My camera taught my eyes to look into small places.

Dailies · By year

A daily archive, kept chronologically

Most galleries are daily photographs, filed under the year they were made. Browse a year to walk through it in order, exactly as the days unfolded.

Alongside them sit Miscellaneous collections and a set of Updated Galleries that change as new work is added.

Special projects

Timelapse, cinemagraphs and mobile work

Timelapse captures frames at a rate far lower than the one used to view them, so that when played back at normal speed time appears to move faster and to be lapsing.

Cinemagraphs are still photographs in which a minor, repeated movement occurs. Usually published in animated GIF format, they give the illusion that the viewer is watching a video.

Further projects include Camila’s Photography and Mobile Photography, plus photos gathered for fun and for inspiration from Pinterest and 500px.

Experts say that when a person takes a photograph they become a storyteller. Perhaps many fans like me are not aware of it, but every time the shutter is pressed something moves us and we want to share. So photography was taken seriously enough to use this space to unleash creativity and illustrate day-to-day trips, tours and other events.

I am a computer system engineer who loves making photographs and travelling, so I consider myself a hobbyist photographer.

A guestbook is available for visitors to sign, and a contact form sits alongside the about page.

Juan Carlos Heredia's photography portfolio is built around a simple idea: a camera teaches the eyes to look. The work gathers daily observations, travel impressions, thematic projects and personal galleries into one place, arranged so that browsing feels like turning through a quiet album rather than scanning a catalogue. Each section is introduced with a short reflection on what the photographer was trying to notice, which gives the images context without over-explaining them. The overall tone is understated and personal, closer to a visual journal than a commercial showcase.

The archive is organised in two complementary ways. By genre, it groups images according to six recurring themes, each representing a different way of paying attention to the same surroundings — streets and structures, open spaces, textures and shapes, people in their environments, natural detail, and portraiture. By year, it offers a chronological thread that shows how a body of work develops over time. Together these two paths let visitors move between subject and moment, finding familiar ground from either direction.

Within the thematic sections, individual galleries carry their own brief descriptions and are presented as self-contained visual sequences. Urbanscape work focuses on architecture, street geometry and the incidental details of city life, while landscape and nature galleries attend to light, weather and terrain. Abstract and people-oriented sets shift attention toward pattern, gesture and character. Additional formats such as timelapse and cinemagraphs extend still images into motion, adding another dimension to sequences that might otherwise read as static.

A descriptive introduction accompanies the portfolio, framing photography as a way to unleash creativity and document day-to-day trips, tours and events. The emphasis is on curiosity and accessibility: the camera invites closer looking at small places that would otherwise pass unnoticed, absorbing the sights around rather than chasing distant ones. Visitors are encouraged to browse freely, opening galleries in whatever order appeals, and to return to the blog for newer writing on the same subjects and ongoing projects.

Alongside the photographs, the site includes material about the photographer and an open guestbook where readers can leave impressions or notes. Browsing tools such as favourites, popular collections and a timeline view help visitors keep track of what caught their attention, while tag-based navigation connects related images across otherwise separate galleries. Print and download options appear where applicable, and a small contact section provides a route for enquiries, collaborations or print requests related to specific bodies of work.

The visual design mirrors the portfolio's restrained character. A clean white background gives photographs maximum presence, while a bold indigo accent marks announcements and primary calls to action. Typography stays in a single sans-serif system with clear hierarchy — larger medium-weight headings, smaller regular body text and occasional italic emphasis — and generous spacing separates each section. Soft rounded corners, subtle borders and light gray footer areas provide structure without hard lines, keeping the whole experience calm, airy and image-focused.

My camera has taught my eyes to look, to peer into small places, to absorb the sights around me. Here I share my visions with you.
