For being Friday there were very few people and walked a couple of laps around downtown before finding someone. I got to el teatro principal and saw Pamela reading. Because of so many walking i was tired and didn't have the best semblant. I sit to rest before talking with Pamela and hoping that she wouldn't leave. Lucky me she didn't left, she was still reading when i decided to approach. Pamela is on her first year as a cinematography student. You could tell she was a filmmaker because before letting me take her pictures, she told me she was used to being behind the camera and not in front of it. For the picture i would have photgraphed her where she was sitting, but there were 2 public phones in the background and they were annoying. I explained why i wanted another background, she understood and she had no problem. For a while i've been wanting to follow Pete's suggestion about that place, so i put her in front of a cristal wall and definitely this background was the best. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Para ser viernes había muy poca gente y di unas cuantas vueltas por el centro antes de encontrar a alguien. Llegué al teatro principal y vi a Pamela leyendo. Por tanto caminar estaba algo cansado y no tenía el mejor semblante. Me senté a descansar un poco antes de hablar con Pamela, esperando que no se fuera a ir. Para mi suerte no se fue, seguía leyendo cuando decidí acercarme a hablarle del proyecto. Pamela es estudiante de primer año de cine. Se notó un poco que era cineasta, ya que antes de dejarme fotografiarla, me dijo que está acostumbrada a estar detras de la cámara y no frente a ella. Para la foto, la hubiera retratado donde estaba sentada, pero había 2 telefonos públicos en el fondo que eran bastante molestos. Le expliqué porque me gustaría otro fondo, me comprendió y no tuvo problema. Desde hacía tiempo que quería seguir la sugerencia de Pete con respecto a ese lugar, así que la puse frente a un muro de cristales y definitvamente este fondo fue mejor.
