Yesterday Fabiana and I were watching a trailer of a film: Happy-Go-Lucky. I do not know if it will be any good but it is based on a character who is, despite everything that can go bad, Happy. No mater what life has for us, happiness should be our companion more often. Right now I [...]
I am deeply analyzing my photography. I am not interested in what I have done but why I did it and where it will go from now on. As I have told many times I am still looking for a mentor, mainly because I am not entirely satisfied of my photos. Someone the other day [...]
Lately I am shooting children more than usual, even if I limit myself to public Festivals and similar events. I am not always at ease taking photos of them, but there are moments that are worth it. This was one of them.
