Episode 135 and it's as if it were

almost the number one for me and I'm

even nervous for the mere fact that I've

been almost a month without recording myself and

without being in front of a camera recording

me because well I guess many of you

will know we have been almost three weeks

in Mexico and well we leave everything as

a set of videos recorded so that all

of you could have your videos weekly as

it has happened to you and the truth

is that we leave you recorded and I

have been, as I say, three weeks, well

four weeks already without being in front of

a camera and I have barely entered Patreon

so I apologize if I have not responded

to all the emails and all the stories

but the fact is that I have taken

these vacations and in this video I would

like, well, the main mission is simply to

tell you hello, I am here again, we

are here, Erika is already working on some

videos, I am here preparing another one and

this is a small preview of what you

are going to see in the following chapters

because today you already have a video but

in two days you are going to have

another video, but well, let's go in parts,

as the stripper said, and this video is

a little bit, as I tell you, you

can see that I did not manage to

focus or go straight to a line, the

fact is that in this video, as I

tell you, it is to say hello and

to share with you what has happened these

three or four weeks, in my case, the

truth is that it seems that it is

a little far away because life always advances

at a speed a little out of the

blue, but the fact is that, well, we

went to Mexico on the 14th, on the

14th we flew when the pandemic in Spain

was at its peak and in Mexico it

began to take off, the thing is that

I began to be quite, quite afraid of

flying to Mexico, it is not because it

is Mexico, it is and it is not

because everything that is to leave my country

and in this case we left with my

wife, with Erika, and with the little one,

with Leo, Leo is two and a half

years old, imagine what it means to go

to another country with a dwarf, take health

measures, everything that entails, we even forgot that

I was alone in Mexico, but of course,

the trip to Mexico was a vacation that

we already had to have gone in 2020,

in 2020, well, you all know what happened

in 2020, so we already said that we

were not going to go there and the

case is that in addition to some vacations

that we had and that we had to

visit both Vallarta, like Guadalajara, like Cancun and

of course through Mexico City, which was like

the base on which we were going to

move through the different cities of what Mexico

was, in addition to the holidays we had

four workshops and against all odds a wedding

that came out at the last moment, I

mean, when I say at the last moment,

with two days, with two days, I mean,

we were on a Thursday so calm on

the beach and we found out that I

only had to photograph a wedding on Saturday,

but I will tell you about that with

all the luxury of details in the next

chapters because I do not want to occupy

in this video other themes related to that

wedding because that wedding has a lot of

friends and I do not want to stop

more but first of all I do not

know because we would like to tell you

a little bit about the holidays because the

truth is that we enjoyed them as we

never did for a long time that we

did not go Erika and I and we

had never gone with Leo and the truth

is that at least I enjoyed it a

lot to be able to enjoy a little

and not of the family obviously but also

because of the photography and well I took

the camera and both the Fuji x 100

and the 850 I took them there and

well we went a little bit because I

was photographing a little bit because moments so

fun of the family and we were good

I was having a great time as a

dwarf, I can also enjoy something that I

have very little time left to say in

this week, not with all the voracity of

Patreon, weddings and workshops, there is a type

of photography that I love, which is landscape

photography and in Mexico I was able to

enjoy it, I don't know if because of

jet lag, but the question is that there

was some other day that I got up

because when it was about to dawn to

enjoy the landscape photography, which is something that

I continue to love and that since I

started with photography, it is something that I

have always liked because of losing myself, going

to a mountain, going to a beach, going

to the Montenegrin desert to enjoy photography as

such, it is something that I have always

liked and in Mexico, of course, I took

advantage of it, of course, as I have

told you, I had four workshops, the first

in Mexico City, in which if there is

a point in common in all the workshops

is that this time in Mexico, in the

four workshops, I could not get all the

material that I would have wanted to get,

I don't know if I was unlucky with

the locations, perhaps the thing is that the

pandemic limited a lot, not to be able

to go to one location or to be

able to go to another, but hey, I

had a first workshop in Mexico City, I

managed to bring together 18 people, then I

had another workshop in Cancun, in the same

place, or I did the workshop in the

same place that I did it last October,

in Cancun, I don't know what happened in

Cancun, bastards, that six or seven students had,

well, they couldn't come because of the COVID

issue, it was a piece of pain, but

hey, there we were with a session and

the session, the truth is that it cost

me more than normal, because I shot again

where I had already photographed or where I

had already given a couple of workshops last

October, with which to imagine that it means

going to the same place to photograph a

session in the same location, with which I

had to get oil from where there was

none, but hey, we enjoyed it.

