My favourite piece of technology

I remember when I was 9 or 10 years old I asked my dad a compact analog camera, a very basic type. Also I remember that the wanted: to take photographs of landscapes, no familiar portraits, because I found that everyone did that, and people went bankrupt the fund, which was what really mattered.

Now I have about 10 cameras, including analog cameras, digital, Hi8, etc, being the most

used my cellphone's camera because I'm always carrying it (the iPhone's camera gives very good results) with which I get around 1500 photos per month.

I'm a big fan of photography and video. I really enjoy using a camera. In my opinion taking photographs on a particular moment allows me to not forget (I have terrible memory and I think that photography allows me to not forget things).

Why I choose Filmmaking 

I remember during my life had thought of many professions. Veterinary and surgeon in primary, then architecture, law, engineering, and many more. Weeks before applying to university, journalism. But if I was sure it was something that fascinated me so much the art in general.

During my last year of school I dedicated myself to watch classic Hollywood movies like Casablanca. The moment I decided to study film was after seeing Dr. Zhivago (1962) directed by David Lean. Each shot was so beautiful, and much more to the story that illustrated: a great romantic drama set in the Russian Revolution. That was what I wanted to do with my life, tell stories through the magic of cinema.

Now I am in my fourth year of career, time in wich I doubted whether it was the right choice but the minoriry of the time. I like what I'm studying.

In the future I would like to work as a filmmaker in some area that excites me as a writer, cinematographer or director; although work on television is not an option to discard.
