About

Wonder what’s this site about? read that:

Once upon a time, I used to design themes (mods of Mac OS X), I was known as Xiap and published my stuff at xiap.net. Later on I moved to web and graphic design and made a few icons and WordPress themes that were visible at xiapdesign.com. Life went on (married, kids,etc..) and lack of time made me give up all of this.

I recently decided it was about time I pick up a new hobby that is becoming rapidly I must say, a passion, I’m talking obviously about photography. While I always have been interested in it, I never had the time or the money to go deeper into this discipline.  I had a few compact and bridge cameras but since august I have a SLR camera (EOS 40D) and a few basic lenses and I decided I needed to set up a new website to show my pictures. And here it is, new passion, new name: xiap xpress.

I hope you’ll enjoy visiting this site and its content. Feel free to comment on my photos, that’ll help me to be a better photographer..
