La fotografia probablemente es la aficion mas generalizada en el mundo y es dificil imaginar a una familia donde, por lo menos, uno de sus miembros no posea una camara o no haya aparecido en una fotografia. Incluso con el nacimiento de la camara de video, cuyos aficionados aseguraban abandonar para siempre la fotografia, el mundo de la camara fotografica ha continuado imparable con nuevas marcas y modelos que aparecen cada ano. Y es que nada se puede comparar a mirar una fotografia que ha capturado para siempre un momento determinado de nuestras vidas. Aunque las peliculas familiares rodadas en video consiguen que podamos realizar un viaje en el tiempo, al pasado, una y otra vez, recordando no solamente a las personas sino tambien sus voces, la fotografia logra mostrar aquello que el ojo humano no suele percibir. Esa fraccion de segundo, en la cual podemos ver un gesto, situacion o caracteristica que se escapa de nuestra percepcion visual, queda reflejada para siempre en una fotografia y nos muestra aspectos ineditos de nuestra vida. Pero no solamente por esto la fotografia ha conseguido permanecer invariable en el mundo entero, anclada como la mejor opcion para los recuerdos, sino que es ya imprescindible desde hace muchos anos en la prensa diaria, las revistas, las bibliotecas y en el apasionante mundo de Internet. Cuando usted quiere conocer la vida de alguien, preferentemente quiere que le muestren fotografias y si su deseo es llevar algo de esa persona querida cerca de su corazon, que mejor que una fotografia en su cartera. Tambien podra tener una imagen cerca de la cabecera de su cama, en su mesilla de noche, lo mismo que en su mesa de trabajo o en un gran poster colgado en su cuarto y que muestra a su cantante o estrella del cine favorito. Una fotografia le hara sonar, reir o llorar, segun el motivo o la persona que haya quedado plasmada en ella, y seguramente sera lo que mas eche de menos cuando se le incendien sus enseres o pierda su cartera en la calle. Tambien sera capaz de pelear por evitar que alguien le destroce una foto entranable ante sus ojos, del mismo modo que mostrara una instantanea debidamente ampliada en sus manifestaciones politicas o reivindicativas. Y es que, no se olvide, una fotografia no solamente detiene el tiempo, ya que lo hace igualmente con las emociones, con los sentimientos, y nada nos hace mas humanos que contemplar largamente un recuerdo, un instante de nuestras vidas que nunca mas podra repetirse con tal exactitud. En este libro y aunque parezca que hemos retrocedido en el tiempo, hablamos especialmente de la fotografia analogica, la cual nos asegura un dominio de la tecnica mas completo que la tecnologia digital
