New York 2011

So again photos from my trip to NY earlier this year (see my first 2 posts). Only had time to look back at them and select a few good ones now.

The 1st photo I took of Time Square, underexposed it by a few stops, through it out of focus & then played with the contrast. I love that it looks like a blur of colors jumping out. The 2nd one I took after jumping from puddle to puddle, looking for the right reflection & waiting for people to stop walking by (yes in Times Square!!). Love the line of the water just leading to the reflection of the iconic Time Square lights. The 3rd one is scary & loved it because of it. It looks like a red skull, a dark force from below watching over us....woooooo.

De vuelta fotos de mi viaje a NY este ano (ver mis 2 primeros posts). Solo tuve tiempo ahora para reveerlas y elegir un par de buenas fotos de esa noche que logre salir finalmente.

La 1era foto la saque en Times Square donde sub-expuse, tire la foto totalmente fuera de foco & despues jugue con el contraste. Me encanta por los borbotones de color y como resaltan. La 2da la tome despues de saltar de un charco de agua al otro, buscando el reflejo correcto & esperando que dejara pasar la gente (si! en Times Square!). Me encanto la linea del agua que te lleva al reflejo de las luces iconocas de Times Square. La 3era parece sacada de una pelicula de terror y me encanto por eso. Parece una calavera roja, una fuerza oscura que nos mira desde el infierno.....wooooo.

Old trip to New York and New Jersey

Over 2 years ago I traveled to New York and New Jersey for work. I arrived the weekend before so took the advantage to run out and take snapshots with my old iPhone 3G. The Empire State Building from the top (took us 3 hours to get up there), NY Central Station, typical traffic light stop sign, Robo-art in Jersey, and street artwork from the meat packing district in NY.

El edificio Empire State desde arriba (tardamos 3 horas en subir), la estacion central de NY, typica signo de 'pare' de semaforo, Robo-art en New Jersey, y arte urbano en el meat packing district de NY.

Old trip to Tokyo

Here go a series of pictures from a trip to Tokyo, Japan over 2 years ago. I took them all with my old iphone 3G. Have many more but selected these few which to my view represent Tokyo very well. The Typical colorful drink dispensers which are all over the city, a classic Japanese piece of art on a wall, funky window lights when going shopping near Ginza, a typical Japanese light and the iconic Tokyo tower.

New York Graffiti Compo

Took this graffiti compo during my trip in NY end Jan this year (2011). Saw the corner with graffiti going down both sides of the crossroad and automatically saw the picture compo in my head. Used my L35-16 at its widest angle 16mm. Blew up the corner entrance since that is the point of inflection of the building and the graffiti too since the art on both sides is really different too. Enjoy.

Saque esta compo de graffiti en mi ultimo viaje a NY a fines de Enero the este ano (2011). Vi este edificio con la entrada en la esquina y con graffiti bajando por sus dos lados y automaticamente me imagine la compo en mi cabeza. Use mi L35-16 en 16mm (gran angular). Agrande la foto de la entrada exagerando el punto de inflexion del edificio y tambien del tipo de graffiti. Me encanto. Disfruten.

Milenia Walk

Took this composite in Milenia Walk in Singapore. It is a long strip-like shopping mall with square cone-tipe colorful roofs which NO one ever notices. Biggest roof is the entrance hallway.

Tome esta serie de fotos en Milenia Walk en Singapore. Es un shopping largo & angosto con techos cuadrados tipo en cono y muy coloridos que nadie jamas observa.
