Hi! If you're reading this, then let me start by thanking you for visiting my profile...
My name is Diogo, I'm 24 years old and I live in the best city in the world, Porto, northern Portugal.
I have a degree in Archaeology and I also completed two years of a second degree in History, but that degree is currently on an hiatus and meanwhile, I'm currently taking classes of Japanese and Korean.
In my free time, I enjoy taking pictures, as you can see and I also enjoy listening to music, reading, seeing movies, riding my bicycle, playing video games and sleeping (a lot)...
About my presence here in DA, my purpose here is to see great works by other deviants and to also learn with them a little more about photography...
I'm a completely amateur photographer, I started taking pictures in a more "serious" way in August 2009 and I think I improved at least a little until now, but you can judge that yourself by visiting my
gallery...
I hope you do that and I hope you like it and if you fave something, then let me thank you in advance for that...
If you have any questions send me a note... it was nice to meet you and I hope I'll see you again...
