La camara de Luis

Luis Puente es mi abuelo, esta Yashica Electro 35 fue su ultima cámara que la llevó a todo lado. Le encantaba la fotografía y todo lo relacionado con tecnología. Tuvo mucha influencia positiva en mi vida. Le hubiese encantado flickr, bueno y toda la tecnologia que existe ahora. Luis murió en el año 1991, así que no vio todo esto nuevo, o bueno puede ser que lo este viendo. Esta es una foto dedicada a ud Luchito. Una foto de su cámara con la que siempre anduvo. Siempre lo recordare mucho abuelo, ahora sus fotos son un tesoro para mi

Luis Puente was my grandfather, this Yashica was his last camera that he took everywhere. He loved photography and anything related to technology. He had lots of positive influence in my life. He would had loved flickr. Luis died in 1991, so he did not see all these new things, or who knows maybe he is looking. This photo is dedicated to you Luchito. A photo of your camera that you always had with you. I will always remember you grandpa. Now your photos are a treasure to me.

Here are some of his photos

jon madison says:

wow.

this absolutely is, so far, my favorite shallow DOF shot (and i've seen plenty! probably has to do also with my love of cameras).

touching tribute as well.

Nice imaging.
I have Yashica,too.- Electro35.
Do you use this camera?
I sometimes use it. It is a good camera of soft image.

If you can handle f1.2 this well, I suppose there's little you can't realize with a camera. Nice job.

I just want to know how to separate out:

1. your incredible skill as a photographer
2. your EOS-1Ds Mark II
3. your Canon 85mm f/1.2 lens

If I put that lens on my 20D (my wife would kill me) I'd still be lacking the Mark II and your brain.

If I bought a Mark II and that lens (my wife would kill me many times over) I'd still be lacking your brain.

Dang man, you are making the photographs of my dreams; you are going exactly where I want to go although may never get. Yes, the journey is fun too but dang... your photographs make me ache with joy (and jealousy).

All of this is meant as a huge compliment on your wonderful eye and skill. Yes, you have great equipment but same equipment in lesser hands (mine, for instance) would not have produced this picture.

jon madison says:

richard, you echo my thoughts exactly (well except the stuff about the camera--i don't own any canon anything:). as i browsed through this stream, i kept alternating between "oh WOW i can't wait to get out and shoot again to get more practice" and "wow, i really ought to hang it up; he's doing things just as i would like to already! i may as well just enjoy his pix, as i'll never be this good!"

must
continue
shooting

*and* enjoy these great, warm photos.
Posted 50 months ago. ( permalink )

Richard- says:

isaidjon: our thoughts are echo/bouncing back and forth... kind of nice.

I think we can do both: continue shooting, even try to learn from and emulate some of Carlos's great work and also watch what he comes up with next and sit back in awe.

The flickr community can feel vortexy at times: comment jealousy, wanting recognition, etc. and then Carlos comes along and humbly drops some great work on us and does it in such an understated, adult way.

I also like your use of the term "warm" which is exactly it: warm colors and warmth of human spirit. Well said isaidjon.

A wonderful photo with a beautiful message! Love is such a wonderful thing, more so when it's from our family.

Carlos, I'm so happy to come across your path today. Your photos have so much passion, it's hard to describe at times... but looking at them brings joy to my heart and that, is the highest skill a photographer would have. Thank you for sharing your wonderful work!

excauboi says:

maravillosa, la yashica electro 35 de tu abuelo, si es la gsn, como la mía, es una verdadera maravilla, "leica for the little men" la llaman. Con un objetivo 1.4 es lo más parecido que se puede lograr con una cámara de 30 € en ebay a lo que consigue tu maravilloso objetivo (que envidio terriblemente).

Lovely photo and moving story. Remembering the special people in our lives keeps us inspired to be one for others. My grandmother was mine (she is the one who called me Mella Doll, hence my flickr name) She passed down the love of cooking to me, thank you Grandma! and thank you Carlosluis for reminding us all to give thanks to those special people in our lives.

Increíble dedicatoria. Muy emotiva. Me hubiera encantado que mi abuelo se dedicara a la fotografía para heredar algo de él. Sin embargo, no heredé de fotografía pero sí de otras cosas. Ahora sería el hombre más feliz del mundo si algún día mis nietos escribieran algo como esto.

Un abrazo,
diego.

yoders.6 says:

I agree. That IS an excellent camera. I have two of them. One is an Electro 35 GSN, which I bought from Goodwill, and the other one is a GS, which my grandmother gave me. Ironically, my grandfather used that GS up until his passing in 1994. It just hung there on the coat tree for 13 years, without a battery, while my grandmother used her inexpensive Konica camera.

I should really get that roll of film that was in the camera developed...
