Artist | Hobbyist | Photography
Portugal
Hello and welcome to my dA profile!
I'm Diogo, born 25 years ago in Porto, northern Portugal, where I still live...
After finishing my studies in Archaeology and also completing two years of a second degree in History, which I suspended indefinitely, I'm currently taking classes of Japanese, having also studied Korean before...
Whenever I'm free, I obviously enjoy taking pictures, but also listening to music, reading, watching movies and playing video games...
I started hanging around here just to enjoy the works of others, but after a year of being just a "viewer", I started uploading my own stuff and now I'm here not only to enjoy, but to try to learn from the photographers I'm meating here...
And indeed I have a lot to learn, since I'm just an amateur photographer...
Still, I think I'm improving a little, but you can judge that yourself by visiting my gallery... hope you like it... Thanks for stopping by... hope I'll see you again...

By the way, if you don't want to scroll all the way down to the bottom of my page, just press Ctrl+End to reach it immediately, instead of complaining about how long my page is, like some already did...
It's my page and I like it as it is!
Thanks for understanding...
