I found peace in photography.

in photography •  7 years ago 

When I country is as mine was. Devastated by a horrible administration, people dying for hunger, disease, insecurity. You have no choice but to leave your country behind, and so I did. I left Venezuela, once a beautiful country with kind people, now in the verge of destruction. Couldn't recognize my own country and so I left with that image in my head.

I arrived at another country and comparing to mime didn't make things any better. Food, medicine, law, rules. I found myself in a good place but my head couldn't fathom how bad was for the people still out there.

This is where I found a new passion that would help me drain all the stress and all the worries didn't disappeared but it calm me a lot.

I took my amateur camera and the little I know about photography and went for a walking just to find myself amazed with the views. I found peace. I found passion. I found Salvation.

This is how I started, admiring nature, learning some skills on my own. Trying to capture exactly what I see in front of me. To make everyone feel overwhelmed, to make them feel peace.

What you see is no mistake, I developed a taste for nature, specially green. Trees have so many different ways to be beautiful and some people don't see it. Nature is what gives is life, but also what gives us beauty. There is nothing more beautiful in this world that nature.

This is only the beginning of a journey that still goes on and I hope it has a happy ending, but for now, hope you follow it as it goes :).
