In this Journey that is Life, with Nature as a gift,
TOPOgraphing and PHOTographing 
I WALK the World,
with feet (and hands) on Earth, 
but of course, flying ...

TOPography

Measure the Earth: describe it and represent it geometrically, my profession.

PHOTOgraphy

Capture the Earth: immortalize some of its unrepeatable moments, my hobby.

ICIAR MARTINEZ

My name is Icíar Martínez,
I'm a professional in
Geomatic Engineering and Surveying.

Welcome and thank you very much!


NATURE has always been the medium where I can BE:

From my furthest memories, my concerns have been linked to the need to be in the MOUNTAIN, TRAVELING, EXERCISING ... because that's where I find the way to try to experiment and apply the advantages of a simple, light life, healthy, honest, respectful ...life

Probably my parents and sister have had a lot to do with all this, encouraging me to think fby myself, motivating with freedom but with effort and observing their lives, I think they managed to find the difference between the things that are worth from the things that have a price.
Thank you! for let me be myself ...

That is why, MAPS, the globes, the ball of the World ... have always attracted my attention enormously ...going to find what is intuited in them, but above all, to find what does'n appear...

In addition, as far as I wanted to go (I went to the antipodes of "my house" to see what there was), I 'm so luchy to be born in an area of the Earth (Asturias), which I know it will never stop surprinding me every new day, around every new valley, town, forest, mountain, corner or person, and I don't get tired of "kicking it" ...

For all the above, at seventeen I chose to study "Technical Engineering in Surveying" because I was attracted to the idea of work in a profession involved in Nature, field, outdoors, exercise, teamwork, mobility, variety ...

Since 1999, I developed my job mainly in civil works , (Highways, Roads, FFCC, AVE, Airports, Building) because at that time it was where there were more possibilities to start working. At te same time I continued training and updating me continuously, with many technic courses.

Always willing to continue learning and given that the present times require flexibility, adaptability and above all, versatility, in 2011 I made the itinerary to “Degree in Geomatic Engineering and Topography” (Bologna title) and in 2012 I finished the “Master in Remote Sensing and GIS ”, (Geographic Information Systems), whose objective has been to evolve in the field of new technologies, linked to my previous training, especially those relating to geo-mapping and internet maps.

The last works have been those corresponding to the elaboration of an Inventory of Public Roads, developing the profession in the rural environment, where I enjoy it so much.

In this journey, I have also been completing the training with other Professional Degrees that are also vital issues of daily application, essential and fundamental, that enrich everyday life, such as those related to"Volunteering and Cooperation", "Organic Farming" and "Environmental Education Monitor-Environmental and Environmental Management Monitor".

Enjoying the profession as much as possible, is very important to find motivation, initiative, organization, planning and of course in order to do a great quality work.

Likewise, being able to apply creativity is essential to face problems, make decisions and obtain correct solutions.

In short: attitude ...
...for everything in life.

PHOTOgraphy

What I really want is to live in every moment. Merging, being part of it consciously, squeeze it ...
Then, only sometimes, at that moment...I take a picture:

I don't have studies or great knowledge of photography, but I don't know why, since I was little I like to look through a camera. I had a reflex, it was a Yashica that my parents gave me, which I remember with great affection, I think I made some fantastic photos. I remember revealing with my cousin, the dark room, the magic of silver salts ...

On the way from the analog to the digital there were various types of cameras and I currently use a Fuji X-T2 (the trips and excursions I do are almost always on foot and in mountainous terrain, for this reason I appreciate having a team as light as possible), a compact Canon Poweshot S120 (which still amazes me), a GoPro Hero 7 Black and the mobile. As Fernando González told me some years ago: "If you want to take a picture, the best camera is the one you have at that time."

Today I can - I need - to lose myself for some time, hours, days ... that pass like a breath, walking, "wandering"... That's when, sometimes, I take photos, alone. Loneliness that I have as an ally, not only because the experience seems to me much more authentic for EVERYTHING it implies (taking photos is the excuse, the consequence), but also because, sharing, understanding and enjoying the times, kicks, hardships, insomnia, cold, etc, which I like to go through (although they are not so much ...), it can sometimes be tiresome for others (I'm sure you understand me ...).

It is easy to guess that the part that excites me most about photography is the outside, no doubt!. I try to make the most of the magnificent possibilities that the cameras currently have and I spend as much time as possible outdoors, so the edition, although it's necessary and very attractive, I do not master and use it very often, just to make basic corrections and minimum adjustments, and for exceptional cases in which it is essential, or very rarely, to experiment.

I like, only sometimes, to capture a moment that I find myself living spontaneously.
I don't like to invent the moment, just remember it.
That is why I think that probably the best photographs are the ones that are revealed in the heart ...
