Babies! 🖤

I’ve been struggling with whether to share this, but I feel you deserve to know.

Two weeks ago, I lost both of my cameras, all my lenses, and my flash equipment. I had been waiting around 40 minutes for a model who never showed up. I left frustrated, got on the metro, and in a moment of distraction, left my equipment bag on the train.

I contacted the metro company immediately, but unfortunately, there’s still no news of my equipment.

The hardest part has been the shame and guilt. I know people say “these things happen,” but when it happens to you, it hurts. This equipment is my livelihood and a huge part of who I am.

I had to act quickly because I already had paid jobs that week. I rented equipment for some and eventually bought a new camera with a 35mm lens so I could keep working.

And I need to thank you.

Your support here made it possible for me to face this unexpected expense. Every subscription, purchase, PPV and message genuinely matters. 🖤

I still need to replace my BTS camera, though. And instead of simply replacing it, I’m thinking about getting an even better one so I can make the BTS content you love even better. I’m considering a crowdfunding campaign, but I want to hear what you think first.

For now, I’m only sharing this with you. I’m not ready to talk about it on Instagram.

I’m also incredibly grateful for the people who helped me through these two weeks — especially my boyfriend Rudy and my two best friends. Spending some quiet time with Rudy last weekend made me feel safe again when I really needed it.

And this Saturday, I’m going to Croatia.

I actually considered cancelling my vacation, but I decided to go. For the first time in a long time, I’ll travel without a camera, without equipment, without work. I think I need to breathe.

But don't worry — I've got you covered. 😂 I’ve prepared content here until October 4th, when I’m back in Madrid. I’ll mostly stay away from Instagram apart from Stories and focus on you guys here.

This wasn’t easy to share. I’m still embarrassed, but I’m trying to make the best out of a really difficult situation.

If you want to support me, simply staying here, buying something from the store, commenting, or sending me a message means more than you know.

And if you’ve ever made a mistake that stayed in your head long after it happened, tell me about it below.

I could really use some human stories right now. 🖤

¡Babies! 🖤

He estado dudando mucho si compartir esto, pero siento que ustedes merecen saberlo.

Hace dos semanas perdí mis dos cámaras, todos mis objetivos y mi equipo de flashes. Había estado esperando unos 40 minutos a un modelo que nunca apareció. Me fui frustrado, me subí al metro y, en un momento de distracción, dejé mi bolsa con todo el equipo dentro del tren.

Me puse inmediatamente en contacto con la empresa de Metro, pero desgraciadamente todavía no hay noticias de mi equipo.

Lo más difícil ha sido la vergüenza y la culpa. Sé que la gente dice “estas cosas pasan”, pero cuando te pasa a ti, duele. Este equipo es mi forma de ganarme la vida y una parte enorme de quién soy.

Tuve que reaccionar rápidamente porque ya tenía trabajos pagados esa semana. Alquilé equipo para algunos y finalmente compré una cámara nueva con un objetivo de 35 mm para poder seguir trabajando.

Y necesito darles las gracias.

Su apoyo aquí hizo posible que pudiera afrontar este gasto inesperado. Cada suscripción, compra, PPV y mensaje realmente importa. 🖤

Todavía necesito reemplazar mi cámara de BTS. Y en lugar de simplemente sustituirla, estoy pensando en conseguir una todavía mejor para poder hacer aún mejor el contenido detrás de cámaras que tanto les gusta. Estoy considerando hacer un crowdfunding, pero primero quiero saber qué piensan ustedes.

Por ahora, solamente se lo estoy contando a ustedes. Todavía no estoy preparado para hablar de esto en Instagram.

También estoy increíblemente agradecido por las personas que me ayudaron durante estas dos semanas — especialmente mi novio Rudy y mis dos mejores amigos. Pasar un poco de tiempo tranquilo con Rudy el fin de semana pasado me hizo sentir seguro otra vez cuando realmente lo necesitaba.

Y este sábado me voy a Croacia.

Incluso llegué a plantearme cancelar las vacaciones, pero decidí ir. Por primera vez en muchísimo tiempo voy a viajar sin cámara, sin equipo y sin trabajo. Creo que necesito respirar.

Pero no se preocupen — I've got you covered. 😂 Ya tengo contenido preparado aquí hasta el 4 de octubre, cuando vuelva a Madrid. Estaré prácticamente alejado de Instagram, excepto por Stories, y quiero centrarme en ustedes aquí.

No ha sido fácil compartir esto. Sigo sintiéndome avergonzado, pero estoy intentando sacar lo mejor de una situación realmente difícil.

Si quieren apoyarme, simplemente quedarse aquí, comprar algo de la tienda, comentar o mandarme un mensaje significa más de lo que imaginan.

Y si alguna vez han cometido un error que se quedó en su cabeza mucho después de haber ocurrido, cuéntenmelo abajo.

Ahora mismo me vendría muy bien leer historias humanas. 🖤

Thank you baby for being there for me during these difficult days ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh my gosh, this literally just happened to me three weeks ago. I was coming back for a photo shoot carrying a bunch of stuff and I put my camera down to press the crosswalk button before crossing the street. I was so exhausted for the photo shoot. I just walked away. I forgot to pick it up. 😞 just like you luckily used to have content that I can post but it is a horrible feeling. I’m sorry that you’re going through this as well.

Erick Monterrosa

Oh wow, I’m so sorry you went through this too. 😔 It really is such a horrible feeling, and I think only someone who has experienced it can truly understand the mix of shock, guilt, and frustration that comes with it. Thank you for sharing this with me. It honestly makes me feel a little less alone in the whole situation. ❤️ I hope you were able to recover yours somehow, and I’m glad you still have content you can work with. Sending you a big hug. 🖤

Crobledo

Not yet, I reported it to the police, there’s video of the person that picked it up and took it, but they haven’t found it yet. 😞 and yes, the same feelings that you’re feeling are exactly the ones that I’m feeling. lol At this point, I feel like I’ll probably need to buy a new one 😭 3k down the drain

I can only imagine how you must have felt... 😭 I wish I could help more... 🫂
