NY

As I said in the last post (post II) I want to live in (and of course visit) NYC, not because is in the US but because it is NEW YORK CITY. When I was younger I wanted to live in England (just because it has bad weather, I hate sunny days) but that changed the moment I decided to study Photography. The truth is that I got everything kind of planned, the idea is to leave Chile like in 5 years with one of my best friends (she studies publicity)

We both love NY because the whole city is related to what we do, every tendency is born there, and because in there, mostly all kinds of art is appreciated and well paid.

We were thinking in living in Chinatown in Manhattan, I know that Manhattan is expensive, but that's why we want to live in Chinatown, we could do it in the Bronx.. but that will be a little far away from the 'artistic' part of the city (Broadway - yes, I’m interested in theater too -, TriBeCa, NoLita, etc).

The idea is to get to work like a fashion photographer there.

The language is not really a problem, I don't really speak English in the proper way, I mean, I'm sure this blog is full of misspellings, but in a city that is made of immigrants... I don't really think that the language is going to be a problem, and anyway, I think I can manage myself there.

My ideal job

My ideal job is to be a photographer, that’s pretty much why I study photography, this may sound a little egocentric, but I know that I have a future on it; I have a good technique and a good eye, and a lot of faith in my (someone has to have it, and if it isn’t me then who?)

I had always liked photography, since I was a child, so, I’m kind of reaching my dream or goal or something like that, I just have to keep going.

I want to work in fashion photography, working in a studio is the best, of course I want to do personal projects too, but I want to get paid for taking pictures for magazines and such, the fashion world is an interesting one, and I have always been interested in working with models, I don’t like casualties in a picture, everything it has to be prepared, everything it has to be exact, even perfect, that’s why I like studio photography, I’m a little bit of a control freak.

Im not sure if it will be difficult to get the job, when you are good at something, it usually isn’t, but anyways, I don’t want to work in here, i want to go to New York City with one of my best friends (she’s a publicist), we both know our place isn’t here.

Last Semester

Last semester was a good one, I learned new techniques in serigraphy, which is my favorite discipline after photography, I got to work in aluminum with acids, that was amazing and I had a good time doing it, the only problem was that it was smelly as hell.

In my free time I keep attending to scout, I can’t leave them, I got too much responsibilities with the boys in there that I can’t just leave, but last semester was kind of troublesome, I got less and less time so it’s becoming really hard to go.

That I remember, I didn’t have any trouble in general, it was a good semester, I had good grades, met new friends, I had lots and lost of good days.

Even my family had a good semester, it’s seems that life is getting brighter and brighter.

I think the only awful thing was the weather, we where supposed to be in winter, but it barely rained, I miss old winters, when everything was really cold and there was lots rainy days.
