Hector Padilla's rants on life

Picture taking

I shouldn’t have, but I decided to open my flickr account the other day and all those feelings came back. The feeling of walking around with no set goal in mind, looking for a nice angle, “collecting graffiti”, and walking for hours non stop. Having a little camera in my jeans was a good excuse to make those aimless walks purposeful, and after all I did have a couple of good shots. Now?… Well, now I realize I’m always “that guy” without a camera. My life is somewhat documented through pictures of other people and I get to see them if they happen to tag me in a social network. But they are all spread all over the place. Even when I travel, I never have a camera… That’s gotta stop!.

I won’t get into DSLR (at least not yet), but I want to have a little point-n-shoot in my morral (man purse?) and allow me to experience the world like that now and then, to document it. My flickr account had expired for a couple of years. O.o That’s how careless I was with it. Heh… Anyway… Lets see if I can get back into that. :-)
