Athens – Greece. It is rare that you can find some of the great minds of all history, together with gods and architecture in the same city, let alone the same picture. May the gods be with us, to complete our path. May the wise men be with us.
Salzburg – Austria. Where the Sound of Music is still alive. Wonderful gardens, divine chocolate and desserts, and happiness abound.
Paris – The Louvre – The place were art from all over the world has accumulated (volunterily or involunterily). There art and nature can mix in, sometimes, unpredictable combinations. A fest for the eye, for sure.
At elevation of about 6700ft, the peruvian llamas seems content next to the Machu Picchu ruins. They are at home. A claim that we, as visitors cannot make.
Intersection of Castro and Market in San Francisco. The night always brings the city alive. The picture was taken from Twin Peaks, the hills right over Castro.
In Mission San Juan Bautista, close to Gilroy, CA, the old way the mission was running has been kept intact. The dwellings they way they were, the storage areas the way they were, the cartwheels in their place. It all creates an atmosphere unique to the place and time the mission was at its peak.
Chinese New Year’s in Taiwan. Everybody gathers to the temples in the first of the year to wish for good luck and fortune for the upcoming year. The area is packed and noisy, but the tradition is still strong, and you can feel the mysticism from thousands of years of worship and cultural inheritance.
Santorini always offers countless opportunities for picture taking. Amazing sunsets, amazing vistas, really a picture is worth a thousand words.
Pictures, and more pictures.
This webpage / weblog shows how I see the world from the view of my camera lens. A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. You have to find the right thousand words to describe a thought or emotion, similarly, you have to find the right combination of colors, shapes and content to evoke the right emotion using pictures.
Ideally, a picture requires no caption; it should describe itself. I must admit, though, that I have failed in that respect, and I am planning on adding captions, or some text with my pictures. I believe it helps in some cases.
If my pictures have managed to provoke strong thoughts or emotions, then my job as a photographer is a success.
Enjoy!!
