Many photographs have been taken from me since I can remember: some summer camps, the typical nude baby photograph that our mothers ALWAYS have in an ancient album, with friends, birthdays celebrations, and others.
But this photograph is one of the specials for me, because it have an important meaning for me. I was in a scientific camp in Patagonia (specifically in Karukinka natural park) at the beginning of my "adventure" to discover what was my "purpose" for the future. I was passing by a very difficult moment in different meanings, so that camp helped me to relax and enjoy the nature itself in other ways.
It was taken by one of the teachers who led this camp in collaboration with some scientifics from a wide diversity of areas, and with whose I became a good friend. We, and other fourty four persons more, were standing at the top of the tallest hill of the sector (which name, sadly, I can't remember) then I wondered: So that's how it feels to achieve the highest goal when I decide to reach it. Then I thought that it should be good to save that moment in a photography, looking down to the hard way that I had to travel before my reward. And which place is better for a photography than Patagonia? So that is, I guess, the meaning of this photography for me now that I look it after three years: Work hard to get the biggest rewards.
What a amazing feeling! It's amazing how a picture can remember all that.
