Conquistador in Spanish means 'conqueror,' one who overcomes or surmounts. Historically, the word refers to Spaniards without inheritance who led expeditions to the newly discovered Americas in search of fortune and fame. The most successful conquistador was Hernán Cortés, who in 1521, with some 800 men and 16 horses, armed with swords, lances, crossbows, and a few small cannon, and with the aid of native American allies, overran the mighty Aztec Empire in Mexico. Francisco Pizarro similarly conquered the Inca Empire in Peru.A Conquistador holds the personal accumulation of knowledge, wealth, and power to be a noble and worthy lifetime ambition. He appreciates his unique place in the universe and the glorious opportunity that life presents to him. He seeks truth not merely to know it but to use it, to live it, to exploit it.A Conquistador is never wanting for a purpose in life and marvels at the lack of ambition in those around him. He regards a passive life to be a wasted life. Neither an optimist nor a pessimist, he is ever hopeful, a man of faith.A Conquistador is a leader, not a follower. He understands that the pursuit of consensus is the absence of leadership. He does not enlist in the crusades of others, much less martyr himself, regardless of the nobility of the cause. He is his own sovereign nation beholden to no man for those who attempt to coerce loyalty from him can be satisfied with a facsimile.A Conquistador is a creator. He seeks knowledge, wealth, and power for the purpose of creation and he accumulates knowledge, wealth, and power as a consequence of creation.A Conquistador appreciates and enjoys the finer things in life but he does not depend on them. A Conquistador is equally comfortable dining in the upper west side, laboring in the ghetto, or force marching through the wilderness.A Conquistador is aware of, and sensitive to, the envy and jealousy of others. He offers his sympathy to them but never allows them to delay his pursuit of ambitions and he is never surprised to find an envious knife at his throat.A Conquistador understands that, within his circle of trust, blunt truth and clarity of purpose are the foundation for effective action but he knows that correcting the ignorance of fools is a fool's errand.A Conquistador measures himself by the loyalty and love of his friends, the respect and adulation of his acquaintances, and the fear and animosity of his enemies. He assures that while his enemies may never know what to expect from him, his friends will never doubt his fidelity. And he is ever watchful for opportunities to turn enemies into friends.A Conquistador knows that the most powerful word in any language is "no." He never allows himself to be bled by the endless demands of others. Instead, he builds networks of trust one favor at a time and chooses those whom he serves with deliberation and a view toward integrity and reciprocity.A Conquistador is an exemplary gentleman or lady unless or until circumstances require the unsheathing of his sword.I'm a professional photographer/videographer located in Albuquerque, New Mexico with a background in fashion, pageant, glamour, headshot and event photography and videography. I have worked with Hooters of New Mexico on and off for the past 13 years, and have worked with almost every major pageant and model search in New Mexico including Miss New Mexico USA. So i am the real deal and not some flyby night operation, so if you have any interest in modeling, pageants or promotions, please contact me for futher information. I have been in operation for over 15 years and back in the day i was a bikini contest promoter and held fashion shows regularly in nightclubs and other venues, which is something that i plan to do in 2006. We are currently planning a traveling fashion show complete with models, go-go dancers, DJ's and even bands depending on the venue size. I am currently working with both digital and old skool film cameras in both my studio, and for on location photoshoots, and we also offer documentary style 3CCD digital video coverage. We currently are one of the only studios in the country that offers a "senior portrait session" captured on digital video, thats footage of your actual fashion photoshoot along with interviews with friends and family, for the MTV look. I travel throughout the Southwestern United States and have clients in Phoenix, Denver, El Paso, Lubbock and Las Vegas. I am impressed with the amount of great photography that some female members of myspace have posted. But it's also sad to see a beautiful girl with the standard cell phone self portrait..if you are located in any those areas mentioned above feel free to message me on my website www.bobmaresphotography.com or here on myspace for my travel schedule.I have a profile on Castlist
