At the beginning of 2020, I created my first painting on canvas, as I have always enjoyed practicing abstract art as well. I continued painting during that period some works were displayed on the website, others were not, and a few I eventually discarded. In 2025, I decided to make better use of my work and turn it into a future commercial project. As a result, I began developing a new version of the website, which I updated this year, 2026.

Currently, the site contains three main sections, which will expand in the future. Some may wonder why the website does not currently feature photographic work, even though photography was its original foundation. The main reason is that I am rebuilding the website’s identity in a new direction one that aligns with my future strategy, both personally and artistically.

Finally, if you were someone who visited the website in the past and still do, thank you you are the main reason I continue. And if you are a new visitor, welcome.
