My name is Yovko Lambrev and I was born on the 8th day of May 1974. I am a computer engineer, IT architect and security consultant, heavy open source believer, photographer, independent software developer and rock, jazz and pop music fan.
I wrote my first program in 1984 when I was 9 years old - it was a simple computer game written in Applesoft Basic for one old Apple II with 6502 processor (1MHz) and 48Kb RAM. A few months later I had my own (similar to Oric Atmos) home PC with 64Kb RAM without floppy, hard disk and monitor (I was using my cassette recorder and 12″ portable black&white TV) and I was aware that IT was my destiny. Now 2/3 of my life has passed around computers - ten years in school, five years in the university, one year in the army and more than 9 years in professional IT fields as system administrator, network manager, IT architect and consultant and web developer. The only deadly sin for me is stupidity! See my Business page for more details…
I made my first photo when I was 6 or 7 years old with my parents’ camera Смена-8 (Smena-8). I was a child and it was a game for me. But as a teenager (12-13 y.o.) I bought my first own camera Вилия (Viliya) - cheap and Russian made too - but I felt myself as a real professional. Later on I’ve even tried 8mm amateur film movies making but the photography is still my second life. I am not exactly sure what can turns me on much deeper - pretty women or photographing them ;-)
Now I have fairly good equipment based on Nikon SLR bodies (film and digital), some old film cameras and a set of lovely lenses. Together with several colleagues we’ve set a creative team of photographers, models, styling people and we’ve doing a lot of fun and photos together. Our team is called Simple Studio. Most of our pictures have free-licenced online versions and can be downloaded, used and distributed freely.
My personal photoblog is Simple Visions.
This is my personal site - so there is no strict conception. This site is just like chinese food (I love it! Do you?) - you can find everything here.
It is stupid to write facts about myself, so be free to construct some picture about me by yourself clicking all over around. Just remember - you will never learn everything about me. I pretend to explore myself every day.
Excuse my English, please - it’s not fluent maybe…
