As an aspiring very important photographer, a 3rd person biography is obligatory, deceiving visitors into believing that somebody cared enough about my life to write a paragraph about it: His Majesty Bernard Poncelet the 1st, grew up in beautiful Liege, Belgium, the land of chocolate, beers, fries, and occasional German invasions. Upon graduation from the University of Liege, he then travelled to sunny Southern California to get his master degree at Cal State Long Beach, after which he stumbled onto a job (at a party no less) saving him from imminent deportation back to the land of waffles and has been living there ever since. Mechanical engineer by day, and mostly sleeping by night, he also loves travelling, experiencing new cultures and attempting to capture the beauty of them all.
