Photography is Life

I have always understood photography as a personal fact. In the sense of telling like in a diary what I see, what I feel, what I experience.

When I was 10 years old I had no idea what street photography was. But I took pictures. I did it with film. Completely unconsciously. With very little technical knowledge, almost none. With my Fujica M-A1, on the other hand, I only had to select sun or clouds depending on the weather. Yet I made photography and lived it in a splendid way.

Today, when technical knowledge is clearly superior and there is an awareness that allows me to be intentional in the attempt (uh how much philosphical I am sometimes) I still use photography in my everyday. And my everyday is made with going to local markets, meeting friends, living life in the barrio.
