About

Time is transient, it is fleeting. We experience it, use it, abuse it, even fear it, but my concern here are sequences of events as I witness them and manage to collect them through the lens. Though I will attempt to guide the attention and with it a state of mind and emotion, each of you will experience these slices and fractions of frozen moments as differently as your personality and individuality allows. It is not a philosophical exploration about time; no, it’s about my personal visual voyage towards a collection of short-lived simulacra of occurrences worth their weight in words the mind and heart can only perceive.

The obsession with capturing moments to visualize later or share with others doesn’t just say a lot about who we are as persons, but also describes something about the human condition that has enamored my thoughts and imagination. Through photographic imagery we create transcendence communicating moments and events to future generations and more. Not surprisingly, I discover humanity’s obsession with eternity, the need to keep the present going and to relive it. There is something else, more striking: a ceaseless exercise of awareness, a pursuit for truths and lessons in the details we encounter from day to day.

Though some of my work has been published in journals, magazines, and publicity –in Mexico, the United States, and Europe– I consider myself an amateur photographer.

You may write to me at ldejesusr@gmail.com. I’ve been asked about selling prints, but I don’t do so at this time; however, please contact me if you wish to use any of my work for print or publication.

I was born and raised in Westchester County, New York and currently live in Mexico City.

My camera gear includes an old –but hefty– Nikon D200, and  Canon G9 for backup –never leave home without it.

I really look forward to hearing from you. If you wish, please go ahead and follow me on Twitter or Facebook. Lastly, but never in the least, don’t forget to come back.

Have a good one!

Luis
