My intention, in that day, was to get closest as possible to Popocatelpetl volcano. Born in the Amazon Rain Forest country, I have never experienced earthquakes, tornados or volcanoes. All these natural events always called my attention. Unfortunately, a hailstorm covered up to 30cm of all nearby land, blocking the paths.
Carrying an analog camera, a couple of 120mm films and an Ipod (which I used to shoot this video) I got involved with the amiable peasants of the village. What amazes me the most about shooting documentaries is the exchange that always comes with it. Besides you shoot a piece, you increase as human being. It requires you an ability to be open to the environment and, mainly, the capacity of adaptation.
Right now I am based in Monterrey, Mexico, where I work as a photographer. Since I starte¬d traveling and being in contact with other cultures, I got a life goal: to step on as many places on earth as possible and make it my greatest learning.
Thereafter, every piece of work that comes out from the very inside of ones soul will be full of density and ready to be appreciated from who sees it from outside.
