LUMILUX

Lumilux is a photoblog, or a regularly-updated collection of digital photography. The goal is to publish at least one photograph every few days, but sometimes I am simply too busy to do so. The name "Lumilux" was inspired by the suggestions of Ray McKenzie. The first photo on Lumilux was published on September 16th, 2005.
