I am here thanks to the impulse of my sister @mimi05 and my brother-in-law @fcuatro, since I am a photographer, well ... at the moment I do not have a professional camera, so I do not know if I am currently being ... it is a subject that perhaps I will touch later to see what you think and perhaps a good debate will be opened on whether to continue being (in my case) a photographer, even if I don't have a professional camera in my hands; but hey, the time the camera spent, I took advantage of it 100%, and that is why I am going to start uploading photos, anecdotes, stories that were given along this path that is life.
Estoy acá gracias al impulso de mi hermana @mimi05 y mi cuñado @fcuatro, ya que soy fotógrafa, va… en estos momento no cuento con una cámara de foto profesional, asique no sé si actualmente lo estoy siendo… es un tema que quizás lo tocare más adelante para ver que opinan ustedes y quizás se abra un buen debate de si se sigue siendo (en mi caso) fotógrafa, aunque no tenga una cámara profesional en mis manos; pero bueno, el tiempo que anduvo la cámara, la aproveche al 100%, y es por eso que voy a comenzar a subir fotos, anécdotas, historias que se fueron dando a lo largo de este camino que es la vida.
About 16 years ago, I finished high school, school, and like all parents, they wanted me to study a professional career, I was going to an Agrotechnical school and I had decided to study veterinary medicine, that career was not in my city, I had to move to another city to be able to start that new stage, but I was going through a somewhat special moment for me at the age of 17; I suffer from a disability (I will talk about that later), I had to undergo surgery and I needed if or if from my family to face the treatment after that intervention, in conclusion, I could not go to study far from my city and I decided to stay. I took that sabbatical year, and there I discovered that I liked to take photos, thanks to my father who always walked with his Ricoh camera taking photos of us (thousands) and my mother who was an arts teacher in schools, I was born from them, the third of five siblings.
Hace unos 16 años, terminĂ© el secundario, la escuela, y como todos los padres, querĂan que estudie una carrera profesional, iba a un colegio AgrotĂ©cnico y me habĂa decidido estudiar veterinaria, en mi ciudad esa carrera no estaba, tenĂa que mudarme de ciudad para poder comenzar esa nueva etapa, pero estaba transitando un momento un tanto especial para mĂ a los 17 años; padezco una discapacidad (más adelante hablare de eso), debĂa ser intervenida quirĂşrgicamente y necesitaba si o si de mi familia para afrontar el tratamiento posterior a esa intervenciĂłn, en conclusiĂłn, no podĂa irme a estudiar lejos de mi ciudad y decidĂ quedarme. Me tome ese año sabático, y ahĂ descubrĂ que me gustaba sacar fotos, gracias a mi padre que siempre anduvo con su cámara Ricoh sacándonos fotos a nosotros (miles) y a mi madre que fue profesora de artes en las escuelas, de ellos dos nacĂ, la tercera de cinco hermanos.
Anyway, my father with a lot of effort and thanks to his cousin Marcelo who lives in San Francisco, California, USA, was able to buy a Sony cybershot digital camera, that's where this passion began, this growing form of expression; this camera did not have all the manual options, but at that time I did not know anything about issues such as ISO, speed, aperture; I read the camera manual and there I began to get the most out of it and understand the light with the few parameters I had to change, obviously, I read everything I had in my photography scope, I felt that I understood it very easily, but not only is to understand the mechanism of taking a photo, you also have to have an eye, sensitivity and time to dedicate to it, which I had a lot at that time, it should be said that I am self-taught, I never studied photography, I only took a course that lasted a few months, but not valid, only for those who wanted it as a hobby.
