Drive around at 60Km/h, look, stop, park, shoot, go on.

I remember a sentence similar to that one, attributed to the photo book guide ‘Photographing with Fred Picker’, being ironically referenced in David Hurn and Bill Jay book ‘On being a photographer’.

Finally found a way up

I have seen and wandered around the hill on which this shelter is located hundreds of times, and every time I photographed it from the distance I couldn’t stand from thinking on how would it be to be up there and take some close-ups.

I think we’ll never know what happened through the mind of the first person who looked there, to the nowhere, and then decided to go and find out. But if one spends some time looking, and as impossible as it is, tries to put himself in the shoes of that person, will soon realize that [...]

Closer

It was a revelation, suddenly being able to get closer. Even more revealing was to realize that I badly wanted to do so.
Fue una revelación el poder de repente acercarme tanto. Y aún lo fue más el darme cuenta de que había estado rogando por poder hacerlo.
