About this site
>>> PHOTOS & COVERAGES
I spend a lot of time travelling from Poker event to Poker event. View a selection of Poker pictures and follow my tournament coverages on the PHOTOS & COVERAGES page.
>>> ON THE ROAD [BLOG]
Scroll through a listing of articles dedicated to upcoming and past Poker tournaments in the ON THE ROAD section. You will also find a link to the former blog section (before summer 2017). These two sections have been merged now with tournament agenda updates and blogging coming up on the same page.
who's the rounder?
Hello! I'm Damian. I was born in Luxembourg and I travel around from Poker event to Poker event in order to play card games or to report about them mainly by shooting photos. I shoot pictures almost everywhere I travel to and this blog simply serves the purpose of sharing information about Poker events I am attending or planing to attend.
With a scientific and cultural educational background and after a music career as a touring drummer, DJ than producer, publisher and manager from the mid 90s to the early 2000s, I had finally taken part to roughly 600 shows in 30 countries. If we would have had hashtags back then, #onstageeverywhere would have been one our favourite ones :p
I then transitioned to event management, cultural management, public consulting and more corporate private businesses ... always keeping a camera somewhere close ... In 2007, I stumble across Poker, somehow got good enough at it to make money and keep travelling almost without working. Then lady variance got introduced to me [dirty bitch!] :p I had a very wild and passionate relationship with her, especially in 2010 and 2011. But I was not running bad in every aspect of my life. In grand star alignment fashion, this is also the time when Poker companies and casinos started to order photo reports although I had never really advertised this service. Everywhere I was travelling to and after I had busted my tournaments, I shot photos when the tournament director would allow me to do so. Those photos were just for me and I would hand them over to the promoters too. As a matter of fact, it turned out some people were ready to pay for an educated photographer's eye in order to promote their events. Over the years, this allowed me to have a small but steady revenue besides my Poker monkey swinging and I gathered enough knowledge and experience to start working with some of the worldwide leading Poker companies and casinos as a freelance photographer, blogger, live commentator, TV table director, camera operator, consultant ... you name it ... travelling around in the wake of numerous international Poker tours.
I am fluent in five languages ENG, FR, DE & LU, my ITA is very good & I have basic knowledge in NL, SP, PT. Get in touch if you think we can work on something together.
... see you on the road !
This page is designed responsively and therefore should display correctly on all sorts of devices but still works best on a good old computer :)
The main communication channel used to spread additional Poker information and pictures is my Facebook page. Stay tuned and thanks for dropping by.
