Post 2- My favourite piece of technology

My favourite piece of technology is the camera. A camera is a device that consist of a lightproof chamber with an aperture fitted with a lens and a shutter through wich the image is projected onto a surface for recording. This surface can be a photosensitive film, in the case of analog cameras or an electronic sensor in digital cameras. I have many cameras, analog and digital. I use digital cameras most of the time, but I love analog cameras, althoug the films are more expensive and developing process is slow. 

I bought my favourite digital camera whit my savings and my favourite analog camera was a christmas present from my uncle. I usually use both cameras to take pictures, but I can record videos only with digital camera, so I use it more often. The analog camera is for special occasions.

I like cameras because is awesome how an object is able to capture images and creating the ilussion of movement with only 24 frames per second. 

I don't think objects are indispensable in life, but I can imagine a life without cameras, because take a picture or record videos is more than a hobby; with images we can comunicate ideas, make the viewer feel something or portray realities and report injustices as in case of documental film and the protest photograph.

One day, I went with my mom to the Normandie art cinema and we saw an argentinian movie called “Hombre Mirando al Sudeste” by Eliseo Subiela. I remember I was impressed with the scene of the orchestra playing Ode to Joy and I thought “I would like to do something like that one day”. Two months after I discovered my favorite movie, another argentinian movie called “El Secreto de sus Ojos” by Juan José Campanella, at that moment I decided that telling stories was what I really wanted to do. I think there are many stories to tell, injustices to report and realities to portray, that ...
