NEW YEAR - NEW PROJECTS

It has been long time since last post, but life sometimes put things that don't allow you to manage several things at same time.
2012 has started and I'm working on posting the last pictures I've shot last days of 2011.
For this new year that has just started off, I have just few projects, cause a huge personal one is coming on next months and it deserves all my time, attention and care, and this means that maybe from may or june I won't be shooting many photos at shows, but at least some people photo shooting that you can follow on my flickr or facebook account:

RIGHT DIRECTION

SUPERTOUCH

THE CITY


Some friends of mine and me did an express trip to Antwerpen for the exclusive show of SHEER TERROR in Europe. We spent a good time and the show was so cool, but due a technic trouble with my camera (damnit batteries!) when SHEER TERROR started to play I couldn't take pictures of 'em, so I had to spend the whole show singingalong ;)

and as always don't forget to visit to check all the photos:

xmdmxhcx = michelles olaya ortega' photography on fACEBOOK.

Well. The social network has caught me always so a good way to promote myself is having a facebook site.
One of my willings is get more involved into photography and become a freelance photographer (well, i think at moment more or less i am) it's not easy, but most of us know that with PERSEVERANCE everything can be reached.

Here you are, if you are on facebook, so add me!

SUMMER HAS LEFT TOO SOON

The summer is done. These summer days have been so wonderful to me, i've had a great time with my love ones (family and friends). So now it's time to bring back jackets, hoodies, umbrellas and so. Now it's time to look for a job, i hope get one as soon as possible, it's ok no to work, cause no work = no money = no fun.

So the summer holidays in Germany were a blast! I just could be at couple shows in Hamburg but just I shot few photos. But all days were so nice over there , all the views in Bayern, exactly on Oberpfalz area, and later in Hamburg, were amazing. Great time with great people and great moments.

I met with my partner in crime of photography, Burhkard Muller, the mentor of FACETHESHOW.COM He's living in Hamburg so it was a good chance to meet him after this time being partners on the website and just keepin contact thru internet.
We met and ran to this show in the area of Altona, nice neighbourhood. It was a pity that cause my fault we arrived late at the show and just to check out the three last songs.ABRUPT (hc crust from california)
































Sept 4th was the Schanzenfest, an alternative street festival located on the area of Sternschanzen. It was so nice walking down the streets and see the spots where people were selling things, the antifascist movement was very present all the time. I was at Rote Flora, a special place, and that i like so much. There were bands playing on the street but I just could shoot pics of a skinhead band called JESUS SKINS, they called 'em as "christian oi! band", the vocalist was holding a bible in hand and so, it was "amazing"... but seems like they are just kidding about being christians.
