¿Cómo y por qué te metiste en el mundo de la fotografía?
Desde pequeña me intereso mucho la foto, esa afición me la inculcó mi padre porque a él también le apasiona. Él me regaló mis primeras dos cámaras, una Kodak de 35 mm. y posteriormente su joya, una polaroid. Actualmente las conservo como si fueran mis dos niñas. Cuando terminé de estudiar preparatoria, seguidamente empecé Comunicación Audiovisual, y ahí fue cuando me di cuenta de que lo mío era estudiar fotografía. Tenía mucha curiosidad de aprender a revelar y a sacar mis propias copias. Me encantaba la idea de pasarme horas y días enteros en un laboratorio con la lucecita roja y viendo surgir de la nada una imagen que se había convertido en recuerdo. Así que a los 19 años tuve la oportunidad de viajar a Barcelona a estudiar fotografía.  Y aquí sigo, enamorada de mi profesión.

Tarifa has a lot to offer out of high season and we would like to present you with some interesting options for either treat yourself, buying that special someone a Christmas present or something to decorate the home.
It's amazing what you can find when you thought that there was nothing, simply by changing the perspective.
A computer engineer friend of mine told me that on certain occasion, how routine kept him from seeing the solution to a problem that he was struggling with for a long time. His calculations always led him into error, even though he kept on going over and over the formulas. Tired of working without success, he decided to go for a walk to clear his mind. He strolled the stores. In one of them he bought some earrings for his wife. In another he bought an ice cream. Then, he sat on a park bench to watch the people and the trees. When he finished the ice cream, as if by magic, another way to tackle the problem came to mind. He ran to his office to review the calculations and suddenly he found the solution. He also realized that during all that time he had the answer in front of his very eyes, and it was not until he took some time off that he could see it clearly.
I guess the moral of this story is you have to take a break, for example, stroll around Tarifa.
