Feel free to contact me or add me as a friend all over the net. You can contact me through my email me[at]rmaspero[dot]com .

Home On The Web

rmaspero.com is my home on the web. This is my personal blog where I write about my interest so if you have not guessed they are technology, photograph, Apple and graphic design. This blog is hosted on Siteground (a great host) and powered by WordPress.

Appetite for Apples

I actually do have a T-Shirt that says that. my main area of interest lies in the technology realm, particularly in the best company in the world Apple. I’m a little obsessed with Apple’s products, the small perfect touches, the cutting edge deign and they super simple to use.

Over the past years I’ve accumulated a stack of Apple products.

They are a MacBook Pro 2.4GHz 4GB RAM and a 169GB drive

16GB iPod touch (now with 3.0 software)

  • 1st Gen iPod mini
  • Apple Universal iPod Dock
  • Apple Wireless Keyboard
  • iPod Socks
  • iWork
  • Aperture
  • Millions of iTunes gift cards
  • (Hopefully an iPhone soon on Vodafone)

Photography

I have really been taking photography seriously for about a 4 years now. I think I have improved, my images can be found on flickr and the latest six are displayed in my sidebar. Gear wise I have a…

  • Nikon D50
  • Nikon 18-55mm f/3.5 – 5.6G
  • UV lens filter
  • Polarizer
  • Velbon CX540 Tripod
  • Nikon 50mm f/1.8
  • Nikon Ml-L3 Remote Trigger
  • Opteka fisheye adapter

I still use the lens that came with my Nikon. I am planning to buy the Nikon 50mm f/1.8, It is just a matter of time until I get the money. My passion for Photograph started when I was at my junior school as we had a photography club, back then we used film and developed them in a dark room which had to be said was great fun and I do miss it. Now I use Apples Aperture to edit and manage my photos on my Mac, it is my preference over Lightroom but both are great choices.

Graphic Design

Graphic Design is a growing passion of mine, I have always been interested at how thing look and feel of things, and at school I was given the chance to take that further by doing a GCSE in graphic products. I am now considering it as a career and hope to one day setup my own graphic design firm.

Web Design

I am a very creative guy and love the make things, and I found a way of putting that together with my love of design by working in my spare time to do web design. I am not fantastic at it but I know HTML and CSS, Javascript and Some PHP. I can make wordpress themes from scratch. I made the theme my blog runs on, I don’t think it is perfect but I think it is a good start. I am available for hire for a price to make a custom wordpress theme or a HTML and CSS sites.
