Inicio: [Stair To Heaven] _ Nudo: [Knot & Thorns] _ Desenlace: [Tower & Fumes]

 

In my short career as an amateur photographer, I have only participated in one photography award.

Along with other photos, I could submit a piece that had a theme or told a story, so I submitted this triptich.

I found interesting to use the culture and historical tradition of a town close to where I live. The town is Paterna (Valencia). In it there are caves excavated in the rock and in the ground that have historically been used as homes. Sequences from one of Almodóvar's last film have been shot in this town and in one of the caves.

To cut long story short: near the caves there is a historic medieval tower in which I decided to tell the story through three images... well, I sent the photos but the organization never contacted me, not even to tell me that I was selected or discarded, and unfortunately, this is how the story with these photographs ends.

My dream as a beginner photographer was that somehow my work would be considered, even if it wasn't awarded. It was not so.

I never knew what was wrong with this and I got a little frustrated.

Here you have as a triptich the photos I presented: inicio, nudo y desenlace (start, middle knot and ending), basically the three elements that make up a written or narrated story.

I hope you'll enjoy it.