En fin, mi padre con mucho esfuerzo y gracias a su primo Marcelo que vive en San Francisco, California, EEUU, pudo comprar una cámara digital Sony cybershot, ahĂ comenzĂł esta pasiĂłn, esta forma de expresiĂłn que fue creciendo; esta cámara no tenĂa todas las opciones manuales, pero en ese momento no sabĂa nada de temas como ISO, velocidad, diafragma; me leĂ el manual de la cámara y ahĂ comencĂ© a sacarle el jugo y a comprender la luz con los pocos parámetros que tenĂa para cambiar, obvio, leĂ todo lo que tenĂa a mi alcance de fotografĂa, sentĂa que lo entendĂa muy fácilmente, pero no solo es entender el mecanismo de sacar una foto, tambiĂ©n hay que tener ojo, sensibilidad y tiempo para dedicarle, cosa que tenĂa y mucho en ese momento, cabe contar que soy autodidacta, nunca estudĂ© la carrera de fotografĂa, realice solo un curso que durĂł unos meses, pero sin validez, solo para aquellos que lo quisieran como hobby.
That was a bit my story, now I will tell you why I am here in addition to my photos, in a few days it will be 5 months of the most beautiful moment of my life, the day my son was born, yes, I gave birth in the middle of a pandemic . I'll tell you in a nutshell: last year I decided to go live alone and a month after being happy at home, I found out that my baby would arrive, she was pregnant. And it makes me feel like the happiest mom in the universe. In addition to taking photos, and today there is very little work at parties and events, I do graphic design, with that I support myself, I am also self-taught, I only took a course to learn how to use design programs. Anyway, since I have been on the notebook for a long time, I decided to start generating income from the HIVE platform.
Eso fue un poco mi historia, ahora les contarĂ© porque estoy acá además de mis fotos, en unos dĂas se van a cumplir 5 meses del momento más hermoso de mi vida, el dĂa que naciĂł mi hijo, si, di a luz en plena pandemia. Les cuento resumido: el año pasado decidĂ irme a vivir sola y al mes de estar feliz en mi casa, me entero de que mi bebĂ© llegarĂa, estaba embarazada. Y me hace sentir la mamá más feliz del universo. Además de sacar fotos, y hoy por hoy hay muy poco trabajo en fiestas y eventos, hago diseño gráfico, con eso me mantengo, tambiĂ©n soy autodidacta, solo hice a un curso para aprender a utilizar los programas de diseño. En fin, como estoy bastante tiempo en la notebook, decidĂ comenzar a generar ingresos desde la plataforma de HIVE.
In summary, I am going to start putting all those photos to use, since on several occasions and in different blogs I began to publish, but for one thing or another I left them on the way, today I promise not to leave this unfinished, but to take responsibility with me, my son, my photos and this community, that they can enjoy my past photos, and that this helps me to be able to acquire a new professional camera to be able to express myself again as I like and long for.
En resumen voy comenzar a darle un uso a todas esas fotos, ya que en varias ocasiones y en distintos blogs comencé a publicar, pero por una cosa u otra los dejaba en el camino, hoy me comprometo a no dejar esto inconcluso, sino hacerme responsable conmigo, mi hijo, mis fotos y esta comunidad, que puedan disfrutar de mis fotos pasadas, y que esto me ayude a poder adquirir una nueva cámara profesional para poder volver a expresarme como tanto me gusta y anhelo.
I hope I have not bored you, and as you saw throughout the post, they are my first creative photos taken with the SONY, of course, in addition to taking photos I love to edit them, (not much) but my first photos from back in 2006/2007 were edited so, I also leave a photo of me so that you know me, later I will tell my story with the great Nikon D200.
Espero no haberlos aburrido, y como vieron a lo largo del post, son mis primeras fotos creativas tomadas con la SONY, claro que además de sacar fotos me encanta editarlas,(no mucho) pero mis primeras fotos de allá por 2006/2007 las editabas asĂ, dejo tambiĂ©n alguna foto mĂa para que me conozcan, más adelante contarĂ© mi historia con la grandiosa Nikon D200.
Have a great day, I hope to read inspiring stories and enjoy many photos on this new path! Greetings @amaranto.
Que tengan un excelente dĂa, espero leer historias inspiradoras y deleitarme con muchas fotos en este nuevo camino! Saludos @amaranto.
