Those Who Were Never Found
After he returned to Chile, he continued his interest in photography despite the high prices to purchase process film and process it, although the advent of digital photography eliminated many of the obstacles that had prevented him from fully developing his skills as a photographer. He won his first photography contest with a 5-megapixel Kodak 7200 camera and bought his first Nikon digital camera with the prize money in 2002.
Eduardo's love of photography has blended well with his lifestyle, hiking and mountain biking throughout Chile. The two come together, allowing him to record the images of the wild places, and incredible flora and fauna of his native country of Chile, so that others may enjoy the richness of its diverse beauty.
