I've always had a great interest on photography but only when I got the news of my wife's pregnancy of our 2nd child I knew I had to finally incorporate this old dream of learning the techniques, acquiring an equipment and developing my own style.

The techniques have been gracefully given by Ted Forbes on his "The Art of Photography" podcast series, and following "Masterclass live". I'll always be most thankful for his dedication and excellent teaching.

My first equipment was a Sony alpha SLR-290, which got me inspired to go out and shoot, and also to invest in more equipment. Also to have the full experience of photography I've acquired a 1964 Pentax Spotmatic that used 35mm film, and had some excellent experience of shooting and developing my own work. The equipment improved with time and the photos come naturally. But even now having full-frame last generation camera with built-in AI features, lenses that we have to upgrade firmware, etc... some of the best photos were with my first camera.

For the style, my photos look just like they've been shot. I have nothing against Photoshop, in fact in the past I've used a lot. But after experiencing the film photography I believe that photo is more about the soul you capture in it, not if it is perfectly aligned and cropped.
