Introduction


Pinceladas. Bariloche, Rio Negro, Argentina

Hi, and welcome to my new photography blog. Let me try to explain what you and I are doing here in yet another photography blog.

First, what you will find in this blog. Images, lots and lots of images. I like photographing landscapes, both during the day and during the night, wildlife and a sometimes I do a little macro.

I will try to post at least once a week, but if time permits I will post as much as I can. With every picture I will write a short explanation about the way I composed the picture, the decisions I made, how I could have made it better. Hopefully you will take a few minutes to write your opinion, remember that part of the idea of creating a blog is the ability to interact with you.

Second, what you will not find in this blog. News about new cameras, lenses, filters, camera straps, memory cards, tripods, backpacks, etc. For that there are an infinite (and still growing!) number of sites that are way better than anything I could make.

Third, why is this in english? I am from Argentina, and my main language is spanish. Since keeping the blog in two versions would be too difficult, I decided to keep it in english. Hopefully that will allow me to access a bigger number of people.

If in the future, the number of spanish speaking readers is big enough, I might make a second version of the blog.

Fourth, why now? This one is a little bit trickier, but let me see what I can do.

Tomorrow I will be moving to El Chalten, a small town in Patagonia Argentina. The reason is that since I love landscape photography and being outdoors, it was easier for me to move there than to wait for my vacations every year. It will be hard, since I will be leaving my family and friends, but I will also be able to come back in six months at the end of the season.

If all goes according to the plan (right... because it always does!) I will be able to go out almost every day, allowing me to photograph the beautiful mountain range where it is located. Mountains, forest, lakes, rivers, waterfall, glaciers... El Chalten seems to have them all. It also has a terrible weather, know to drive people crazy, but bad weather tends to create spectacular light shows.

I also have a website at www.iniclof.com.ar, where you can find some old photos. So far most of it is from Buenos Aires, the city I live now, but with time I hope to add more content.

Fifth... that’s it I guess. You will have to wait a few days for my next post since my number one priority once I arrive is to find a job, but once I do I will do all I can keep this blog updated.

If you like, you can subscribe to my RSS feed or my newsletter to receive my updates. You can also send this to a friend to help me promoting the blog.

I will leave you one final image. See you around!
