We tend to celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied ad multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography. These passions, like great winds, have blown us across the globe in search of the one and we do understand the one we do look for might be this picture right here for someone else out there.
“A concise poem about our work as stated elow
A place without being
a thought without thinking
creatively, two dimensions
suspended animation
possibly a perfect imitation
of what was then to see.
A frozen memory in synthetic colour
or black and white instead,
fantasy dreams in magazines
become imbedded inside my head.
Artistic views
surrealistic hues,
a photographer’s instinctive eye:
for he does as he pleases
up to that point he releases,
then develops a visual high.

My current mood: a mixed bag. Take your pick! Happy because it's springtime, blue due to the lockdown, appreciative of nature and the good things in life. If I were to photograph my current mood I'd have to take a different photo every minute! So, welcome in my head, hahaha.
Here's one of the paintings that I'm currently working on... a photorealistic acrylic painting of two yummy pink cupcakes! I've finished the icing on both of the cupcakes, and almost done with the sprinkles. My next step, after finishing the sprinkles, is to finish the 'cake' part of the cupcakes, and then to finish the paper cups, and then the shadows. The shadows are always the hardest part because it is so hard to blend 'wide' expanses of color in acrylics, due to their quick drying time. Therefore I work in a series of extremely-watered down glazes, so I have to wait for each layer to dry before I can add another one. I do the same technique for achieving the dimensional illusion in the rest of the painting, but the shadows are always more difficult because they are basically blobs. I find it much easier to handle nitpicky detail rather than nebulous, nearly-monochromatic blobs!
You can also see the tiny easel that I work on, as well as the photograph tucked behind the painting. This painting is 5" x 7", acrylic on wood panel.

Built in 1846, this adobe structure known as the Esquida/ Downs/ Dietrich house has had several additions and renovations. The house is currently the home of the Little Studio Gallery in La Villita , an art village in San Antonio, Texas. La Villita lies just off of San Antonio's famous Riverwalk on the south bank of the San Antonio River . The village was one of San Antonio's first neighborhoods. Originally a settlement of primitive huts for the Spanish soldiers stationed at the Mission San Antonio de Valero (the Alamo). The village became more permanent after the Flood of 1819 when brick, stone and adobe houses replaced the earlier structures. By 1836, La Villita was a village of considerable size. That year it was the site of General Santa Ana's cannon line during the Battle of the Alamo. Santa Ana and the federal Mexican Forces defeated the Texan rebels at the Alamo but went on to lose the war at the Battle of San Jacinto near Houston and San Antonio became one of the prominent cities in then independent Texas. In December, 1845 Texas joined the United States. By late in the 19th century, European immigrants from Germany and France moved into San Antonio and the LaVillita neighborhood.. These pioneers became San Antonio's business leaders, bankers, educators, and craftsmen. The cultural mix that occurred is best illustrated by the variety of architectural styles reflected in La Villita's buildings. The architecture portrays the evolution of buildings from palisado to Victorian Houses.The first part of the 20th century saw La Villita decline into a slum area. But in 1939 the city broke ground on the San Antonio River Walk development. As part of that development, city fathers led by Mayor Maury Maverick acted to preserve LaVillita. Today La Villita is a thriving art community and a little piece of San Antonio history preserved for all to enjoy.La Villita is listed on the National Register of Historic Districts.

alguma da "tralha" que carrego comigo na mochila ;)
faltam ainda a Nikon D50 e a objectiva Nikon Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6, usadas para tirar a foto.
strobist info: os dois flash's da foto foram disparados, reflectindo na parede atrás da mesa, para queimar o fundo e não se notar a transição mesa-parede.
foi usado um 3º flash, cobra 440AF, á direita, ligeiramente acima da mesa, apontado directamente aos objectos. disparado por Cactus V2s a full-power (também, este flash não tem regulação, lol)

Some of the stuff I carry on my backpack;)
missing the camera, Nikon D50, and the Nikkor AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 used to take the photo.
strobist info: both flash's on the photo were fired remotly, bouncing ont the white wall behind the table, in order to "burn" the background, so that the transition table-wall was so smooth, that you actually can't see it ;)
a 3rd flash was used, Cobra 440AF, fired by Cactus V2s, camera right, slightly above the table, directed to the objects
I thought the AM90 was the best shoe ever. It took two years after the Current was released until I got me some. They are the BOMB! The sliced front sole is amazing, I have never felt a sneaker respond so well to the movements of your foot. The problem with AM90 slipage in wet weather is gone! Grippy'er soles than a super tacky Maxis.
Go Leyva and Anthony Hope you just made the best way better!
I found this little girl in the alley January 3rd. Am actively searching for her owner. Hope she has one. Looks like she's a pit mix. What do you think, Eileen?
We also have had an ongoing problem with the low life creeps that kidnap dogs and use them for bait in pitbull fights. It's terrible. No small dog is safe---even in your own back yard. I knew i couldn't leave her outside.
Her paws are not very big and her little claws are still pink. Every stray dog in this area is part pit. It's amazing. Chihuapit?

