Workshop Objetivo: Arquitectura
In this workshop by Ricardo Santonja and crew, we were asked to set a route in Barcelona city to take pictures of architecture, or what we understand as architecture. Each person was meant to have certain ideas of what they wanted to exposed or question, in my case, to the public.
At first I didn't know what I wanted to present, so I wrote something about the continuities and discontinuities in the city, but even I wasn't sure about its meaning. So I was placed in a group that had lots of ideas but couldn't put it into words, then we all set a route. Everyone began their route in the Forum builing:

In the conference, a day before, Ricardo told us of all the realities that exist around us and how we could capture their moments in camera. Most of the people had reflex cameras while I only had my Lumix, but I wasn't at all worried because I control my camera almost perfectly while with a reflex one I don't think I could have achieved these captures.
While I was taking photos I noticed those moments of alter realities that Ricardo spoke of. So it's curious, because until now I've always been talking about the "efects" of the architecture: the reflections, the shadows, the light and its "mesures", they are also, realities of the projects because they EXIST they are always around us, we only have to learn how to look for them.

We were asked also to take some pictures in a more academic way, with the techniques that they spoke of. With centered objectives, taking care of the light in the environment and such. My focus in this stage was to capture architecture from dramatic points of view.
