I have dabbled in portraits (which I rather like) and have done some shoots for the schools to which my grandkids go.

My name is Fadi, I am 37 and I am from Beirut,Lebanon.

Although I have been taking photos for a long time, I have never considered it to be any more than a hobby. My first SLR was a Zenith 35mm film camera, using it mostly at airshows, back in the 60s and 70s.