AIS Vessel Type: Pilot Vessel
A pilot boat is a type of boat used to transport maritime pilots between land and the inbound or outbound ships that they are piloting.
History
The word pilot probably came from Middle French pilot, pillot, from Italian piloto, from Late Latin pillottus; perhaps ultimately from Ancient Greek πηδόν (pēdón, "blade of an oar, oar").
However, the work functions of the maritime pilot go back to Ancient Greece and Roman times, when incoming ships' captains employed locally experienced harbour captains, mainly local fishermen, to bring their vessels safely into port. Eventually, in light of the need to regulate the act of pilotage and ensure pilots had adequate insurance, the harbours themselves licensed pilots for each harbour.
Although licensed by the harbour to operate within their jurisdiction, pilots were generally self-employed, meaning that they had to have quick transport to get them from the port to the incoming ships. As pilots were often still dual-employed, they used their own fishing boats to reach the incoming vessels. But fishing boats were heavy working boats, and filled with fishing equipment, and so a new type of boat was required.
Early boats were developed from single masted cutters and twin masted yawls, and latterly into the specialist pilot cutter. These were effectively light-weight and over-powered single-masted boats with large, steeply angled keels, making them deep draft under power and shallow draft in lighter sail.
If legend is to be believed, the first official Bristol Channel pilot was barge master George James Ray, appointed by the Corporation of Bristol in May 1497 to pilot John Cabot's Matthew from Bristol harbour to the open sea beyond the Bristol channel. In 1837 Pilot George Ray guided Brunel's SS Great Western, and in 1844 William Ray piloted the larger SS Great Britain on her maiden voyage.
Some of the New York harbor Sandy Hook pilot boats were the Elwood Walter, No. 7, Pet, No. 9, the '"America, No. 21", and the William Bell, No. 24.
Today
Modern pilot boats can be from 7 metres to over 25 metres in length, built to withstand heavy seas and bumping against 100,000 ton tanker ships. They are high-powered and hence both very quick and durable purpose-built boats. They are normally painted a highly visible colour such as orange, red or yellow.
In terms of design, monohull hullforms are most commonly used, though examples of catamarans, SWATHs and Wave Piercing Hulls also exist. Although some pilot boats are still constructed from steel, the need to travel quickly means lighter weight materials such as aluminium, fibreglass and composites are now commonly used. In some instances, such as the Berkeley Class vessels produced in Australia, a combination of materials is used.
Pilot boats are specially marked to make it clear what their function is. During the day they fly the "H" flag and normally the word PILOT(s) is written in clearly visible, large, letters on the sides.
At night they have special navigation lights: in addition to the "normal" navigation lights,[6] a pilot boat has a white round light at top and below that a red round light, while a fishing vessel has the red light at top and the white light below.
To remember this, some people use the mnemonic "white cap, red nose" to reflect the idea that pilots consumed a lot of alcohol while waiting for ships, thus the white captain's cap with a red nose below it.
Pilot boats often also use bright colors, like flashy yellow, to make them clearly visible and distinctive in even the worst conditions. This last mainly applies to the so-called pilot tenders: the vessels that go to the ships to bring the pilot on board of arriving ships or pick them up from departing ships. Depending on the local situation the tenders might be launched directly from a nearby harbour or they are coming from the central (large) pilot station: a pilot boat located at a pre-defined location at sea near a pilotage area. In earlier days nearly all pilots came from a "pilot station" at sea, but with the modern very fast tenders it is often more practical not to have a permanently manned pilot station at sea, but transfer the pilots directly to/from shore.

