Photography

I am not a specialist in photography but I can to point out that sometimes I feel an attraction to ‘the art’ of take photos. Depending on the case I enjoy to seeing photos too, but it’s very difficult to me to say: “that is my favorite picture” or “I really love the work of this photographer”.
In my room I have a collage that I made in a long afternoon of looking trough in familiar photo albums. In that albums I found very olds images that are surprising to me in which I appears in my grandmother one’s arms when I was a baby, for example.
Moreover, I really like pictures taken in soccer matches and rock concerts. Photos that include rock stars in normal situations like playing guitar at home, or recording a song in studio are interest to me. Besides those kinds of photos, in the sports case I like pictures that depict some cultural expressions like soccer ‘barra bravas’ in Latin America, in which it shows supporter’s manifestations in his neighborhoods, and also his flags or canticles.  
In connection with the above, a photo that I have recorded on mind is that was taken while the planes smashing the World Trade Center in New York on September 11th of 2001. The photography capacity to catch a historical moment trough the capture of and objective in the photo that depicts what these moments was lived by the persons who’s lived the “terroristic attack” as it was called.
That kind of photos are taken by common people as well as professionals but the talent is the same, essentially in order to a faithful representation of a historical moment.
