After waiting for "the right time" to make my website public, I decided once and for all to take the plunge. Those of you who know me, know how long I thought about it and have worked on it.
I have been someone who has lived in fear for a long time. I feared people being prejudice towards me. I feared that I would not meet expectations and that I would make mistakes; I know that I am not alone when it comes to these fears because it's something that happens to all of us. But here I am today, wanting to share with you my experiences of life.
I consider that I am very demanding with myself and that I have not reached my goals regarding what I hope one day to achieve in my photographic career. I am wanting to continue to enhance my growth in this vocation, and this has been the motivator for starting this blog today.
I have just turned 31 and I am someone who has a passion for art and traveling. I was born and raised in Aguascalientes, Mexico. A year ago, I left my country to settle in Europe, specifically in France. France was not my initial plan, but I followed my life’s saying, "Hakuna Matata" and followed a series of fortunate events that lead me to take this opportunity. To this day, I do not regret my choice because I think it has been an excellent experience which has helped me discover new cultures, new ways of understanding the world, and new ways of expressing love and zest for life.
After realizing all missed opportunities that I could have taken to create new projects and express my inner self, I now am willing to take the next step and put my fear aside. I began writing this blog to share my process and progress in photography. I will share my life experiences so that you can have a deeper understanding of what this career means to me. Through this website, you will find inspirations, anecdotes, facts, and most importantly, photos!
This is one project that I will use to keep motivating me to continue with my passion.
Welcome to my Blog!! This is a place created for you so that I can show you who I am and show you my passions as well as my dedication towards achieving my goals.
I hope after reading this blog, you will have learned more about me and I especially hope that you can find some inspiration to conquer your fears as well.
"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not the one who does not feel fear, but the one who conquers that fear. "
