Life is a picture to be taken

I thought about this slogan as I was driving home and kept finding subjects to shoot pictures of. I just thought 'Man, they are just millions of pictures in front of our lives every single day. We just need to take them. They are just there ready to be taken'. And that line came to my mind. Now I use it as my 'slogan' for my LLC and Photography.

Cheers mates!!

I have not had the chance to check it out in detail yet, but I thought to spread the word so maybe you can have that chance before me.

It's supposed to be the best site of its kind by very far...

Welcome Photographers!!

Hi and welcome all,

My name is Ben Tolosa and I am an Actor, Filmmaker and Photographer from Hartford, VT. I became a filmmaker in order to create my own opportunities as an Actor and through the process of learning filmmaking and realizing how important is to understand your camera, I became a photographer. Well, a semi professional photographer? Judge by yourself at:

I began filmmaking with a Panasonic HMC-150 and when learning and reading online how 'filmic' is the footage of a Canon 7D, I've got one as soon as I could. As you might know, the 7D is a still photography camera on the first place that also happen to make amazing quality HD video (mainly due of all the lenses you can use it with). DSLR filmmaking is what I currently do, but I also felt in love with photography (as once did when I was a child).

That led me to learning and acquiring Adobe Photoshop Lightroom which led me to where I am today which is to become more proficient with Adobo Photoshop CS5.5.

I do have a blog about filmmaking, but since I realized I started to write more about photography, I said 'What the heck, let's just open another blog about photography. After all, it's free!!'

So, here I am.

Hope you enjoy my journey through this magical and super rewarding world of photography.