Tenerife. Puerto de la Cruz.
The Risco Bello Aquatic Gardens
The right of the main facade of the Hotel Taoro is one of the most beautiful gardens of Puerto de la Cruz . The current Risco Bello has two farms purchased by D. René de Radiguès in 1969 and 1974 respectively. The first, which belonged to the family of Peter and Magdalena Fernández Ritzen , Risco Bello was the House , which includes the eastern part of the current garden. This family house built on lava and basalt, devoting part of the farm to banana cultivation . The second , called the Caledonia House , belonged to the Reid family , English family owns an import-export business . Located in the western part of the current garden, nearest to Hotel Taoro , consisted of a British colonial style house with over sixty years of history. It was in this building it and Reid had introduced some specimens of flowers and exotic plants.
The Belgian couple arrived in Tenerife in search of the beloved climate that benefits the health of Anna Maria , wife of Rene , who came to recover fully from their disease. René design the garden as an act of love for her , working up to eighty years in restoring homes and the creation of the garden, which later transformed into water due to water supply problems of the time. It generated a real microclimate able to feed themselves .
After eighteen years at Tenerife, in gratitude for the happiness you gave them the island , they decided to share with the world the beauty of this little paradise , opening to the public in 1988.
The farm , about two acres , is divided into five terraces , from which a privileged view over the Orotava Valley and much of the north coast is appreciated , and can even be spotted in days of prosperity the island of La Palma.
This garden has a collection of five hundred exotic , tropical and subtropical plants, which are increasing day by day thanks to the collaboration of collectors family friends . It is now anticipated that about a hundred new specimens unknown on the island are incorporated.
In the five terraces, of different styles, water treatment is combined with lush vegetation , giving appointment suspension bridges , waterfalls , caves and fountains, creating an environment of genuine dream .
The first of the terraces introduces visitors to a tranquil garden with a pergola in the center and a water fountain inside. The first of the lakes , next to a lovely terrace - café, and gives an idea of beauty that hide these gardens. At a second level access the second of them , the largest , where we can enjoy an extensive collection of exotic fruit trees and a scenic bridge over the lake. Bordering the pond crossed a cave over which falls a waterfall that feeds the lake.
The third , planted with acacias , mimosas and palm trees, is decorated with rustic pools . Then we access the most personal of the terraces. Riddled with huge jars in and out of the pond, impresses with its profuse aquatic vegetation which include water lilies and papyrus . In the last garden sticking her Japanese-inspired bridge half hidden in thick vegetation .
Throughout the tour, ducks, geese , pigeons and geese enjoy mingling with visitors.
Usually described as a small corner of paradise , or aquatic as authentic poetry, also César Manrique, a family friend , was fascinated by the beauty of these gardens , described by him as " Symphony in Green " . One of its current owners , Bernadette of Radiguès , remember the words spoken by his father praising Manrique its work to respect the natural environment : "I am the artist of white , gray , blue and black colors To you I give the prize. the green gardens of Canary

