Madrid Río. December 2012

Pictures shot together with my friends and awesome mobile photographers @olgavimo & @jordi_galera, when they came to Madrid to visit me. We are all in love with Perrault´s bridge in Madrid Río, from inside and from outside of it. It´s an endless source of great photos.

Fotos hechas junto a mis amigos, e increíbles fotógrafos móviles, @olgavimo y @jordi_galera, cuando vinieron a Madrid a verme. Todos estamos enamorados del Puente de Perrault, en Madrid Río, desde dentro de él, o desde fuera. Es una inagotable fuente de grandes fotos.

Lights & Shadows in Reina Sofia Museum´s atrium. December 2012

Pictures of the atrium in Reina Sofia Museum, shot whith my friends @olgavimo, @jordigalera & @joselin74 when the first two ones came to Madrid to visit Joselín and myself. 

This is a wonderful vertical space, composed of ancient and modern arquitecture, living together in harmony, where LIGHT is the main character. I´m not posting the square format pics uploaded to IG, but the original and vertical pics, which are much more convinient this time.

I take advantage of this post to intoduce for the first time the hashtag #joselines, in memory, honor and justice of Joselín, @joselin74, an amazing mobile photographer.

Two Honorable Mentions in the World Mobile Photography Awards 2012.

Last Saturday 26/02/2013 I went to bed really happy. That day I found out that I had gotten two Honorable Mentions in the World Mobile Photography Awards, probably the most important awards dedicated to mobile photography in the world. 

One photo was included in the categoty of "Architecture/Design", the reflection on a puddle of the Royal Academy of History, Madrid, just in front of my home. This photo had already been chosen as Editor´s selection in 500px. It is a very especial photo to me!

The other one was included in the category of "Performing Arts", and it is the picture of the street musicians playing music in front of El Corte Ingles´s showcase. This photo wass the one most sold during my last exhibition "URBAN SCENES" and it brings me good luck, because I was awarded with a four days trip to Scotland thanks to it!

My two potos will be exhibited in the Soho Gallery for Digital Arts, in New York, during February 22th to 28th. What a great news!!

I would like to congratulate all winners and mentions in the different categories, and especially my dear collegue Jose Luis, @joseluisbarcia , who has been also awarded with two Honorable Mentions. I would like to thank Mobile Photography Awards for these Mentions. Let´s make mobile photography a well known Art throughout the world!!

Vídeo del taller "Arquitectura en la fotografía móvil". CICUS, Sevilla

Os presento aquí el vídeo de la conferencia que impartí dentro del taller: "Arquitectura en la fotografía móvil" del pasado 18/01/2013 en el CICUS, Sevilla. El vídeo es casero, parte fue grabado con mi cámara de video doméstica, y parte con la Samsung Galaxy Camera, por lo que luego he tenido que editarlos: convirtiéndolos a avi,unirlos en un solo vídeo y subirlo a YouTube, procedimiento totalmente nuevo para mí.

Desgraciadamente no se grabó la demostración en vivo del uso de FrontView, porque coincidió con el final de una de las grabaciones. Por otro lado, me disculpo porque el audio es pésimo, sobre todo las partes grabadas con la cámara Samsung, que estaba muy lejos de mí, por lo que apenas le llega mi voz. Os recomiendo el uso de auriculares.

One of my pics in Book Style´s guide about Madrid / Una de mis fotos en las guías de Book Style

Book Style, the free guide about Madrid and Barcelona, distributed in the rooms of every hotel of 4 and 5 stars in Madrid, asked me last November if they could use one of my pics for the article about Malasaña that was going to be published in the guide Madrid 2013. After making clear that they would give me all credits, but that they were not going to pay for it, I decided to allow them the use of the picture, provided that I would have one of my pics in 25.000 hotel rooms.

The picture is a square format pic, with a diagonal reflection of San Vicente Ferrer street, where I lived for 4 years. Unfortunately, they have cropped the pic and the diagonal is not clearly understood. I post here the original photo.

Interviewed by Marie Claire / Entrevistado por Marie Claire

During my last exhibition "URBAN SCENES", I was contacted by Paula Aránzazu Ruiz, @paulaarantzazu on IG, journalist collaborator for Marie Claire magazine, saying she was doing to write an article about IG for the February issue of the magazine, and wanted to interview me.

We met at La Piola, where I was having my exhibition, and we had a very pleasant conversation. She told me she had been present during my speech at The App Fest, and had asked for my email to the organization. She also said that the article was about the story of different IGers, each one with a profile, a story and a very different gallery. The following IGers are also featured in the article: @misshedwig, @fermainguyague, @marcventosa and @suemissindie. Nice to share story with you guys!
