To Amateurs, with Love.

Having worked with music and literature for most of my life (as a musician-teacher-writer), when I entered the world of filmmaking in 2011 (England Collection), which was something I had never done before, I tried to do so on a path that was closer to my experience. Since I consider myself a chronicler in my music and literature, I naturally embraced the video poetry chronicle, somewhere I could start from with more familiarity. As a direct consequence, I also began to study the world of amateur cinematography with its lovely DIY feature.

Some of the results of this short (amateur) journey that I have been producing since then, I divide into two parts:

1) the research material produced and compiled by myself which is shared in some websites mainly The Image Matters and Transmuted, and also through my AuthorZines TO AMATEURS, WITH LOVE, a leaf-it-through magazine-like fanzine publication on Amateur Artistic Filmmaking.

2) my personal artistic creation material that I share HERE and also at YouTube.
