First I would like to truly THANK YOU with all sincerity for visiting my site and viewing my photographs. I hope you enjoy them as much I enjoy taking them.

I Began a serious interest in photography with a borrowed Minolta XE-7 in the late 70's and later acquired my own camera, a Minolta X-700 during the 1980's. As with any photographer, one roll of film led to another and the addiction was complete.

It would be easy to ramble on with the usual cliché's about my passion for photography, but I am sure you have heard them before from one photographer after another so I will just let my photos speak for themselves.

I am more of a mediocrity when compared to todays photographic visionaries. I do not much care for the overly produced, photoshop graphics that plague pictures today. If it does not come out of my camera the way I want it, I won't fuss over it much. I very seldom if ever use photoshop, so aside from a few rare occasions, most of the photo effects in my galleries are done in camera. And the processing is not anymore than I would have done in a darkroom. I am more of a purest instead of a graphic artist.

"Darje' is a name I arrived at by using the initials of my family so there is no special meaning to the word except for what it signifies to me personally.

Kindest Regards,
