ONE MORE WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY STORY 05 // UNA HISTORIA MÁS DE FOTOGRAFÍA DE NATURALEZA 05

…………..And there are many times, often a lot, when things get ugly, in which you wonder; “but…….what need do I have to ………?.”

Well, all of this is more or less easily conducted. Are you a “wildlife photographer”?…….right then. The worst, what really affect you, discourage you……. hurts you, comes later, when you returned home, exhausted,………..knackered”. Sooner or later people ask you about it, and of course then, you answer, telling you have just returned from this place or another. And that’s when the foolish appears irretrievably, flattering you with his stupid questions and comments: “how were your holidays?”, “fucxx……how well you live!, you live like a marquis!”, ” of course, since you don’t work! “, “I bet you had a great time!”, “I am here, working like a dog while you’re enjoying a boat ride!”, “you’re so lucky, don’t lift a finger!”, “you do not work …. you dedicate yourself to your hobby!!”, “I’m sure you’ve been in a five-star hotel, isn’t it?,…”, “sure, with that camera!, how easy!, if I had a camera like this …… you’d see “. Or the mediocre who is unable to hold on and makes the easy vulgar joke: “have you spend all the time of the travel in the jacuzzi’s boat?, je, je”, ” there were a lot of pretty girls in the jungle?, ji, ji”, “, you’ve pigged out of daiquiris for sure!!!, jo, jo”, “have you taken any picture?, not all is fun!!!!!, ju, ju”. Not to mention those who have not even bothered to look at your work and give you away with their utter disregard and indifference and that if anyone says something is some pearl such as: “he does not work, he does not do anything, he Is a vague, he is only dedicated to taking pictures of bugs”. If this is what they say … I do not even want to imagine what they think. Curiously they are the same people who later, boast excited about all their skills and the hard and important work they do, that’s when you get round-eyed smiley face. The truth is I do not quite understand why but you get demoralized, discouraged ……

“How were your holidays?”,…… SORRY?……my holidays???.

Well, look,…..is that ……..I have NOT been on holidays………..

————————————————————————————

…….Existen muchas ocasiones, muchas, cuando las cosas se ponen feas, en las que te preguntas; “pero………… ¿qué necesidad tengo yo……..?”.

Bueno, al final todo eso se sobrelleva más o menos bien, ¿No eres “fotógrafo de naturaleza”?……..pues eso. Lo peor, lo que realmente te afecta, desanima,….duele, viene más tarde. Cuando has regresado a casa, maltrecho y agotado. Antes o después la gente pregunta, y claro, pues tú contestas, comentas que has vuelto de éste u otro sitio. Y es entonces cuando aparece irremediablemente el neci@ de turno que te obsequia con sus preguntas y comentarios estúpidos: “¿qué tal tus vacaciones?”, “¡jodxx…. qué bien vives, vives como un marqués!”, “¡claro, como no trabajas!”, “¡seguro que te lo has pasado fenomenal!”, “¡yo aquí trabajando como un cabrxx… y tu mientras paseando en barco!”, “¡qué suerte tienes!, ¡es que no das ni golpe!”, “¡tú no trabajas ….lo tuyo es un hobby!!”, “has estado en hotel de cinco estrellas, ¿supongo…?”, “¡claro , con esa cámara ya podrás, qué fácil, si yo tuviera una como esa……verías!”. O el/la mediocre que es incapaz de aguantarse el chiste fácil de graciosill@ vulgar: “¿te habrás pasado todo el viaje en el jacuzzi del barco?, je, je”, “¿habría chicas guapas en la selva? ji, ji”, “¿te habrás puesto morado de daiquiris?, jo, jo”, “¿habrás hecho alguna foto?, ¡no todo es diversión!!!!, ju, ju”. Por no hablar de aquellos que ni siquiera se han tomado la molestia de mirar tu trabajo y te regalan con su más absoluto desprecio e indiferencia y que, si a alguno se le ocurre algo es alguna perla como: “no trabaja, no hace nada, es un vago, solo se dedica a hacer fotos de bichos”. Si esto es lo que dicen….no quiero ni imaginarme lo que piensan. Curiosamente son estos mismos los que más tarde se jactan entusiasmados de todas sus habilidades y del trabajo duro e importante que realizan, es entonces cuando se te queda cara de emoticono de ojos redondos. La verdad es que no entiendo muy bien porqué ocurre esto pero lo cierto es que acabas desanimado, desalentado, desmoralizado……

“¿Qué tal tus vacaciones?”……….¿PERDONA?……¿mis vacaciones???…………

Pues mirad, …….es que……NO he estado de vacaciones…………
