Explored!
Week 41/52
This shot has been a long time in the making. It was requested by a friend of mine, Mateus, when I first started this project. He wanted me to recreate this sculpture, by my life-long obsession Gian Lorenzo Bernini. I never found the right time to do it, but this week I felt this urge to take the shot. I was already buying the fabric when I realized that tomorrow is actually October 15 — Saint Teresa of Avila's day. So it's either a nice trick my brain did there or a coincidence, but a happy one.
Teresa of Avila is my favorite saint. She's the one I pray to every time things go wrong, she's the one I turn to when I'm sure I can't do this or that, or face a problem or a situation. She's the one whose words I look to, for guidance — so this homage was bound to happen sooner or later.
She was an unbelievably strong woman — the first to be named a Doctor of the Church. Practically alone, she reformed the Carmelites in Spain, turned an order that was loosing itself in the mundane world, into a place of prayer and contemplation. She fought hard for what she wanted, and never seized to work until the day that she died. Her writings (especially her words on her ectsasies) are inspiring to read.
Of course, there's something to be said about the fact that I am representing the angel as well as Saint Teresa in the shot — this came merely out of necessity. I didn't have time to get a kid (even my sister) to do it with me, so I had to do it myself. I understand that for someone who looks into a deeper meaning in this, it might come across as strange, when Teresa of Avila so deeply enjoyed talking about letting go of ourselves and giving our lives to others (and here I am, twice in one shot). But that was the only way the shot could happen, so it had to be this way. Just forget I'm the angel as well. :p
So there's not much more I can say about this shot, other than to leave you with some of my favorite words of hers.
"Be gentle to all, and stern with yourself."
"There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers."
"To have courage for whatever comes in life -- everything lies in that."

On a completely different topic, I've been thinking about reopening my Etsy shop. Do you guys think I should? I've been getting some requests for prints, and I'd sure like to make some money with my work. But at the same time… i don't know. Do you guys think I should?
[Note (January 2015): The window and the arrow were found during a google search. I'm not sure if they are protected by copyright — at the time when I did this, I wasn't completely aware of copyright policy and I did it innocently — but it doesn't take from the fact that I used stock imagery. I've tried back search and other ways of tracking, but I haven't come up with these photos. Either way, if someone knows the author of the window or of the arrow, and can direct me to them, I'll be really grateful. And to the authors of these photos: I sincerely apologize, and I hope that if you ever come across this photo and see your work, you let me know so that I can properly credit you, or take it down. Thank you.]

Lord,make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury,pardon ; Where there is doubt,faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness,light; Where there is sadness,joy. O divine Master,grant that i may not so much seek To be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; It is in dying to self that we are born to everlasting life. Prayer attributed to St Francis of Assisi

The new season has started at the great Philharmonie of Luxembourg and I'm again doing one of my favourite things in photography. One of the novelties this year is the new conductor for the Philharmonic Orchestra of Luxembourg (OPL). Gustavo Gimeno and the orchestra offered an impressive performance that reached moments of ecstasy.
Ha comenzado la nueva temporada en la gran Philharmonie de Luxemburgo y vuelvo a trabajar en una de las facetas de la fotografía que más me gustan. Una de las novedades de este año es la incorporación del nuevo director musical de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Luxemburgo (OPL). El español Gustavo Gimeno y la orquesta nos ofrecieron un espectáculo grandioso que llegó a momentos de éxtasis.
Prints, workshops and more
I came across this image in my archives. Taken 13 years ago at the National Motor Museum, Beaulieu, Hampshire, UK.
It is high contrast/ISO which is not my usual go-to presentation - but I feel that it sits well with the monochrome.
Many will recognise this as the iconic bonnet mascot for Rolls-Royce cars. If memory serves, this was atop the bonnet of the 1909 Silver Ghost.
Spirit of Ecstasy is also known as Eleanor, Silver Lady and Flying Lady. Designed by English sculptor Charles Robinson Sykes.
I learned that when John, 2nd Baron Montagu commissioned his friend to sculpt a personal mascot for the bonnet of his 1909 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, Sykes chose Eleanor Velasco Thornton as his model.
The mascot stands 82 cm in height. All were silver-plated until 1914 and most now are made from stainless-steel, although silver and gold statuettes can still be ordered.

And you taught me what
this feels like.
And then how it feels to
lose it.
And you showed me
who I wanted.
And then who I wasn’t.
And you ticked every
box.
And then drew a line.
And you weren’t mine to
begin with.
And then not to end
with.
And you looked like
everything I wanted.
And then became
something I hated.
And you get thought of
every day.
And then not in a good
way.
And you let me leave.
And then wish I’d
stayed.
And you almost killed
me.
But I didn't die.

The Spirit of Ecstasy is the bonnet ornament sculpture on Rolls-Royce cars. It is in the form of a woman leaning forwards with her arms outstretched behind and above her. Billowing cloth runs from her arms to her back, resembling wings.
Fiesta brava series : Mastro J.J. Padilla "El PIRATA"
On Oct. 8, 2011a bull's horn ripped into Juan Jose Padilla's lower jaw and caused his left eyeball to protrude as spectators screamed in horror. Padilla was seen getting up shouting, "I can't see, I can't see anything," his face gushing blood as assistants distracted the bull.
Now, wearing an eye patch and speaking with a lisp, Padilla fulfilled what he describes as an unquenchable desire to once again face massive 1,100-pound (500-kilogram) fighting bulls with the aid of only a cape and sword.
