¡HOLA!
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.
This proyect has been exhibited in NYC and Paris.
I've had participated in multiple exhibitions in Spain, Portugal, United Stated (Brooklyn, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Francisco & Washington), UK (London), Ireland, Japan, Peru, Colombia, Philippines, Singapore and different states within Mexico.
I 've been collaborating with magazines such as Vogue USA, Mexico and Latin America and National Geographic Traveller.
I'm also a dog lover and I adopted two straydogs, Jack (left) is the one I had firts and then I had another one that had a name but I changed it for Rose (right). yes, you guessed, those are the Titanic characters.
This is a little bit abou tm, what I do and where I live, by the way, have you heard about my hometown (Oaxaca) before?
And what about Hierve el Agua?
Let's keep in touch so I can show you more about my photo work and the places where I've been.

@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!
