Hello! Nice to meet you, Steemit's friends. My name is Ysmael Rodriguez, but you can call me Mae. I am a civil engineer, musician, photographer and writer residing in Caracas, Venezuela.
The main reason I'm here is because I was looking to start up recording some of my ideas and life experiences on video, but I found this a good place to start with that idea by writing. Maybe in the nearest future I'll be posting some videos, musical or vlogs, but well... I think this is actually a good way to begin doing what I wanted to do all these past years.
As I said before, I'm a photographer and I really love making photographs of all kind of things: nature, landscapes, animals... Some urban stuff like cities, buildings, people, etc. My trend is the "long exposure photography", I'll be posting some of my work using that technique.
Here is a photo of myself, kind of a "selfie", but mostly a "self portrait". You may be thinking of some titles for it: "Wanted, Dead or Alive"... Well, I think I'm a better photographer than a model hahahaha! I wanted to use some analogic filters, and it ended being like a prisoner's photo.
I'm also a musician. I'm a bass player, I play bass and contrabass, but I also can play the guitar, some piano, cuatro and maracas (venezuelan instruments), tumbadoras, tres (cuban instrument), and clave. Here are some photos of myself playing in a live shows:
In the next posts, I will be sharing with you my work, and you may found this signature on it:
This is my personal signature, which I use to certificate that the photos that I post are mine and not taken from the internet (If that were the case, I will always point the pictures source).
Thank you for taking the time to read my "introduce yourself" post!
I wish you success and all the best!
See you soon,
Mae Rod.
