The idea to start this kind of magazine came to me when I realized that I spent hours and hours on flickr, scrolling through photos and that I was very (and I still am) pleasantly surprised by their beauty. There are so many talented people who make this world more beautiful with their art. Although I’ve never studied journalism or any related field, which would make me “professionally” qualified
to work on a magazine or any publishing, I feel that Finder is some kind of a product of my 5-year study of aesthetics and my aesthetic feelings. I really enjoy combining photos together, making them work together and putting them in one place where people can find them and browse through like in a book. I would really like to let this tiny project grow into something bigger someday, to give Finder a printed form. But for now, I consider it as a catalog where I collect these mesmerizing photographs. I have a very warm feeling each time I see people like the magazine. It makes me even more eager to work harder. Thank you for your support, kindness and primarily, for your amazing pictures. Yours, Gabriela
