A couple of weeks ago I received an e-mail from Lope Gutiérrez-Ruiz, co-organizer of the Venezuelan art festival Por el Medio de la Calle, editor of Plátanoverde magazine (in Spanish), and co-founder of The Gopher Illustrated – the latter ones being platforms for emerging artists. For the second issue of the Gopher the team was planning a feature about “urban landscape” and Lope asked me if I would like to participate by contributing some of my haikyo pictures. Considering that I started “real” photography without any kind of education (learning only by doing) just 10 months earlier I was equally surprised and flattered. Of course I agreed and today Lope made the collaboration official by publishing a short announcement on the front page of the Gopher’s homepage. The second print issue of the Gopher will be released in mid-December and of course I will mention it again then; just in case you want to buy a copy of the magazine via their online shop…

Congrats 🙂
To be honest I had no idea you weren’t trained; I had always wanted to ask about it but didn’t want to be nosy or rude.
Thanks!
Usually I roll with the punches. Like learning night photography when I was at Nara Dreamland just by playing around with the camera. Or on the weekend I shot some vases in pitch-black darkness – I had no experience, but only my camera, a tripod and two flashlights. (And I like to keep it simple: JPG, no post production – sometimes it works, sometimes I’m actually not that pleased with the result; like most of the Nara Dreamland daylight shots…)
