lumix

Time Still feeling lousy, so I figured I would take care of today's shot early and put it out of mind. Shot through a Canon TX body and 50mm 1.8nFD.

Like many at the Northern Hemisphere winter is playing tricks with lots of rain and moderate temperatures. Best way to escape and to stay dry is to travel by car.

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.

Feeling very much under the weather, this is all I can do without getting out of bed.

This week I learned that life can be full of obstruction, but thankfully also possibilities. I was finally able to caught up with posting my daily photographs.

After the disappointment of the day before I am trying to find out how I can bend my feelings into something creative. This is me....

I have had back pain problems for so long and had several pain treatments. I had high hopes a surgery could ease the pain, but on Wednesday I learned a surgery made no sense. I simply have to life and not to deal with it.

With the days counting worries set in again. Life is sometimes like a roller coaster.

After the hope of the previous week and the worries and pain of last weekend, all we need is a bit of love.

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. A very long exposure and another bit of light painting.

Former headquarters of the Caguas Masonic Lodge, Caguas, Puerto Rico.

El Rubí 1934 Neighborhood watering hole in Caguas, Puerto Rico. Sign claims it has been there since 1934 and I believe it.

El amor del gíbaro 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.

Bug, Beetle, or Type 1. Playing with toys.

We need connections to move, like I need the weekends to connect the week days.

Puerto Rican painter, sculptor and performance artist Oscar Mestey-Villamil As I may have mentioned before, I do some pro bono photography work for the Puerto Rico Museum of Contemporary Art. Mr. Mestey-Villamil has an exhibit that is opening at the Museum on the last week in January. I...

After a busy week and pitching an entire day on new thoughts and ideas, I used the Saturday for some portraits and working on my last year's portfolio.

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...

Now I am moving in a direction and light appears on the horizon.

A seen I have been seeing the entire week, but tonight the light was like I wanted to see it.

The Musician and His Crowd Street musician playing for a small crowd in Old San Juan.

The direction, this road, goes straight ahead. The fog of the day before disappeared and a small hill can be seen at the horizon. These are merely the Dutch Mountains.

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...

It kinda felt like a transition day. Things are changing, hopefully in a positive direction. Finally on the move again and I am taking control.

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.

Today was hardly different from today. Everything grey and I needed the toning. Strange however what we leave behind, no matter what.

Grey skies and nothing really happening except accidentally dropping my iPhone 3G while walking the dog. Thankfully only the glass was broken. With gasoline prices as high as €1.69/liter you don't want to drive such V8 powered cars, don't you?

2012 started with stormy weather. While the days are still predominantly dark there are thankfully the first signs of a bit more light.

Today felt like a day where I had to tie up the loose ends. Dealing with pain and disappointment.

My son turned 11 today. Totally excited and happy with his presents.

The modern ICE train from Germany passes by at 120 km/h, while the traveler is reminded of an exhibition of the Jewish history. Today was an in-between day. Storm hit the Netherlands the day before and another storm is predicted for the next day. It was a quick stroll today.

Today the weather turned nasty with gale force winds and lots of rain. I got cold and wet on my commute back home.

In my hometown, a typical commuter place, I consider the local train station to be best place for street photography. Anywhere else people are just to aware of your presence. The station has a very sober architecture and while it is usually a quite busy place, it is also a location that...

This is actually the last photograph of my first photograph a day project I started on January 2 in 2011. The first roll of 365 photographs. It was January 1 early morning that I read stillshunter's post with the challenge of "Shoot safeties!" I took this photograph of my son during...
