Sometime 1987 at the age of 23 i borowed a Practica MTL5b from my friend.I didnt realize that this would be the beginning of crazy journey. When another friend of mine,Sava,gave me an opportunity to cover different events for the Mayors office in my hometown of Subotica I was sure that I was on the right track.

Soon after I received a call from a local newspaper and things got serious.

I went to Belgrade to find somebody to teach me more and I stumbled into Mr. Nikola Radosevic.

A magic moment.

Master of photography and rewarded from French Academy of Science for his contribution in photography, he told me to continue because he saw talent. I couldn't sleep for days.

I spent the next two years learning,working.

In 1991 I went to cover the war.Three months close to human tragedy.Unforgettable.

Embargo, inflation, empty supermarkets... I realized that nobody in my photographs were smiling.
I switched to sport. At least somebody smiles after the goal.

In 1994 I moved to Athens.George and Nikos gave me oportunity and i became staff photographer of the biggest,at the time,sport agency in Greece ACT Sports.

In 2002 I went freelance. Difficult and challenging.

In 2004 i left my cameras and got a job as Photo Manager at 2004 Olympic Games in Athens.
World's biggest show and I was a part of it.

Like in Kusturica's movie somebody says 'Everyday in every-way we're getting better and better'.

I am still trying....
