Image Description: In my last visits to downtown i have seen a lot of paramedics and i felt i had to photograph one for the project. I was near el teatro principal when i saw Alfonso walking towards me, his uniform caught my atention, i was hoping him to be a paramedic, if not, still is interesting to meet people who dedicates some of his time to help a good cause.
Alfonso was using headphones, he didn't listen to me at first and with the risk of being annoying, i waved my hands to get his atention, i did it and he didn't got upset because of that. Alfonso was very serious, he asked what was the purpose of the photos because with his uniform he is representing an institution, i explained more the project and he had no problem.
Alfonso has been a paramedic for 2 years, to become one it took him one year of preparation. Before being a paramedic, he worked as a sales representative for a pharmaceutical company untill it closed. Stupidly i forgot to ask why did he turn into a paramedic. Seriously i would have been a lousy journalist.

En mis últimas visitas al centro había visto muchos paramedicos y sentí que tenía que fotografiar a uno para el proyecto. Estaba cerca del teatro principal cuando vi a Alfonso caminando hacia mi, me llamó la atención su uniforme, esperaba que fuera paramedico, si no, de todas maneras es intersante conocer a gente que dedica algo de su tiempo para ayudar a una buena causa.
Alfonso estaba usando audifonos, no me escuchó al principio y con el riesgo de parecer odioso, moví mis manos para llamar su atención, lo logré y de paso no se molestó. Alfonso fue muy serio, me pregunto para qué eran lsas fotos ya que con su uniforme estaba representando a una institución, le expliqué y no tuvo problema.
Alfonso es paramedico desde hace 2 años, para llegar a serlo le tomó un año de preparación. Antes de eso, trabajaba como un representante de ventas para una compañia farmaceutica hasta que cerró. Estupidamente se me olvidó preguntarle porque decidió ser paramedico. Enserio que hubiera sido un pesimo periodista.
