Frank Coronado IMG_5123.jpg

Hola, my name is Frank Coronado and my two pasions are traveling and photography. I'm 44 yo and I live in Oaxaca and it's pronounced Wah-Ha-Ka (try to say it), It's in south Mexico and we are one of the best food destinations in the whole country, also you can find a lot of artcreafts, traditions and celebratios, I'll speak more about in in further posts.

In 1998 I obrained my bachelor degree in graphic design from “Universidad Iberoamericana” in Puebla, Mexico, where I got specialized in analog and digital photography.

I also had the opportunity to study with renowned photographer Mary Ellen Mark in 2012 and, at that time, I started working on “Divino pretexto” (Divine excuse) a documentary photography project on wich I visited diferent villages close to Oaxaca City looking to portrait local catholic feasts and show the way the people use to celebrate according to their traditions and showcase the cultural diversity of my hometown to the world.

Currently, I'm working on different projects. In 2015, I initiated a project of intervined landscapes called: “Usted no esta aquí” that stands for 'You are not here'. For such project I've been photographing outstanding landscapes in eleven countries, including Mexico.

I'm happy to welcome you and I know that your existence will help this community especially those steemians who love photography. =)
Keep up the good work and see you around. =)

Love all those landscapes you did with the red ball in each of them. Interesting concept.

@Mountainwashere's Guide for New Users:

Welcome to Steemit! It's got a steep learning curve, but it's worth it in the long run if you keep putting in the time! Just know that it will take quite a while before you start getting attention and followers. The biggest secret to success? Keep posting high quality content regularly, and make sure to search out other people's posts, read them, and give relevant comments.

Tagging is extremely important. Always make sure to use all five possible tags, and to keep them relevant. You can always just tag something "blog" or "photography" or something else really general (so long as it's still relevant) to fill the quota if you need to- most of your tags should be established ones, though one or two less used ones are fine.

Posting more than four times a day can reduce your potential rewards, as well as turning off potential users. (I aim for one post per day most of the time.) Consistency is important, though, so try to have a regular posting schedule. You should also be sparing with resteems- only do it for really important posts. (I resteem a post once a month or less, generally.)

Always make sure to attach a photo to your posts! You should also have a finished profile: Write a description, add a profile picture and a banner- neither needs to be a photo of you, necessarily, but you should have something- and set a website.

There are a lot of really good resources out there for plankton and minnows (new users). You should check out the following groups and services, they offer a lot of valuable resources:

@thesteemengine (Check this one out first- they're an extremely supportive group that can help out in a lot of ways.)
@qurator (These guys offer an excellent liftime upvote to accounts that post consistent quality content.)
@steembasicincome (Another lifetime upvote option.)
@steemstem (The biggest and best STEM curation group in the game. If you're interested in writing or reading about science, check these guys out!)
@geopolis (A fairly new science curation group, this one's dedicated to the study of the Earth.)
@ocd (A curation group that seeks out undervalued new writers.)
@photocontests (Runs contests and provides other support for photographers.)

Much of the activity on steemit actually takes place off Steemit, on places like steemit.chat and discord. Learning to use them is a great idea.

And, again, the biggest thing is just patience. Breakout successes are incredibly rare on Steemit- you've got to find your way to success through perseverance and hard work. It takes time, but you'll eventually succeed if you put in the work.

Please feel free to repost this guide on the posts of other plankton & minnows you run into (though I'd appreciate it if you credit me.) If it was useful to you, feel free to check out my posts and give me a follow!

Thanks you so much for this info, I'm really new here and this is so usefull.

Of course! Let me know if you have any questions.

Sure I will.

Hello Frank welcome to the community of Steemit ❤ Great post.
I must say that I loved your #Introduceyourself is great for me to read the "presentations" of the other new Steemians like me on this platform ... Thank you for taking the time to write about yourself, about your life and let me know a part of what you are. I hope to read more about you soon, as well as I hope you can succeed in this social network.
By the way, I want to take this opportunity to tell you that, like you, I'm also new to this platform and I made my first post, I would greatly appreciate it if you read it and if you like it, give me a vote, comment something, give me resteem or follow me, I'll do the same if you want.
Without further ado, I say goodbye. I remain attentive to your next publications. 💋
@Mjzo here to support you in what you need. Regards!

Muchas gracias María José.
En breve entro a checar tus artículos.
Muchos saludos desde Oaxaca, México.
