Still can't believe you are gone from this world, Hamlet. Keep looking for you in all your favorite spots and missing you so much at night when you used to wait for us to let you under the covers so you could go to bed. It has been a relief to be so busy with my new job but no matter how busy I am, I still look for you everywhere.
I’m missing Bogota, my city, the chaotic but perfect birthplace. It’s cold, usually rain, the traffic is hopeless and there is some insecurity, but still perfect. This picture was taken there, in Bogota, where the buses are green or white, the taxis are yellow, and the motorcicles dodged the previous two. The ground has fallen leaves even when there is not fall.
Abstract photography doesn’t represent the subject in a literal way and communicates primarly through form, color, and curves rather than image detail. Having said that, abstract photography communicates to the viewer primarily through the viewer’s emotions. Abstract photography can work very much with the human perceptual, mental, and emotional systems.
The essential effect in my image is the selective focus, and I had to use a large aperture to get a depth of field. The foreground and the background material are blurred; I’m focusing the texture, because it must be one of the most dominant characteristics of the subject matter. In my photograph, is remarkable the use of texture of the pavement, the grass and some of the leaves. Texture and lines usually are together and must work in harmony.
Acording to the Abstract shoot tips and the theory of eye movement given by “Composition” slide show, the use of lines is important, but is better if that lines are leading and given by creative and interesting elements. In my composition I’m using many lines, but the leading line has the grass as a creative element. This line is also giving perspective and a diagonal eye movement that means a dynamic and energetic composition.
This is a Low angel shoot, because I had to get the angle of the floor to catch the texture and the level of the leaves on the grass, and the camera is lower than the subject of the picture. This is also a Close- up shot, because the subject of the picture is the only material in the picture. Here is not other material to define the subject.
Abstract photography could be easier than landscape photograph, because you can find that in your home, or wherever you are. In this case this picture was taken in a street of Bogotá, near to my University, without any complication or planning more than the use of depth of field.
Scan of a series of 5 hand-printed photos.
As a theme for the series I sought for images in which there was a feeling of absence: 'Missing'
The series was made for my photography classes at the UNSW - College of Fine Arts in Sydney, Australia (semester 1 2004)
Many of the Honduran and Lenca children end up losing permanent teeth because of various reasons - poor diet, lack of oral hygiene and too many carbonated drinks. Cows are too expensive and most of the time, among the Lenca communities, there is no electricity/refrigeration so the neighborhood pulperias (home based convenience stores) cannot carry milk to sell.

Concrete - Missing Jammu Kashmir already. We were leaving those snow covered peaks behind and riding in Himachal Pradesh. It was already clear that 'civilization' was creeping in on us.