I also gave another workshop in Puerto Vallarta,

and in Puerto Vallarta everything went very well,

I think it has been the place, or

one of the most beautiful places in which

I have given the workshop, I am talking

about my colleagues, Juan Carlos and Melissa, they

were the ones who attended me or sheltered

me to give the workshop in their house,

that is, they have an amazing house on

the shore of what is the ocean, that

is, amazing, the thing is that when we

were about to give the practice or to

do the practical session, we found out that

the couple could not come, the couple to

photograph the session, I said what the hell

is happening in this tour in Mexico, because

with all the couples something happened, with all

the locations something happened, and I had to

ask Melissa and Juan Carlos to pose for

me, they were not ...

well, I mean, Melissa wanted to, but Juan

Carlos I had to kneel literally so that

he would finally cheer up, right?

Well, we did a one-hour session and

everything, well, I think we took advantage of

it a bit, I managed to show a

little how I work both with hard lights

and with flash, although soon I understood that

Mexico is not one of those countries in

which I should go there to talk about

flash, because about flash I think there is

a school of great photographers, such as Cristian

Macías, such as Bárbara Torres, such as Jorge

Romero, and speaking of Jorge Romero, he is

a great colleague from Guadalajara, also Guadalajara, a

city ​​in which I gave a workshop, and

I also had problems with the couple and

with the location, well, problems in the sense

that the couple was half deceived and the

location was on a normal and ordinary street,

of course, I suppose that for the students

that can be good, because they realize the

effort that I have to make to get

something interesting out of a place without any

photographic interest, right?

But Jorge, I mean, Jorge Romero, whom I

have to thank from the bottom of my

heart, how he behaved with me, who, like

Melissa and Juan Carlos, came to the airport

for us, and in the case of Jorge

Romero, in this case, he was worried about

getting us a place to teach the workshop,

he took us to eat in several typical

Mexican places, he took care of us, I

mean, I only have good words for a

character like him, who, in addition to being

a great photographer, is a great human being,

and well, he said, I mean, when he

finished the practical session and when he finished

the workshop, well, as I started with my

tea, he told me, hey, man, I'm sorry,

I'm sorry, man, I took you to a

very ugly place to take pictures, the couple

was not the best, I say, hey, man,

I don't even think about that, I only

have gratitude for you, and well, and sometimes

the workshops in Europe are not in beautiful

places, I mean, the practical sessions are not

in beautiful places, with which I only have,

I don't know, I don't think about anything

bad, I just have to thank you for

how well you have been with me, with

which zero problems, right?

And finally, and with this it is already

to finish, well, as I was saying, I

mean, I had a session, I say a

session, I mean, I had a wedding, and

against all odds, right?

I mean, we were on a Thursday on

the beach, and well, I'll tell you in

the next chapters how all that came about,

but we were there so calm, and well,

we found out that we had to photograph,

well, on Saturday, well, a wedding, we didn't

even have, I only had an A8 150

with a 35 and a 45, it's true,

because I took it, and nothing else, right?

And suddenly, well, we found out that we

had to photograph for a wedding, so I

had to pull contacts, help, I had to

pick up a camera in one place, I

had to pick up batteries in another, cards

from another, an absolute mess, to end up

photographing a wedding in Tulum, which has a

lot of gossip, a lot of friends, but

I'm going to save all that friend to

create a chapter just for that wedding, and

tell you with all the luxury of details

all the problems I had, which were a

few, and all the no problems, so to

speak, or how I got to enjoy a

wedding because of those characteristics, right?

So nothing else friends, this was the video

that I wanted to share with you today,

this is an introduction video, a video of

anecdotes.
