Debido al coronavirus, tenemos que cuidarnos y quedarnos en casa, pero este tiempo extra puede ser una oportunidad para hacer cosas que no hemos estado haciendo por falta de tiempo. Te traemos algunas ideas:

PASA TIEMPO CON TU FAMILIA

Pasar tiempo con las personas que te rodean es muy importante en momentos como este. No nos aislemos y en su lugar hablemos, juguemos, hagamos actividades… con quienes vivimos. Es muy importante.

HAZ EJERCICIO EN CASA

Aunque estamos acostumbrados a hacer ejercicio en el gimnasio o al aire libre, es importante mantenerse activo. Podemos bailar, hacer ejercicios, andar en bicicleta… en casa también. ¡Hay muchas maneras!

COCINA PARA TODOS

Ahora tienes más tiempo para dedicarte a cocinar. Puedes aprender nuevas recetas, cocinar con los niños y asegurarte de que tú y los que te rodean estén disfrutando de la mejor comida.

LEE

Coge esos libros que tienes en el estante y comienza a leer. Te ayudará a alejarte de la monotonía y viajar a otros lugares sin salir de casa.

MIRA PELÍCULAS Y SERIES

Hazte con una manta y mira esas películas y series que querías ver desde hace mucho tiempo pero fuiste dejando porque no tenías tiempo.

APRENDE COSAS NUEVAS

Toca la guitarra, pinta, aprende idiomas… probablemente hay muchas cosas que siempre quisiste aprender, pero nunca pudiste dedicar suficiente tiempo y esfuerzo. ¡Ahora es el momento perfecto para comenzar!

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

— Rabindranath Tagore

Breathe the world.

I’ve got a Fujifilm X100s. It runs about $1300. It’s easily the best camera I’ve ever owned. I take care of it as best as I can, but I don’t let taking care of it impact the photography. Let me elaborate on that a bit better. You’ll get better at each section of what we talked about slowly. And while you do, you’ll be amazed at how much easier it all is and how the habit forms. The best way to get better at photography is start by taking your camera everywhere. If you leave your house, your camera leaves with you. The only exception is if you’re planning for a weekend bender — then probably leave it at home. Other than that, always have it slung over your shoulder. It would probably help to get an extra battery to carry in your pocket. I’ve got three batteries. One in my camera, one in my pocket, one in the charger. When it dies, swap them all.

For me, the most important part of improving at photography has been sharing it. Sign up for an Exposure account, or post regularly to Tumblr, or both. Tell people you’re trying to get better at photography. Talk about it. When you talk about it, other people get excited about it. They’ll come on photo walks with you. They’ll pose for portraits. They’ll buy your prints, zines, whatever.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.
