My name is Benny and I was born back in 1973.
I've always been fond off art, But until recently not more then a hobby, today I do some freelance photography. If you ever need a photographer just let me know.
Besides photo I try to develop my drawing skills. I did get some formal training at the university, but even if it helped it feels like the best and biggest skill increasement came when I actully started to use my eye´s and looked at what I draw. Before I hade some strange idea that you weren´t a skilled artist if you couldn´t draw from your imagination. Today I think that it is the final image that is what matters and not how it was created.
I do cheat in other mediums too. I did some sculptural artworks in metals, clay and even snow at one point but due to change of living conditions I can´t find the space for that anymore.
I have had both good and bad responses about my art, but as I creat for my own enjoyment and cannot create for everyone to like I guess the price for sharing your efforts. I got a good advise from a friend here at the site a few years back. He said as a answer to a remark from me about his high output of good images, -- it´s not how even you are at creating, it is all about what you choose to display.Â
I hope you enjoy my images, and don´t hesitate to write if you wonder anything or just want to say hey.
All the best.
Benny

I have that "love hate relationship" with spiders. I love to take pictures of them, but I hate when they crawl on me or my camera. Excellent shot! I have a few spiders in my gallery... thankfully I don't think they are that big. lol! I live near the woods so we get a lot of interesting bugs.
