Danny Roozen - The Ninja Dude

Bio: Just a kid who grew up taking too many photos without realizing he's interested in photography. That interest came above water around my 22/23th year.

Then I just bought a camera and started shooting thinking I was the best photographer ever, until you come along these sites who've made me who I am today. Such as Deviantart and of course Shadowness.

As a human being, I just really like to help people, so if you have any questions, don't ever hesitate to ask them. I will surely try to help you!

Tools: Canon 400d
Tokina f/4 12-24mm
Tamron f/2.8 28-75mm
Tamron f/2.8 90mm macro
