New day,new year,new people.

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Ansel Adams


I must say that i had a great end of 2010,visiting my most valuable treasure "my family",which the only bad thing about it , It's that sometimes I'm having to much fun that i forgot my good friend,,my camera.
And before my trip
In a cold morning in Chicago airport we received a very sad phone call,the one now one wants before a Christmas trip;my dear mother in law lost her battle with the awful Alzheimer disease,we were lost and helpless at this point but my first tough was to change my plan,plane tickets but my lovely family wanted us to have a Christmas and we did.
And in the middle of our sadness and a really bad cold we sat at the gate waiting for our 9am flight ,and across us a pretty cool lady with a great personality told us "i hope you guys are not sitting next to me in this flight", and i agreed ,i didn't want her to feel as bad as we were at that point, but after this ,we were talking about south America,Mexico,her trip,aerlines and there!,,she is a photographer a wonderful photographer that i hope i will have the chance to see again,and what she didn't know at that point is that we were deeply sad;and she save me,thank you Carolyn!
And I confirm with this that life has a wonderful plan for all of us if we just let it happen. I don't meet a lot of people i must say ,but i have to say that talking about photography in a dark moment gave me LIGHT!

And after my trip
And in a very rather unhappy circumstances also I met another wonderful person somebody that today i have the honor to call uncle Dave an Aerospace Engineering (and more),with a great eye for photography,and in the middle of this sad times once again the lovely talk about cameras and photography made this difficult time a little less painful.

So today I'm grateful for the good people that life gives me everyday to make sad times less difficult ,for my passion that takes my mind out of the darkest.

Any day could be a great day,a good or as simple as a day,,,
all depends:the weather humm,,not always;the company ,,maybe,,the place,,probably,or as simple the determination ,the desire to just have a great day,,I WANTED TO have a good one, well guess what i had a wonderful day...i didn't know if i should  take my camera because my 6 years old loves to run around,and is not easy to communicate with my photographs when they are asking me for ice cream or change to feed the giraffes,but I'm glad i did it,,after seeing people around me,,(to many for me,)with their cameras,i though how on earth can I go somewhere with out it?,,so here are some simple pics,,i like them ,do you?
