February 1st, 2019
Eight years blogging with some pauses, but still sharing places, and stories.
This time I have some photo updates from previous trips I have still to share.
This year I am looking to have great posts!
Thanks for being around.
January 11th, 2015
Another year blogging. Count to four they said.
Hopefully I will keep posting. Now, I don’t know if I will include my photograph on each anniversary. I guess I will not, that is when one really sees time passing by.
All these years it has been great keeping smart and entertaining conversations through the comments box. Let’s dare to enjoy! Leave comments or just ask, you are invited and welcome. Thank you for your visits, I am grateful.
This year has to be a great year, just keep in mind:
“If you want to go fast, go alone
If you want to go far, go together”
-African proverb

Update: Nov 4th, 2013
On January 2014 it will be 3 years since I started blogging. What a ride!.
Many things have happened since, maybe too many.
There has been a constant: Change.
Situations that seemed tests where actually, that, tests.
The good thing is that life always gives you what is needed to go through them.
I have come to learn that success is not something you go after. It is something that comes to you when you love what you do.
So no matter how tough things look, hang on and enjoy the ride. At the end there is always a positive lesson.
As the saying goes:
“Most of the time the only difference between winning and losing is not quitting.”
Thank you for being there, no matter how far or how near. You are a piece of my solved puzzle.
Update to my bio: Oct 11th 2012
I year has passed since I started blogging. I never thought I would go this far with posts and stories.
I have to say that I have put all my enthusiasm in it without knowing what would be the outcome and to be very honest, you, my visitor, frequent, random and follower are the one that keep me going.
I really desire that my photographs to come, the stories of my errands and my fortunes and mishaps bring something new and positive to your daily living.
Thank you for being there where you are, as we all are a whole in the world that helps keep balance.
“…..In life, if you don’t risk anything, you risk everything.”
Update to my bio: Sept 25th, 2011
I will just go “random”. I think that when I describe myself there is a risk to define me and then to be tagged and limited. We all have so many possibilities to be all what we want to be…
I am an engineer, the kind that has to do with computers, systems and the like and work as a business consultant… I like to write though most of my writing is in Spanish. English is not my native language, so please forgive my grammar and regular mistakes…
Playing guitar and writing songs is something I enjoy a lot. About a year ago, I got hooked taking pictures with a friend’s camera. I take photos by instinct, I can’t say if they are good or not and that is not the purpose. The purpose is to have a good time during the process.
The name of my blog is a nickname friends gave me. “Implicado” stands for involved. Involved with life and all that has to do with it.
I welcome you and hope you enjoy the times you stop by.
Bienvenido!

Hello, Cedric. I stopped by to thank you for taking the time to look at my photo of the week and click “like.” But when I got here, of course, I had to look at all your great photos and read your bio. You are so good with the camera. I take a lot of pictures myself — for two reasons: 1. I am a newspaper reporter, and I have to take photos to go with my stories. 2. I own a publishing company, and I often take photos to use for book covers and greeting cards, both of which we create. I enjoyed looking at so many of your pictures. My two favorites are the one you titled “Old on New” and the one of the downtown area of Buenos Aires with the skyscrapers shot at an angle. Very effective!

Thank You Sandra! I am flattered!. To be honest, when I have a good shot I just think I am lucky. Don’t know much about photography really so I can’t have an opinion other than I like taking pictures.

I have been nominated the Very Inspiring Blogger Award.
WOW, that came out of the blue.
Is great to know that my doodles inspire others. I hope I won’t disappoint you.
The Award comes with these rules:
1. Thank the person who nominated you
Thank you Annette for the nomination you were the first blog I started following.
2. Share 7 things about yourself
-I am addicted to coffee
-My favorite cars were made in the 1970’s
-I am an actor and director, studied photography, video production, graphic design and a little bit of anthropology.
-I have had 5 pretty serious motorcycle accidents and came out walking and without a scratch.
-I am from Costa Rica
-When I hear a song I like, I listen to it when I need inspiration.
-Orange is my favorite color.
3. Pass the award to 7 nominees
So, “tagged” you are it.
Since I am new at this, you have probably been nominated before, in that event, double the blessing.
