Why do I take photographs?
I really don’t know. Some of them I took to remember, some to show my world and my memories to other people. But some of them… I really don’t know. Susan Sontag wrote that “to collect photographs is to collect the world”. It is the capture of a moment, the moment of a person in particular. She also wrote that “to photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed”. Even though that thing (or person) doesn’t exist anymore.
Photography is immortal. That make us and our time, immortal too. Photography is like breathing to me. I can’t stop doing it.
Why do I take photographs? I take photographs because it makes me happy.
¿Por qué hago fotos?
Realmente no lo sé. Algunas las hago para recordar, otras para mostrar mi mundo y mis recuerdos a otra gente. Pero otras… realmente no lo sé. Susan Sontag escribió que “coleccionar fotografías es coleccionar el mundo”. Es la captura de un momento, el momento de una persona en particular. También escribió que “fotografiar es apropiarse del objeto fotografiado”. Incluso si ese objeto (o persona) ya no existe.
La fotografía es inmortal. Eso nos hace, y a nuestro tiempo, inmortales también. La fotografía es como respirar para mí. No puedo dejar de hacerlo.
¿Por qué hago fotos? Hago fotos porque me hace feliz.
Hi, can you find coordinates for Campiello del Cristo picture? Google maps doesn’t return anything really, and it’s important for me to find exact place as I have a photo of my dad there in the 70’s, much obliged if you could help me out 🙂
Hi Joanna!
The truth is we got lost … ^^U so we didn’t have any intention to go there in the first place (but I’m so glad we did!)
But I’ve searched Campiello del Cristo and I’ve found these infos:

Thank you! I started taking photos in March this year, finally got into my stride after a couple of packs of film. The Mallorcan sun seemed to really help me get the effects I imagined may be possible 😄
