Dereliction
Too much prettiness in the SIJ. Time to get a little dirty. This is a derelict property very close to where we live. In its heyday it must have been a gorgeous piece of property.
Recinto Sur Street, Old San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Drove to Old San Juan for a slightly extended lunch break. This was shot from the parking garage across the street.
Guard house at Caguas Botanical Gardens. The night guard was actually quite perplexed at the sight of a guy wearing a tie (came straight from work) pulling a camera, tripod and flashlight in the darkness to take a photograph. Didn't dare asking him to pose for fear he would ask me to leave...
Zulma
Still feeling under the weather, so my wife suggested a portrait at home. Again, two Canon 580EXIIs fired from my Lumix G3 with an ST-E2 transmitter. Not insignificant amount of post processing.
El corillo de Caguas (The Crew from Caguas)
As I went on my nightly sojourn desperately looking for photo ops in the darkness, I came across this happy bunch. They were thrilled to pose.

El amor del gÃbaro II (The Peasant's Love II)
This is a photograph of a mural (graffitti?) in Caguas which I had photographed before, but during the daytime. I used a 15 second shutter speed and light painted over the woman with a flashlight while the shutter was open.

Once again, before I knew it, it was 7pm with no photo to show for the day. Rather than look for another night scene, I decided to show you the third member of the Ramirez household, my son Antonio.
The photo was lit using two Canon 580EXII flash units, stand mounted, one at camera left with...
The Girl Without Hands - After the Wedding
In early 2011, I did a series of four photos that I titled "La boda de la niña sin manos" (The Wedding of the Girl Without Hands). The photos were of an interesting looking wedding shop in Caguas. Unfortunately, the shop closed down, and...
This is what happens when all of a sudden, it's 7 o'clock and you have no shot for the day. Got into my car drove to Plaza Palmer and took several photographs of the Christmas decorations (which are still up and lit) and of the trees. I rather like this one, though.
