Sand, Surf, Margaritas and Pyramids: A Zihuatanejo Vacation
My hair puffed out in seconds with the humidity of the air. Oh how I’ve missed that kind of air. From the bus that took us to the hotel I could see hundreds of mango trees packed with fruit and no shortage of tall palm trees carrying coconuts. It was a nice tropical welcome. We […]
Cozy Mushroom Casserole For Cold Days
Seems like winter didn’t want to leave un-noticed and decided to stay for part of spring. My wool sweaters finally made it out of the closet and it feels nice to snuggle in them. I was actually missing the cold weather…I cannot believe I just said that…but it is true. I like going back to […]
Free “Rusty” Texture Set
Hands up if you love a free texture to add an extra layer to your images! Yep, I’m one of those people. And now it’s me the one creating a free texture set of images. I figure I need to keep good karma rolling. Adding a layer of texture after the composite is all done […]
Santa Barbara Botanic Garden Meadow
I arrived to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden when the light was just sneaking in, adding color to a million flowers. The birds and bugs started to wake up slowly. I was the only one there with it all. I was there at the crack of dawn to photograph the meadow while in full bloom. […]
Writing An Artist Statement? This can help
There I was, walking down the stairs of the San Diego Arts Institute followed by my echoing steps. There were only five people in the room, one of them was Ginger Shulick Porcella (director and curator at SDAI), and she was the one giving the workshop. It was no surprise that we were so few, after […]
Chocolate Energy Bar- No Sugar Added!
I might have too many passions. One of them is cooking and eating. I count them as one because you can not have one without the other. Perhaps, I should actually say eating and cooking because my eating passion comes first. I love recipes that taste delicious and are also healthy. No sugar added chocolate power […]
A Very Short Winter : Flagstaff Weekend
After seven and a half hours of driving in the dark, we arrived. We were still dressed like Southern Californians when we stepped out into the night air. The cold quickly reminded us what winter really feels like. Stephanie had a big smile on her face when she saw Alex and I, despite the fact […]
Colors, shapes and textures of Colonia del Sacramento
One more holiday season passed by being back home, my lifelong home, Uruguay. One month can seem like a long time but it goes super fast when you fill it up with family, friends, 80 degree weather, long lasting days, and countless reasons to celebrate once the sun goes down. This year some of my […]
Fellow retoucher, beware…
It started with a tingling sensation on the fingers of my right hand. After, I can’t remember how many weeks, there was a bothersome sensation on top of my wrist. Then the sensation took my forearm, and a little bump emerged on top of my hand. The doctor told me I had tendonitis and that […]
Keep Practicing : Mindfulness Screensaver Reminder
Everything Started, two months ago in a room full of strangers with an invitation to cultivate some basic human qualities: calm, balance, care, love and compassion. These traits are inherent to us, but we need to bring some awareness upon them so that they can become stronger and more prevalent. This is part of what […]
