This is your first post. Edit or delete it, then start writing! - [Calm over the horizon](https://susanaarellano.com/calm-over-the-horizon/) - Many years ago, I worked for my parents who own a video production company. Because it is a family business, you inevitably end up wearing many hats and being the czar of many different jobs. I mainly managed projects and worked as a video editor. On production, there were times that I was called on to work as an audio tech and was made to wear headphones on long production days. In those days, having a really good set of headphones that picked up every nuance of sound was essential to making sure the client got what they needed. - [Inspired by clouds](https://susanaarellano.com/inspired-by-clouds/) - Last year I wrote about why booking too far in advance can be dangerous for your business, and this concept of margin so eloquently captures what I had recognized had been my problem: I was so booked up with clients that I wasn’t leaving any margin for error, growth, planning, or reflection. - [Make it clean and simple](https://susanaarellano.com/make-it-clean-and-simple/) - Just the other day I happened to wake up early. That is unusual for an engineering student. After a long time I could witness the sunrise. I could feel the sun rays falling on my body. Usual morning is followed by hustle to make it to college on time. This morning was just another morning yet seemed different. - [When you are alone](https://susanaarellano.com/when-you-are-alone/) - When you are alone for days or weeks at a time, you eventually become drawn to people. Talking to randos is the norm. I’ll never forget the conversation with the aquarium fisherman, forest ranger, and women at the Thai market. It’s refreshing to compare notes on life with people from vastly different backgrounds. - [Real time design tools](https://susanaarellano.com/real-time-design-tools/) - Just the other day I happened to wake up early. That is unusual for an engineering student. After a long time I could witness the sunrise. I could feel the sun rays falling on my body. Usual morning is followed by hustle to make it to college on time. This morning was just another morning yet seemed different. - [Stumbled the concept](https://susanaarellano.com/stumbled-the-concept/) - Last year I wrote about why booking too far in advance can be dangerous for your business, and this concept of margin so eloquently captures what I had recognized had been my problem: I was so booked up with clients that I wasn’t leaving any margin for error, growth, planning, or reflection. - [Time is passing by](https://susanaarellano.com/time-is-passing-by/) - Every selector has the potential to have unintended side effects by targeting unwanted elements or clashing with other selectors. More surprisingly, our selectors may even lose out in the global specificity war, ultimately having little or no effect on the page at all. Any time we make a change to a CSS file, we need to carefully consider the global environment in which our styles will sit. No other front end technology requires so much discipline just to keep the code at a minimum level of maintainability. - [Hey DJ play that song](https://susanaarellano.com/hey-dj-play-that-song/) - Many years ago, I worked for my parents who own a video production company. Because it is a family business, you inevitably end up wearing many hats and being the czar of many different jobs. I mainly managed projects and worked as a video editor.

That’s because the light takes on a warm golden hue and hits the subject from the side instead of the top. t’s difficult to recreate the grandeur of a vast landscape in the confines of a picture frame. - [Learn the rules first](https://susanaarellano.com/learn-the-rules-first/) - I was recently quoted as saying, I don't care if Instagram has more users than Twitter. If you read the article you’ll note there’s a big “if” before my not giving of said shit. Numbers are important. Number of users is important. So are lots of other things. Different services create value in different ways. Trust your gut as much (or more) than the numbers. Figure out what matters and build something good. - [The new brand identity](https://susanaarellano.com/the-new-brand-identity/) - When you are alone for days or weeks at a time, you eventually become drawn to people. Talking to randos is the norm. I’ll never forget the conversation with the aquarium fisherman, forest ranger, and women at the Thai market.

The title refers to the dual experience of growing up and living between two cultures, using two languages and developing an enriched identity. Participants use 35mm film cameras to take photographs of their daily lives, family relationships and social structure, among other subjects. Photography acts as a platform for exchanging points of views, sharing feelings and exploring cultural identities. The images and audio presented on this online exhibition are not only a cross-section of the children and parents’ work, but also a window that looks into the joys and struggles of being a Mexican-American immigrant family in the U.S. Photographs and conversations coalesce to bridge the gap between two generations and two cultures. - [Here There Acá Allá 2013](https://susanaarellano.com/portfolio/here-there-aca-alla-2013-2/) - Here There, Acá Allá is an intergenerational photography workshop that brings together the first and second generations of participating Mexican-American immigrant families.
