Fernando Cordero

I am a photographer by choice; I always knew what I wanted to do and my family contributed to it.

Photographic images are voluptuous and compelling to me; watching them on television left me perplexed, captivated; it was practically impossible for me to get away from the screen. Going to the movies was a sublime experience.

My father, an architect, instilled in me the functional, aesthetic and emotional knowledge contained in architectural structures.

In my adolescence I discovered an indescribable pleasure and facility in playing Mexican folk music and folk music from other Latin American countries. I learned to play various instruments ... I was moved by the sound, the lyrics and the expressiveness of our folklore.
I could grasp the sensitivity, and the love and fear deeply rooted in our culture.
Right after High School Graduation I took off to N.Y.C. Out in the streets of Manhattan I started experimenting with my musical instruments and the folk melodies that melted into the whirling wind, the clashing steel, the fire engine sirens, and the random raging screams of some wandering homeless that would make the portentous architectural structures quiver.
In spite of the downside to all things, I felt content and happy....
