About this user

For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by elevators and their mechanics. I started taking pictures of them. Later on I switched focus to making videos.
Previously called "oldelev", I opened my first YouTube account three years ago, with my first video being uploaded on August 21st, 2008. Just one year later I closed it after Google decided they had to screw up the channel page and I could not organize it the way I wanted. The new channel design has since become a lot less laggy (yet I still prefer the old one), so now I am starting once again as the new "oldelev", hence the name "OldElevNew".
