Final Four

Station 23

I went to the Fire Station 23. It was a very nice experience but nothing happened while I was there. It was only one called about fired in some complex apartment, but when we got there It was nothing. I had a lot of fun in the truck while we were in the way to the called. I was so excited. Everybody was very nice. I will come back next Monday or Tuesday for more adventures and get more photos.

This photo is from a concert a few months ago. He is Marco from Nightwish. This day I wanted to have some shoots, so I bring my camera and once I was there I speak with a security guy to check out if I was able to have photos at the front of the stage. He said: this is not possible. you suppose to pay to get a vip pass to be able to photograph them, but you are pretty so I let you take some shoots... hehehe be a woman has some advantages sometimes. Then I was the whole concert at front of the stage taking photos : )

Less than a mile from the heart of downtown Atlanta, a hidden treasure, a secret sanctuary, welcomes you. This garden cemetery, founded in 1850, is the final resting place of many of Atlanta's settlers, builders, and most noted citizens like Bobby Jones, Margaret Mitchell, and Maynard Jackson. It is also a showplace of sculpture and architecture, and a botanical preserve with ancient oaks and magnolias. Here in this peaceful place the full scope of the city's rich and fascinating history unfolds before you. CLICK HERE for more information.

Shooting with Large Format

This is a video of me at the Blue Ridge Parkway shooting a 4x5 large format camera with Ryan Tyrl. 

Eye-One Display 2

Colour management starts with your monitor, and if it isn't correctly calibrated there is little if any chance of colour being displayed accurately. Therefore, the key to obtaining colour accuracy and consistency across applications and systems is to use a good quality hardware device to measure the light emitted from the display. This review discusses the latest revision to Gretag Macbeth's Eye-One Display colorimeter along with the supporting Eye-One Match software. CLICK HERE.

Violin Men @ the Mexico Streets

Environment Portrait Mexico

I went to Mexico City last March to visit my sister in law. She was very kind and showed me the beauty of the Capital. So many wonderful places around the city...the people...the food; everything was perfect and rich in culture. As you see in this picture this nice man looks so proud to be on the street playing for people to get some money to survive in this world. 

Black & White

Industria

This is one of the images from my BLACK AND WHITE Final Four in my second quarter as a photographry student at Gwinnett tech. I took all the shots in the same day. It was very cold and cloudy. I had to stay a long time in these places to wait for the perfect light. But when the light came it was too bright so I decided to take three different exposures for the normal, the highlights and the shadows, and then put them together  to make the perfect photograph.
