Mumbai in full colors










Hi all, came back from a business trip 2 weeks ago from Mumbai. I managed to get away on a Saturday to take pictures. We drove around and went to a street market, the Mumbai gate, had some great food and managed to take some colorful photos. Had a great time! Thanks Ramnik for taking me around!
I took all these with my M9-P and a 35mm Sumicron a perfect combo. Enjoy the vivid colors!!

Pix Tsunami






A few weeks ago we went to FOAM here in Amsterdam and attended an expo representing the snapshot traffic out there...on facebook, flicker, websites, blogs, being sent on MMS, Wasap etc etc...the complete overload, overflow of images we're exposed to. Snapshots taken every day, every hour, every minute...with point and shoot, DSLR, mobile phones or ANY kind of camera we happen to have with us which we immediately share. Pictures we take for any given reason, to share a new haircut, birthdays, holidays, something funny or surprising we find on the street and even to full fill our artistic cravings. Just wanted to share this Tsunami of pictures I am partly responsible for.

Hace un par de semanas fuimos a FOAM aca en Amsterdam a ver una expo sobre el traffico de fotos alla afuera....en facebook, flicker, sitios web, blogs, MMS, Wasap etc etc. Un completo descontrol, desborde de imagenes al que estamos expuestos. Fotos sacadas todos los dias, a toda hora, minuto...con cualquier tipo de camera que tengamos a mano para enseguida compartir. Fotos que sacamos por cualquier razon, desde mostrar un nuevo corte de pelo, cumpleanos, vacaciones, algo gracioso, ingeniose o raro que encontramos en la calle, o simplemente para satisfacer las necesidades artisticas que tenemos todos. Simplemente queria compartir este Tsunami de imagenes del cual soy en parte responsable.

Hi everyone! Found this video clip (In Your Arms - Kina Grannis) and just loved it because it is so simple, creative & colorful. It was made using 288000 jelly beans, 2460 frames (yes, shot frame by frame), 1357 hours, took 1 year of shooting & over 2 years to get the videoclip out there. Loved it. Enjoy.

Building Lights

So another shot I took at night of a building that was all lit up with lights. I underexposed it & through it out of focus so that the lights would pop-out like bright round bubbles. Then converted it into B&W to make it a little more dramatic. Like this one too because although the lights are the main attraction you can still see very subtly the building structure.

Asique otra foto que tome a la noche de un edificio todo iluminado con luces. Sub-expuse & saque todo fuera de foco para que las luces resaltaran en la oscuridad como burbujas de luz. Luego la converti a blanco y negro para darle un poco mas de drama a la foto. Me gusto como quedo porque a pesar de que la principal attraccion son las luces, todavia se puede ver muy sutilmente la estructura del edificio.

Backlight Party Dispenser

So went to Euro Disney with my beautiful girls and as we walked back after an exhausting day there was this series of Coca-Cola dispensers lit up with bright yellow and red colors...it made them look like dispensers of fun & as kids walked by it attracted them like bees to honey. Their last chance before heading back home.

Fuimos con mis chicas a Euro Disney y cuando caminabamos de vuelta despues de un dia agotador nos cruzamos con esta serie de dispensores de Coca-Cola iluminados de vibrantes colores amarillo y rojo...los hacia parecer como dispensors de alegria, & lograba atraer a todo chico que pasara como miel a las abejas. La ultima opportunidad de antes de enprender la vuelta a casa.

Amsterdam Graffiti

Hi guys. Took this picture 6 years ago in Amsterdam. They were doing some work on a building near Van Gogh museum and had set up some panels which were then graffitied for the full 50 meters. This was the first compo I ever made & what makes it really special is the couple just stepping into the pic on the right hand side. Its one of the few photos I've taken which I re-look and still like (usually a few days or weeks after I took photo and I don't like it anymore!).

Hola gente. Tome esta foto hace 6 anios en Amsterdam. Estaban trabajando en un edificio ahi cerca del museo de Van Gogh, levantaron unos paneles protectores a lo ancho del edificio (50 metros) que terminaron llenando de Graffitti. Esta fue la primera compo que hice & lo que la hace realmente especial es la pareja entrando por la derecha en la foto. Es una de las pocas fotos que vuelvo a mirar una y otra vez y todavia me gusta (por lo general despues de un par de dias o semanas de sacar cualquier foto no me gusta mas!).
