"Thank you Revelation for your comment. I think that what the woman in the picture shows is all this fear on her life, the insecurity and the need to find love. This is Leonor. the main character of my novel. Orfan at early age, and living her…"

¿Quién es alTirado?
Creo que desde mi temprana juventud yo quería ser escritor. Sin embargo me hice fotógrafo desde joven hasta que más tarde me convertí en profesional. Aun así, como periodista gráfico, continué escribiendo para diferentes medios por muchos años y eso me daba satisfacciones aunque no fuera la clase de escritura con la que yo soñaba, pero estaba tratando y un par de novelas se perdieron en el camino. Yo mismo me publique un libro de cuentos cortos, Un Poeta al Paredón. Varios de estos cuentos fueron publicados en revistas mexicanas.Después de llevar la vida por aquí y por allá y de haber viajado a muchos lugares en el mundo en una forma u en otra, no sé porqué pero me atreví a escribir mis memorias y esto llenó un buen número de páginas que publiqué en una edición privada. Probablemente estaba pensando que ya estaba llegando al final de mi vida. Después de haber estado 20 años fuera de México, me encontré con que ya era el momento de regresar a mi país y seguir adelante con una vida nueva, con ideas y perspectivas nuevas. El haber venido a vivir a San Miguel Allende lo ha hecho posible. Ahora tengo publicados un libro con fotografías de San Miguel y un libro con la colección de 33 artistas, pintores, escultores y ceramistas de San Miguel. Los dos títulos están siendo editados ya, para una segunda edición en este año 2009. Pero mi logro más satisfactorio es el de la publicación de mi primera novela, LA DAMA DEL SILENCIO. Una ficción biografica de una mujer que nació con el siglo, en 1900 y creció durante los horrores de la Revolución Mexicana mientras buecaba como huerfana el amor y la felicidad. La Dama del Silencio será presentada en Febrero de 2010 uniendose a los festejos del Centenario de la Revolución Mexicana.

Who is alTirado?
During my early youth I wanted to be a writer. Instead I became a photographer since I was young until I got to do it professionally. Still as a photojournalist I continued for many years writing for different medias and that was my way to be a writer, but not the kind that I was dreaming of and a couple of novels got lost along the road. I have self published a book with short stories, Un Poeta al Paredón. Several of those stories were published in Mexican magazines.After living here and there, and traveling many places in the world in one way or another, I don’t know why but I dare to write my memoirs and that filled up a good number of pages, that I published in a private edition. Maybe I was thinking about getting to the end of my life. Then after 20 years of being out of Mexico I decided to come back to my country and move on with a new life, new ideas and perspectives. Coming to San Miguel Allende, Mexico made possible all of that. Now I have published one book with my first photographic impressions of San Miguel. Another book with a collection of thirty three artists, painters, sculptors and ceramicists, was published at the beginning of 2009. Both of them will have a second edition in January 2010.second edition run this year 09.But my most happy accomplishment is the publication of my first novel, LA DAMA DEL SILENCIO. A fiction biography of a woman that was born with the century, in 1900, and lived through the horrors of the Mexican Revolution while struggling to find love and happiness. La Dama del Silencio will be presented in February 2010, as part of the celebration of the Mexican Revolution 100 years anniversary.
