With the
actually technology many people thinks that they are professionals
photographers because they have a cell phone with a so pretty camera. However
maybe they don’t know that another people are dedicated to photography professional
and they many times studied for this.
The last Christmas
my mother gave me a semi-professional camera that I used in the summer
vacations. We went to Algarrobo and we walked to the “Humedal San Gerónimo”. In
this place I used my camera for the first one. I do photographs of many types
of dunks and a coipo (very similar to beavers). This pictures are significates
for me because then I do a curse of techniques of photography and now I think that
this is not easy hobby and you need to be very precise and you to have a very
good pulse.
Although I
like the photography, my favorite picture is not mine, it is a very famous image
for the Vietnam War. In the image you can see how an innocent girl run
away without clothing because her city was attacked with napalm and she was burned. Actually she is mother and she lives like everyone, but when she was a girl, she hated the photography because it was a very traumatic moment.
Sometimes I try to make a picture but my picture is not so beautiful like the professionals, because they really studied photography or cinema and now they are professionals in this area. I think
that photographers need more attention and need to be more valued because they capture little moments that marks the story.
The photo you chose is very shocking. Also, I think the same than you: photographers need more attention and they be more valued.
