Acabo de empezar el Atelier, el Taller de Jackie Rueda. Me moría por hacerlo. Cuando sacó las inscripciones, yo ya llevaba media hora esperando al ordenador, para no quedarme fuera! Jackie es una verdadera artista. Pura inspiración.
Estamos en la semana 1 y ya estoy ENCANTADA con todo el material que Jackie nos ha presentado. Unas ideas extraordinariamente bonitas, unos deberes magníficamente explicados y desarrollados. Este taller es incluso mejor que todo lo que me había iomaginado. Lo estoy disfrutando 300%. Lo recomiendo, es hasta terapéutico!


Y éste es el primer ejercicio:
L'atelier #1

What I love of Autumn is

color, and mood, and shapes, and tones, and the smell of soil, and the rain, and the clouds that tell you it's getting cold, and chesnuts, and leaves, and the woods on fire color, and the noise of fallen leaves under your feet, and the very special sky, and the sense of coziness, ... Yes, Autumn inspires me, definitely.

phototherapy

Photography is a hobby for me, but it is also therapy, sometimes. Wherever I am through emotional ups and downs, I tend to solve them through photos. I express what is going on, words flow in my mind, but somehow I am unable to speak them out, but in images which are very personal, kinda autobiographical. Then I feel better.

Para mí, la fotografía es un hobby, pero también tiene su lado terapéutico en ocasiones. Con frecuencia resuelvo mis altibajos emocionales a través de imágenes, que expresan lo que me pasa por mi cabeza. Las ideas y las palabras están ahí, fluyen, pero salen transformadas en imágenes, no se hacerlo de otro modo. Las fotos resultanmtes son muy personales, autobiográficas. Y me hacen sentir mucho mejor.

These are some little stories:
Miss G pretended she would find it on a map, knowing she wouldn't, for there's no map for unexplored emotions. Yet, she dreamed away.
"Miss G pretended she would find it on a map, knowing she wouldn't, for there's no map for unexplored emotions. Yet, she dreamed away."
"Miss G se engañaba a sí misma, pensando que lo encontraría en algún mapa, aunque en realidad sabía que no resultaría, pues no existen los mapas para sentimientos inexplorados. Y siguió soñando."

Miss G felt she had to leave. And she did so. And she wrote down what she felt.
"Miss G felt she had to leave. And she did so. And she wrote down what she felt."
"Miss G sintió que tenía que marcharse. y lo hizo. Y escribió todo lo que sentía."


Jackie Rueda proposed Dyphtics as this month's assignment in La Vuelta al Mundo (Around the World) and I loved it, I love telling stoies through dyphtics. Next story is in my mind already, I'm just waiting for the right moment to shoot.

Jackie Rueda propuso Dípticos como el tema para este mes en La Vuelta al Mundo, y me encantó. Me gusta contar historias en dípticos. La próxima historia ya está en mi cabeza, tan solo espero el momento adecuado para fotografiarlo.
