First, a great piece of writing here, Rodrigo. I like the way you broke it into a timeline. The progression is impressive.
I very much agree about the "great" concept. The greats show the way by inspiring us to do our best.
I also really like the flow in your work from early to current. The continuum is clearly present. I would have a difficult time choosing a favorite from the collection used in this story. Though I have a soft spot for your house photos. And the power lines of course! That's one we share.
Congratulations on all the gallery shows. Again I like the progression of galleries, to your home exhibits, to not having to deal with the business side.
Again, a wonderful story here, of your lifetime with the camera! Kudos to you, my friend.
