Juan
Carlos can turn back time or preserve it.

Juan Carlos
is my friend. He is a very close friend. In terms of a long friendship, we have
only known each other since 2009. That would be 5 years. In terms of the time
we have spent together, we have years between us. Years of struggles and triumphs. Years of dashed dreams and disappointments.
But those
were also years of support and faith in each other. They have been years of
encouragement from both sides. And especially they have been years when each
came to the aid of the other without hesitation. In those terms, our friendship
has been a lifetime.
Juan is a
dreamer. I am a dreamer. He is a visionary. So am I. Juan is a photographer
‘for life’!
But he is
more than a photographer as most of us think of such professionals. A good
photographer knows their equipment. They know light and height and distance and
angles. They can crop and make adjustments on the front end and on the back
end. They may even photo shop or digitally enhance with varying levels of
skills. But they don’t all have a driving echo to devote any more time than
simple due diligence requires.
