Hi, my name is Jesus Ramos

I started to like photography when I was 16 years old; I used to have an old little camera, beginning to take pictures of my family, friends, places that I've gone to, etc...

I took art classes, journalism, and AV Tech classes. I was fascinated to be a part of those classes; I was the only one to take perfect pictures and post them on the school website. When I started college, I took some photography courses and was part of the photography group; I enjoyed those classes, and was well thought out by the professors.

So I decided to go a little deeper, back to the beginning. I got serious about photography when I bought my first digital point-and-shoot (a Nikon 3100). Before that camera, I casually photographed friends and wildlife animals with my Sonny A1, but the digital world opened my eyes to what was possible with photography. I had this little camera in my pocket that I could take anywhere. I could take seemingly unlimited photos of anything I wanted compared to film. This meant lots of pictures of friends and family.

Why Do I Love Photography?

Well, there's some reason why I do this not as a job site but more as a hobby. I usually do both, but I enjoyed it most of my life.

• Because photography is the most seen in world history, you can create and collect them. Memories are always the last. It's always good to make memories because life is too short, and we don't know what the future holds. Friends, family, people you know, etc., change or move or gone forever, and the only memories are in a picture.
• I remember being fascinated by my photographs of nature. I enjoy going to the woods or hiking or camping; when I got my first camera, Nikon, I started to shoot wild birds because Birds are beautiful creatures that we can observe wherever we go. They are uninhibited at any time of the year and complain by singing. Some are trusting and allow us to get close to them to get a good picture; others not so much. We can observe them, listen to them, and enjoy the gift they possess; seeing them in flight is a beautiful thing. Thanks to this exciting activity, we can be in direct contact with nature, get to know new places, travel, and return home with images that will allow us to relive the sensations experienced in the countryside, forest, mountain, lagoon, etc.

Photography is my passion because I can create art itself, like a painting that I just can paint with a pencil, but it's already created by a digital camera and printed and hanging on the wall so people can look at what I create.
