Hirosi Kogai
I don´t know how should I start.
I would like this post to be like any other post, with my little things, my reflections or my photos. But it is not, I decided to give a bit of my site to somebody else. I will explain...
Not too long ago a new social network or social web 2.0 was born. Gradually it has become bigger and bigger and it´s already threatening the big Facebook, is not other than Google plus.
There I met a traveller photograph, which is the reason for this post. Hirosi KOGAI.
I felt envy, fury, anxiety, I felt about everything while watching his photos, beautiful images from Nepal, India, Tibet, Kazhajastan, Uzbekistan, Japan, Mongolia and much more. I felt love
for the landscape, for its people, for its weather. I felt horror when I saw how many families survive with very few or even nothing at all. I felt a burning desire to travel and never come back. A burning desire to follow this journey that asks me to discover something I don´t already have.
I don´t know how should I start.
Chosing one of his superb pictures is impossible for me, an impossible task to choose between thousands of snapshots, what to choose?, a landscape? a fantastic picture of a stone back light? some kids playing? wild horses grazing in the tundra? an image of the big city in a rainy day? it´s difficult, very difficult.
But, just one thing, the pictures you can see here help me to keep on going with my lens and my framing, my lights and my colours. But what I want to make clear is that to be a good photographer you should do what you like, be in the place you want to be, having, of course, a good camera, and then let the images talk for themselves. Bravo Hirosi for your work!

No sé por donde empezar.
Me gustaría que esto fuera un post como cualquier otro, con mis chorradas, mis reflexiones o mis fotos. Pero nada de eso, he decidido ceder mi espacio a otro. Me explico....
Hace relativamente poco tiempo nació en internet una nueva red social o web 2.0 que poco a poco se ha ido haciendo grande y ya amenaza al gigante Facebook, no es otra que Google plus.
Allí conocí a un gran fotógrafo viajero, el cual es motivo de mi post. Hirosi KOGAI.
He sentido envidia, furor, ansia, de todo viendo sus fotos, bellas imágenes de Nepal, India, Tibet, Kazhajastan, Uzbekistan, Japón, Mongolia, y un largo etcétera. He sentido amor por el paisaje, por sus gentes, por su clima. He sentido horror al ver como subsisten muchas familias con muy poco o nada. He sentido grandes deseos de viajar y no volver nunca, de seguir ese viaje que me pide descubrir algo que no tenga ya.
No se por donde empezar.
Seleccionar una sola de sus magníficas obras me resulta imposible, tarea arduo dificil entre miles de instantáneas, ¿qué elegir? ¿un paisaje? ¿una fantástica imagen de piedra al contraluz? ¿unos niños jugando? ¿unos caballos salvajes pastando en la tundra? ¿una imagen de gran ciudad con lluvia? difícil, muy difícil.
Ahora, solo una cosa, estas fotos que hoy podéis ver aquí a mi me animan a seguir luchando con mis objetivos y mis encuadres, con mis luces y mis colores, pero lo que quiero dejar muy claro es que para ser un buen fotógrafo tienes que hacer lo que te gusta, estar en el sitio que quieres, tener por supuesto una buena cámara, y todo lo demás dejar a las imágenes que hablen por si solas. ¡Bravo Hirosi por tu trabajo!
