Cando era un rapaz, gastei os primeiros aforros nunha Canon AV5. A miña primeira réflex analóxica. Como de aquela non tiña moitos cartos, compraba a película en branco e negro por metros e despois eu mesmo cargaba os carretes. Despois eu mesmo os revelaba e positivaba as fotos cunha ampliadora. De esa fotos non hai ningunha por aquí. O proceso era lento e custoso. Despois intereseime pola fotografía dixital e merquei a primeira réflex dixital unha Nikon D3100, que sempre me resultou demasiado pesada. Agora fago fotos cun móbil que merquei de segunda man (un LGE LM-K410). Polo momento estou contento, aínda que o pobre móbil está a punto de petar. Mais en épocas de crise enerxética e climática supoño que temos que decrecer e non vale a pena mercar unha cámara sen espello que pesa case tanto como unha réflex. Co procesado das fotos estou a aprender e experimentar. Sempre uso software libre e gratuíto. Se alguén está lendo isto, probablemente sexa porque gusta das miñas fotos. Adoro que che gusten. Grazas.

When I was a kid, I spent my first savings on a Canon AV5. My first analog reflex camera. As I didn't have much money at the time, I bought the black and white film by metres and loaded the films myself. Then I developed and printed the photos myself with an enlarger. There are none of those photos around here. The process was slow and expensive. Then I became interested in digital photography and bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D3100, which was always too heavy for me. Now I take pictures with a mobile phone I bought second hand (a LGE LM-K410). For the moment I'm happy, although the poor mobile phone is on the verge of breaking down. But in these times of energy and climate crisis I suppose we have to decrease and it's not worth buying a mirrorless camera that weighs almost as much as a reflex camera. With photo processing I am learning and experimenting. I always use free and open source software. If someone is reading this, it's probably because you like my photos. I love that you like them. Thank you.
