colors and shapes

el patito feo

colors

bubbles in the sky

I wish I had gotten the trunk of this tree... but I didn't... I still like the dark contrast between the tree trunk and the sky... now here is my question to whoever reads this:

I love black and white photos, but sometimes I feel that black and white photos are the easy way to make a photo look "romantic" or "good"... so what do you guys think? should I try to do more color?

Here I was playing with the depth of field option... I like how the trees in the background create some sort of arch behind jason...

my dad - I dont even know what he was looking at but this was taken at the Santa Fe plaza while chatting with Jimmi and Jason

together - forever

Playing with the focus - at the botanical gardens of Albuquerque

I am looking at you

I have noticed that some photographers like to take photos of children from a higher perspective and to photograph adults looking out towards something that the viewer cannot see. I like this photo because Jason is aware that I am photographing him and is looking straight at the camera with an amused expression.

me gusta cuando callas...

This makes me think of a typical bohemian night in Valparaiso, Chile. But in fact this is my cousin Jimmi and we are in a little restaurant in Santa Fe. I chose to make this photo black and white to take away some of the distractions that colors sometimes give. I like the expression in his hands and eyes.

alone we stand

As you drive into Taos, NM, you see this lonely tree against the huge sky - I love it. It is so lonely and so majestic. Standing on its own. I love the theme of survival in art, and everytime I see this tree I think of how much it has gone through to survive in such a harsh environment.
