I like all kinds of photography. Have always thought every mind is a universe. There is people that like flowers, or kids, or landscapes, or black and white. Some like photos straight from the camera, some, highly processed images. So I respect every way of thinking, and every way of seeing or capturing images. Tolerance to difference is cool. Intolerance is not. The first creates; the later limits, restricts, impoverishes. As there is no such a thing as a “right” religion, or a “right” political orientation, there is no “right” way of being creative. Cavemen used vegetables and mineral dyes, Renaissance sculptors used marble, Impressionists canvas and oil based pigments, we use digital photography, Photoshop, HDR….. or not.
My goal is to learn, to enjoy, to create beautiful images, to make good friends….
I hope you will like some of my pictures!
For short....
Daydreamer.
Hardworking.
Life lover.
Beauty, nature, wildlife and arts fan.
Mexican.
I did all my shooting with Olympus cameras up until April 2011. I tried a Nikon D7000….. and I just switched. The ability to capture dark scenes, at high ISO while holding details and capacity for enlarging without losing detail, excited me!. I shoot Nikon 35 mm film cameras when I was a teenager, so I am not new to the brand. The SB-900 flash is a marvel, and so is the 50mm 1.4 G lens….. I am more than pleased.
Of course, that is just my appreciation. The photos I am more satisfied with were all taken with my Olympuses, I will see what I can do with my new toy…..
I also use an Olympus SP570uz, a cross between a compact and a SLR. A compact, take everywhere, high performance beauty. It is always in my backpack, so many of my favorite, most spontaneous pictures have been taken with this one.
Also, being an amateur photographer for years, I shoot more than my share with film. I am the proud owner of an Olympus OM1n, a mechanical, all manual jewel, by the Japanese genius Maitani.
Lucky me! Oh, and most of my stuff goes inside three Domke bags
I wasn't using Photoshop, what a caveman, right? But I know better today, I bought Elements 9, and I think it is a marvel!
Aaaaand..... lately I been using the wonder called Photomatix Pro 3, for HDR. This program, and Elements 9 are the dynamic duo of photography.
So, I keep trying, learning....
Even if I have to clone myself!
Or find a black and white hand.....
I'll keep shooting, that's for sure! : )

I met Jose a few weeks ago in Flickr, his humour and kindness became apparent after just a few days. He takes time to comment and acknowledge your comments, a very thoughtful person in a lot of ways. I enjoy his photography immensely, it is so passionate, I do not know if it is because of the heat that he lives in, but his images are strong and bold and one never knows what is coming next. Jose, nice knowing you my friend.

If Flickr is a Family, Then, Purolipan is like my elder brother. He is never tired in saying an encouraging word for me. (I believe that he is doing the same with all his friends.) Sometimes, he makes me feel that he is born to encourage !!! He is a Great Mexican with all the patriotism in him but loves the entire world. He is proud of his great ancestral culture but he is very humble and never hesitates to appreciate the good traditions of his friends. A Great mountaineer with a wish to stand above the clouds... and yet, I understand him as a pure Family Man. I have no doubt - He is a hard worker but, I guess him to be very sensitive and sentimental also. You know, some times he writes sweet poetry. ( in his comments ) Often, I find a great philosopher too, in him. Thus, My brother has many good qualities in him. { I am sure, I am going to find out many other in future :-) } I wish the world be filled with many people like my brother. Then, I am sure, you love to live any number of years in this world !!! Regards to my brother and all his family members. Srinivasa Krishna
