Pano from Nuevitas Bay, in my last Trip to Cuba November 2007
Hi everybody!!!
My name is Cesar, a Cuban native living in Tampa FL. I want to SAY, I am not a Professional Photographer, but if the question is who am I?, well this is an easy answer, I am a Professional Amateur Photographer, a light hunter, a moments hunter, a Microsoft Certified System Engineer and a Web Developer.
Getting the composition Ready
Choosing Nikon wasn’t just a matter of choice, Nikon dictate for me perfection, exquisite design and superb image quality, I am capturing moments and hunting for light since I was 14 years old, back in Cuba I did start playing with light using a Bilia camera (from the Former Soviet Union, Lomo Factory) and printing over my father’s friend studio in a kids hospital, then and after a few years upgrade to Leica M2, a perfect camera for me, of course my photography maestro gave it to me after being discontinued, I did really enjoy using this machine.
A period of time in my photography life that mark my style and the way I do interpret light and composition was back in my college career, after have been photographing everything and start shooting for a local rock band, back in 1993, I finally met a Real Maestro, the person who taught the principals of being a good photographer, or at least make you a good photographer for yourself, even if your art is not good for somebody else eyes. I did move all this knowledge back to college, in my four year (Law School) I was teaching first year General Photography, and second Year Advance photography in the CSI Program (Crime Scene Investigation) I was really enjoying this task, no questions ask!.
Now, and being here in this beautiful city and country I can say that my art move to the next level, the one I call Personal Satisfaction and Enjoyment, I have a job that I really love (Systems Administrator and Web Development for a Housing Agency) and I have my gear to capture the moments that going to make me remember how good it was.
No more to say, only thanks for stopping by, hope you like what I do have in my personal collections, all critics are more than welcome; is the only way to have or to better our daily work.
As usual, happy light hunting folks, remember having fun doing photography, make you better and put a little bit of happiness in your daily life.
