Can you tell us about the moment you decided to pursue a career as an artist?

My decision came after a period of intense grief and in a moment in which my duties as a university professor of computer science were scaling down. My need for creativity has been fulfilled by my research activities for a long time, but as my interest in computer science started to wane, I found that photography was the right thing for me. As I have been photographing since I was a kid, I already had all the technical expertise and this allowed me to concentrate on content and creativity rather than on technique.
