This is one of the first pictures I took in the studio, with our rocker girl from Bilbao, Leyre. She has a lot of talent and great ideas, each new photo is better than the previous one!

Too much time since the last post. Some months ago I was contacted by the editors of the Exposition Magazine (a publication at the University of Oxford) asking me if they could use this photo for an article about the United Nation they were developing. Of couse I said "yes", I found very interesting and surprising at the same time the fact of seeing my picture in some kind of publication, especially when it was one of the first images I took with my SLR camera, three years ago in NYC. A really nice thing that I wanted to share with all of you :)

I started playing tennis because my best friend was in a tennis school and I needed to do some exercise. It soon became an obsession for me. I spent a lot of years of my life playing tennis, watching tennis, living tennis! It was like a therapy, I spent severals hours a day with the racket, just some shots is all I needed. Pure adrenaline. I dreamed about being a professional player, like Agassi, Conchita or Steffi, the ones who I admired. But then University came into my life and it all ended. Now I miss tennis a lot, it's been such a long time since I played my last game!

Well, this is another joke, as you can see :P I've been a big fan of Pixar for a long time, I have a huge collection of special edition dvds, toys, books, music… Their movies are masterpieces, it's really difficult to find such and amazing quality of work in the industry. So once I told someone (after seeing some images of the offices at Emeryville, I'm sure you all have seen them too) that I would love to work in Pixar, even if I had to wash the floor, the dishes or clean the toilets. That's being a big fan!! I remembered that words and created this character… Me being part of the cleaning team of Pixar along with Wall·E as my workmate.

Being completely untalented in music is something that really frustrates me a lot. I love music more than any other thing, I really do, but there's no way I could play music for a living. Guitar, piano, drums… I wish I could play an instrument or just sing a single key. I've tried, and it's not for me. I can't even play a stupid Guitar Hero song well!

I know this is a dream that will never happen, so I just enjoy listening to music, discovering new and talented bands, going to as many concerts as I can… Music is the most wonderful thing, it's amazing how a song could change everything, isn't it? I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
