Photography


I enjoy taking photos, but in this moment I don´t have a camera, I lost it in a concert. When I had it I took so many photos especially in the school.
Now I have a professional analog camera but I don’t use it very often because it is very complicated and I can’t handle all its functions yet, but I hope to learn soon.

Is very difficult think in a photo that I like because there are too many good photos. But an important photo that I want to share whit you is this, taken for the photojournalist Robert Capa in 1944 during the Normandy invasion in the 2nd world war. The photo shows how the soldiers landing on the coast of Omaha and reflect all the drama of that scene.
That day he took over one hundred photos, but when ordered to reveal an accident occurred with the drying and only eight were saved, this is one of those eight.

I like it because this photo is important to the history of photography and the photojournalism, and is one of the first ways in which photography is used as social testimony. Also Robert Capa is one of the most important photojournalist of all time, and practically the first war photographer so this photo would be considered like a turning point.

technology is great


My favorite piece of technology is my notebook; my parents gave it to me three Christmas’s ago. I use it every day, for practically everything, chat with my friends, to make works for the university, save photos and videos, for entertainment, listen music, etc. I like it because with it, and the most of computers, you can make a lot of things, but notebooks are more practical because you can take it to anywhere. Life can’t be the same without it, because now all is connected by internet and social networks, if you don’t have an e-mail or facebook is like you didn’t exist. I love my notebook, but I would like to buy a Mac, because I need it in my career, cine&tv, to edit my short films. It would be more comfortable instead of coming to the university only for edit.
