Helsinki Part II
My trip to Finland seems so long ago, and yet not even three months have passed. The general consensus of the fins is that visiting Helsinki, or any other part of the country during rainy and freezing November, is crazy, but I really enjoyed the city despite the harsh weather. My sister has been living […]
New Year’s Reflection
We’ve arrived! It’s 2017. The arduous twelve month journey through last year is over. This, is another year, a brand new one. With the anticipation and excitement of a new beginning we reflect on what’s behind and gain strength for what’s ahead. Some might have a clear windy road, others a foggy mountain to climb […]
November In Helsinki
My usual modus operandi to photography goes this way: think ahead, sketch, write down, plan it out, gather, lay out…and then click. While travelling, my creative process is completely different. The click comes much faster with no pre-production. The fast trigger gives me a sense of relief, even freedom, from a more structured and planned […]
Fail and Keep Going
I still don’t like this image. I won’t include it in my portfolio. And yes, I would really like if it had never happened. But It did and it is ok. These are my feelings about this image. This piece or better said this “failed image” was supposed to be part of “The Secret Garden” […]
The Art Classic: Oasis
The Milliards Sheets Art Center has been displaying fine art in the LA county since 1937. This year, I was thrilled to be accepted to their annual exhibition The Art Classics along with various artists from the Los Angeles Arts Association. The show was curated by Thomas Canavan who decided to set the theme: Oasis . Considering […]
An Open Story
This time last year, I was walking through my back then neighborhood with a not mine dog, when I noticed a purple/pink spot hanging from a vine crawling on the neighbors wall. I’ve seen that flower before, many times. I’ve also seen it’s red version, white version and another purple/blue version. Every time I see […]
Back Home Reflections
After moving to the US five years ago I am lucky to say I go back to Uruguay for a month or so, every year. Throughout the years my relationship with the place has changed by the inevitable distance. Time became more precious. Meetings, a trip to the past. The city, a place to rediscover. The […]
Eclectic Beauty In Santa Ana
The summer is gone and so is my time in Orange County. One of the things that marked this time period were the periodical photowalks or photo meetings with my dear Nathalie. To mark the end of this time we spent a full day strolling downtown Santa Ana. From main streets, to alleys & parking […]
Day Of The Dead in Tijuana
I still remember visiting the family graveyard as a child on November 2nd to clean up graves and leave fresh flowers for the ones already gone. Celebrating the dead ones was for me something sweet but very sober and with no major preparations. In Mexico, it is a different story. It is believed that at […]
Two Dorks in Hip LA: Out and around Silverlake
My favorite yerba mate blend had been sitting in a hotel lobby in Hollywood for almost a week. The drive to go get it from Laguna Beach was three hours round trip. To justify the drive, I invited Nathalie to join me and made a day out of it. By 10:30 our yerba mate mission was […]
