An Exclusive Interview with Oscar Garcia

I feel terrific, it seems like it is worth it to capture a "Kodak moment" and that someone in the world appreciate the work done.

The "Quebrada in Acapulco" is a worldwide known area, as it has been a theme of films, and also postcards. When the sun is shining and the sky is blue, the contrast of colors is amazing. Having a camera and capture the scenery it is a great feeling. Remembering seeing the picture is to live again that moment.

Brave Cliff Divers Area, by Oscar Garcia

I started my journey of photography at least 30 years ago. Having people vote for my pictures it makes me happy to be connected through photography, we unite the world this pacific way.

It sure the place I grew up in made an impact in my life. Sometimes I would like to travel in space and go back to get those memories still lingering in my mind, such as the "The hill of the Four" in Guadalajara, way before it got crowded with houses. The old cars, and double deck buses that travel from many different cities within Mexico, etc. The heritage and the culture in pictures is like a treasure.

I love to photograph landscapes, skylines, the sea, the clouds, views from an airplane, the airplane itself, etc. Sometimes a flower, minerals, etc etc. Life is full of color. My specialty for some reason is not people, I would like to master that genre as well.

I believe that Mother Nature is our best giver for a photographer. Even at night to watch a crescent moon. With the right settings, and a 300 mm or more you can get the magnificence of our satellite.

My only experience exhibiting my work is through my blog http://www.oscarelmexicanopics.blogspot.com I sometimes talk about it in twitter (@ogshelly) it or in Facebook. I'd love to share with any of the great photographers of Light & Composition to do a joined excibition in an Art Gallery or something like that. I am open!

Light & Composition is my first involvement with a photography organization, and I am very happy that my work has been widely praised and accepted. Thanks!

I think that all of us have an eye for photography. Make sure your pictures make sense, and there is alignment, unless the picture is purposely skewed. Other than that, have fun and take lots of pictures, nowadays in the digital era is almost hassle free.