This is the current president of the International Costumers Guild in his creation for the Saturday Night masquerade. He had a theme and he went all out for it! (found out from other attendees that he is dress up as a "mer-man ornament" which makes a lot of sense now)
Costume Con 40 did something new regarding photos of the contestants. Instead of parading them through a "green room". with a neutral backdrop for photographers to take better photos of them, they instead brought up the contestants up on stage and let the photographers take photos of them with the stage lights. It was a bit different but I really liked this and hope other contests do the same in the future.
Hereford Cathedral, in Hereford Herefordshire. The current Hereford Cathedral dates from 1079 and is a Grade I listed building. Its most famous treasure is Mappa Mundi, a mediaeval map of the world dating from the 13th century.
The cathedral is dedicated to two patron saints, namely Saint Mary the Virgin and Saint Ethelbert the King. The latter was beheaded by Offa, King of Mercia in the year 792. Offa had consented to give his daughter to Ethelbert in marriage: why he changed his mind and deprived him of his head historians do not know, although tradition is at no loss to supply him with an adequate motive. The execution, or murder, is said to have taken place at Sutton, four miles (6 km) from Hereford, with Ethelbert's body brought to the site of the modern cathedral by 'a pious monk'. At Ethelbert's tomb miracles were said to have occurred, and in the next century (about 830) Milfrid, a Mercian nobleman, was so moved by the tales of these marvels as to rebuild in stone the little church which stood there, and to dedicate it to the sainted king.
Before this, Hereford had become the seat of a bishopric. It is said to have been the centre of a diocese as early as the 6th century. In the 7th century the cathedral was refounded by Putta, who settled here when driven from Rochester by Æthelred of Mercia. The cathedral of stone, which Milfrid raised, stood for some 200 years, and then, in the reign of Edward the Confessor, it was altered. The new church had only a short life, for it was plundered and burnt in 1056 by a combined force of Welsh and Irish under Gruffydd ap Llywelyn, the Welsh prince; it was not, however, destroyed until its custodians had offered vigorous resistance, in which seven of the canons were killed.
Hereford Cathedral remained in a state of ruin until Robert of Lorraine was consecrated to the see (made Bishop) in 1079 and undertook its reconstruction. His work was carried on, or, more probably, redone, by Bishop Reynelm, who was next but one in the succession, and reorganised the college of secular canons attached to the cathedral. Reynelm died in 1115, and it was only under his third successor, Robert de Betun, who was Bishop from 1131 to 1148, that the church was brought to completion.
Of this Norman church, little has survived but the choir up to the spring of the clerestory, the south transept, the arch between the north transept and the choir aisle, and the nave arcade. Scarcely 50 years after its completion William de Vere, who occupied the see from 1186 to 1199, altered the east end by constructing a retro-choir or processional path and a Lady Chapel; the latter was rebuilt not long afterwards—between the years 1226 and 1246, during the Early English style—with a crypt beneath. Around the middle of the century the clerestory, and probably the vaulting of the choir, were rebuilt, having been damaged by the settling of the central tower. Under Bishop Aquablanca (1240–68), one of Henry III's foreign favourites, the rebuilding of the north transept was begun, being completed later in the same century by Bishop Swinfield, who also built the aisles of the nave and eastern transept.
The Dodge Viper SRT (formerly the SRT Viper between 2012 and 2014) is a sports car, manufactured by the Dodge (SRT for 2013 and 2014) division of Fiat Chrysler. Production of the two-seat sports car began at New Mack Assembly in 1991 and moved to its current home at Conner Avenue Assembly in October 1995.
Although Chrysler considered ending production because of financial problems, chief executive Sergio Marchionne announced and showed on September 14, 2010 a new model of the Viper for 2012. In 2014 the Viper was named number 10 on the "Most American Cars" list, meaning 75% or more of its parts are manufactured in the U.S. The Viper was initially conceived in late 1988 at Chrysler's Advanced Design Studios. The following February, Chrysler president Bob Lutz suggested to Tom Gale at Chrysler Design that the company should consider producing a modern Cobra, and a clay model was presented to Lutz a few months later. Produced in sheet metal by Metalcrafters, the car appeared as a concept at the North American International Auto Show in 1989. Public reaction was so enthusiastic that chief engineer Roy Sjoberg was directed to develop it as a standard production vehicle.
Sjoberg selected 85 engineers to be "Team Viper," with development beginning in March 1989. The team asked the then-Chrysler subsidiary Lamborghini to cast a prototype aluminum block for the sports car to use in May. The production body was completed in the fall, with a chassis prototype running in December. Though a V8 engine was first used in the test mule, the V10, which the production car was meant to use, was ready in February 1990. Official approval from Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca came in May 1990. One year later, Carroll Shelby piloted a pre-production car as the pace vehicle in the Indianapolis 500 race. In November 1991, the car was released to reviewers with first retail shipments beginning in January 1992.
The first prototype was tested in January 1989. It debuted in 1991 with two pre-production models as the pace car for the Indianapolis 500 when Dodge was forced to substitute it in place of the Japanese-built Dodge Stealth because of complaints from the United Auto Workers, and went on sale in January 1992 as the RT/10 Roadster.
The centerpiece of the car was its engine. The Lamborghini Company, then owned by Chrysler Corporation, designed the V10 for the Viper by recasting the block and heads in an aluminum alloy, and was based off Chrysler's V8 engine. A major contributor to the Viper since the beginning was Dick Winkles, the chief power engineer, who had spent a lot of time in Italy.
The engine weighs 711 lb (323 kg) and produces 400 bhp (300 kW) at 4600 rpm and 465 lb·ft (630 N·m) at 3600 rpm, and thanks to the long-gearing allowed by the engine, provides fuel economy at a United States Environmental Protection Agency-rated 12 mpg-US (20 L/100 km; 14 mpg-imp) city and 20 mpg-US (12 L/100 km; 24 mpg-imp) highway. The body is a tubular steel frame with resin transfer molding (RTM) fiberglass panels. It has a curb weight of 3,284 lb (1,490 kg) and lacks all modern driver aids such as traction control and anti-lock brakes. It completes a quarter mile (402 m) in 12.6 seconds and has a maximum speed of over 150 mph (240 km/h). Its large tires allow the car to average close to one lateral g in corners, placing it among the elite cars of its day. However, the car proves tricky to drive at high speeds, particularly for the unskilled.
The car is spartan, although it features inflatable lumbar support and adjustable seats. Along with the absence of exterior door handles, the vehicle lacks side windows and a roof. Although a soft top cover was available, it was designed primarily for indoor vehicle storage. Side curtains of fabric and clear plastic operated by zippers can be inserted into the door and hand-bolted when needed. All of these decisions were made to reduce weight. The battery is located in the sealed compartment over the rear wheels to increase rear-end weight and traction. The car shipped with a tonneau cover and video tape on soft-top assembly (the soft top is removable and folds to fit in the trunk). In 1994 the car came, for the first time since release with several options available to the buyer. These included air conditioning, adjustable suspension, larger diameter wheels to accommodate larger brakes, and a fiberglass hardtop for the roof.

Self and a Sialia Sculpture, 2019.
From The Sialia Marbles, my first solo show which is currently running at MMX Gallery until February 2020.
The Sialia Marbles contains over 40 original hand coloured prints, which together create an anthology of fractured tales inspired by the scared energy of traditional sculpture halls. A wing of my own Le Musee Imaginaire, an idea initially proposed by Andre Malraux, which can be defined as, 'the personal or cultural mental storehouse of images of the noblest works of art’ (Haley, 2002). These tableau's are cast in a form of fictional rigor mortis, through the symbolic reference to the weight and endurance of marble sculpture.
