Spring No 1A

Spring is here.
It sneaked on me
as the sun does
every morning.
What will the lazy
hour bring to us?
Only God knows.

Reflection No 6

A walking dream, I am.
I carry no boulders
on my shoulders
but the shadows of
a rising sun.

Clouds No 3

The joy of raising our eyes
and seeing the clouds!
Clouds, clouds, clouds,
the sky dressed on white!
Oh clouds of my heart,
lift me high toward you.
Then I am happy.

Reflection No 5

Gone, Pollock, Gone.
Not among my favorite,
however you came.
I accept you.
You dripped your vanes
in my river bank.
Welcome to my world.
Welcome.

Fire No 1




"....The Angel of the LORD
appeared to him in
flames of fire..."

Rock No 3

Beauty in any place,
we find; then,
we open up
and the moon
reaches underneath
the blankets.
Spring runs wild
on streets of salt.

Abstraction No 2

I listen to the radio. They play Bossa Nova.
An abstract photo jumps out of nowhere.
Nothing much to say
but texture and the discovery of
shadows and highlights
inmersed in color.
Do they have the shape of love?
Do they?

Cloud No 2.

What a day!
Exhausting. We are preparing to move
to our new house.
So much work and so little time.
Still I took the D90 lady around.
Here is my find for the day.
It turned out to be a B&W.
A little gift from the heaven
to touch my heart.

Rock No 2

I dance among the four elements.
Is there any more joy than
an evening dance when our love
await us?
Is there any more joy
of art for art's sake,
without pretention
nor wanting a reward?

Reflection No 4

Water and joy at mid day.
Lightings and shadows reaching
deep into our souls.
What would it be?
What sounds will come
to sleep in our shores?
A broken pause steps
into our fingers
to feed our dreams.
Then, a crack and the merlin
leaves the hidden cave.

Reflection No 3

More reflection from the lake.
Is not amazing what is possible?
A style to master.
A photo without intellectual meaning,
A photo full of happiness and joy.
Dancing color inmersed in patterns.
What else do we want?
All is given.

Reflections No 2

I did it. Today I took some pictures with an HDR approach.
Why? Would this help my work flow?
It looks that it eliminates S/H
while adding more pixels to work with.
Minimun impact on the vision.
No mayor effect on work flow.
Just another tool on hand
to show the sacred beauty that surround us.
Here is my first intent.
-Not bad for a forest reflecting on
the lake near my house.
Not bad at all.

Cloud No 1

Is this my first cloud?
No, not all.
It is the first cloud on a series
for a cloud portfolio.

Rock No 1

Rock formations.
The holy trinity.
Truth, Goodness, Beauty.

HDR

Oh man, HDR,
something that I do not do...
but I think I should...
a road to nowhere...
where am I going?
How to do HDR
and keep to the
natural vision?
That is the question?

So this must be
also explored.

Wall No 1

A fence wall found just outside the University of Greensboro.
Vertical structures held by the square.
Verticals and squares sustaining each others.
Surprised.

Please me the way my photos evolve.
I am a child playing on a field full of images. 
The joy of colors and shapes,
the happiness of the visions around me,
what else could I ask?
What else?
A bliss.

Board No 5

A theme for the day: Boarding.
A square composition.
Found patterns in nature.

Board No 4

A shape held by another shape.
What a joy of pattern found
in the sleepy woods!

Light and colors

While listening to Leonard Cohen,
I found Claude Monet among my photos.
He said, "here I am, my friend.
Let me not be forgotten.
Time is alive."

Board No 3

A tight image.
Abstraction found on an easy walk.
What hold together this image
but its tighness. That is odd.

Board No 2A

Another interesting pattern found on the road.
Why do I like it?
Because of the webbing shapes and rough textures.

Dance No 1


I am beginning to enjoy this type of images. Probably I ought to look deeper into them. No because I do not have others but because I am learning to get them.
