About Me

I'm Olga Noemi Torres and I'm a fat photographer. I'm a fat person. I'm not fluffy. I'm not full figured. I'm not thick boned. I'm fat.

I'm a 47 year old married woman who enjoys taking photographs. I'm a mom of 2 or 6 depending on the day. I'm married to the most patient man this world has ever seen. I have a 16 year old toy poodle named Ollie and a 2 year old cat named Gato (original, I know).

I studied photography at Orange Coast College. I shoot with a Sony a7 II. I overthink my shots because I can't commit. The elusive Decisive Moment will always be my Achilles heel. 

Currently, I'm having a love affair with Luca Pacioli, "The Father of Accounting and Bookkeeping." Thanks to the friar's double-entry system of bookkeeping, I have many more white hairs than I should. I'd like to say that I'm almost finish, but nah, I'm not.

I love reading and writing short stories from memories and anecdotes. I'm grammatically inept but I try irregardless. Just kidding! Regardless, I try regardless.

You know that saying that goes something along the lines of "She believed she could, so she did"? It's everywhere. There's calendars, bracelets, keychains, cups... you name it, it's out there. In fact, I believe it's the header on my Facebook profile.

I've decided that today is the day where I actually say "I believe I can, so I fucking will!"

So, join me in my weight loss journey to a healthier me. Join me in my adventure of trying to capture the elusive Decisive Moment. Join me in my love affair with the friar Luca, who collaborated with Leonardo (no, not the teenage mutant ninja turtle) da Vinci and join me in reading my grammatically impaired journal entries.
