I'm a student of CS/part time-developer and hobby-photographer since I was 8 or 9 and my dad gave me a 6x6-box (120-film) and shortly afterwards a Lomo (that was before it became ... infamous) plus complete works for BW-development.

I try to not care too much about the technical aspects of photography, being a geek, and learn more about taking great photos.

I face post-processing with a kind of mixed feelings, as I experienced early that it can't save a bad picture. Nevertheless Hugin is one of my pets up to the extent that I built it by myself several times on Windows, although slowly the fun of panorama- and semi-HDR-stitches fades.
