About Karl. |
Karl has developed an interest in Nature as a kid growing up in rural area of Hungary. This interest took him out to the marshes and forests observing Nature. He started recreational photography in his twenties learning the basics from his father, who was teaching creative art in high school. Karl and his family immigrated to Canada in the early eighties, where he re-discovered Bird watching and eventually Bird photography. In 2003 he switched to digital photography. He says that digital photography allows him to control the whole process from picture taking to post processing and printing. Karl has a master's degree in mechanical engineering and spent half of his active years working on design project and the other half working as a Research and Development Engineer. His academic background helped him to have a good understanding the physics of photography. Some of his pictures were published in Nature and Local Magazines as well as newspapers books and booklets. He has two self published books on birds. Some of Karl's images have been used for presentations and educational purposes as well. Karl's favorite saying is: "My best picture is the one I haven't taken yet. That keeps me going out and continue on." Karl is a member of; Guelph Creative Arts Association "Take only pictures, leave only footprints, kill only time" |
