Invitado a la Jornada "Innovación Turística". Haro, La Rioja

En Semana Santa me contactó Jimmy Pons para invitarme el fin de semana del 26 al 28 de abril a Haro, La Rioja. Allí se celebrará el sábado 27 la Jornada: "Claves de Innovación Turísitca para la Empresa", a la que me invitan como ponente de la mesa redonda para hablar de "Instagram como herramienta de impacto sual en el Turismo". En esta mesa redonda se hablará también del mundo del video, imagen, tecnología, web, tv, geolocalización, etc, a cargo de: Enrique Dans, Susana Alosete, Juan Merodio y Antonio Domingo.

Además, el sábado por la mañana está prevista una gimkana por la ciudad de Haro, usando como herramienta una nueva aplicación que ha desarrollado el Gobierno de La Rioja, Haro in game,  para promocionar el turismo en la zona. Junto a ello, han programado una serie de actividades, las cuales, unidas al hecho de que viajo con toda la familia, harán que este fin de semana sea muy interesante e inolvidable.

Aprovecho para dar las gracias a Jimmy Pons, en particular,  y a La Rioja, en general, por esta invitación.

Virtual exhibition with my pics / Exposición virtual con mis fotos. kuchi.fm

I met Antonio González last year. He runs one of the leading blogs about photography, kuchi.fm, with more than 3.500 photographers subscribed to it. Since then, I´ve seen him several times. He dedicated me his "photographer´s day" on Twitter on December 31st. Well, he has started a new section on his web where he virtually exhibits the work of people he considers interesting somehow. 

A few weeks ago, he emailed me asking me if I would be interested in exhibiting ten of my pics on this new section. I told him I was, of course! I thought at first about exhibiting pics of reflections, but there´s no story behind a reflection. Instead, I finally chose of ten pics of urban scenes in Madrid, because each photo has a beautiful story behind. I entitled it "Madrid and its people". You can see the exhibition in here. I want to thank Antonio and his web warmly for being always so kind to me, for his nice words of introduction and for this beautiful exhibition!

The little backlighted girl / La niña pequeña a contraluz. February 2013

One Sunday morning, while having a drink with my family around Latina neighborhood inside a lovely place, a couple of kids started paying in and out on the threshold,. I inmediately saw that I had a beautiful picture to capture, taking into advantage the darkness oinside the place, and the strong light coming through the open doors. This is the result.

Una mañana de domingo, mientras tomaba el aperitivo con mi familia en un garito precioso del barrio de la Latina, un par de niños empezaron a jugar en el umbral. Inmediatamente ví que tenía una foto preciosa para capturar, aprovechando la oscuridad del local y la fuerte luz que entraba por su puerta. Éste es el resultado.

Nuria´s bicycle / La bici de Nuria. La Piola. February 2013

Nuria works at La Piola, a beautiful place around my place, where I usually go with my family to have something at midday. It is also the place where I´ve had my two individual exhibitions. It´s a lovely place. Nuria comes cycling to work, and keeps her bike at the bottom of the bar. One day I found myself in front of this lovely scene and couldn´t help capturing it. I hope you like it, I do. ;-).

Even LIGHT falls in love with my beautiful Candela.

Today is my birthday, and I can´t think of a better way to celebrate it here than posting a picture of one of the people I love most, my beautiful 9 years old Candela. When I posted it on IG, I entitled it: "Even LIGHT falls in love with my beautiful Candela". I think it is the perfect title for my eldest princess.

Hoy es mi cumpleaños, y no se me ocurre mejor manera de celebrarlo aquí que subiendo una foto de una de las personas que más quiero, mi preciosa Candela de 9 años. Cuando lo subí a IG lo titulé: "Incluso la LUZ se enamora de mi preciosa Candela". Creo que es el mejor título para mi princesa mayor.

Watching TV at night / Viendo la tele por la noche. February 2013

When I watch TV at home at night, I turn off all the lights. It´s like being in the cinema. However, my living room is not dark at all, because it has three beatuful balconies, through wich the light coming form tha street lamps pours inside. These picture wre shot whila watching "The margin call". 

Cuando veo la tele por la noche, apago todas las luces. Es como estar en el cine. Sin embargo, mi salón no se queda a oscuras en absoluto, porque tiene tres balcones preciosos, por los cuales se cuela la luz de las farolas de la calle. Estas fotos fueron hechas mientras veía "The margin call".

Capaña #FoodShareFilter de Manos Unidas contra el hambre.

I recieved yesterday an email sent by Manos Unidas, inviting me to participate in the campaign #FoodshareFilter on Instagram. This is a campaign in which the money paid for each download of FoodShareFilter application is destined to famine relief programs by Manos Unidas

Of course, I did not hesitate, and this morning I uploaded my picture of food in 30 months and more than 3,500 photos as Instagram user. I encourage everyone to participate in it. It is only € 0.89, and I think it is worth it.

Martina playing with bubbles / Martina jugando con pompas. Plaza Mayor, Madrid. February 2013

Pictures shot a Sunday morning, at Plaza Mayor. Mi youngest daughter, Martina, saw a man making huge soap bubbles, and started to play with them. When editing, I played with ColorSplash on those pictures I turned into black and white, leaving in color what could be seen through the bubble

Fotos hechas un domingo por la mañana, en la Plaza Mayor. Mi hija pequeña. Martina, vio a un hombre que estaba haciendo pompas de jabón gigantes, y empezó a jugar con ellas. Al editarlas, jugué con ColorSplash en aquellas fotos que convertí en blanco y negro, dejando a color aquello que se veía a través de la burbuja.
