Cuestion de FE !

Architecture is a subject matter that has always attracted my attention since I was student, even though in Miami is kind of difficult to find different kind of genres into the architecture. This city is young so you may find Art Deco and even more modern structures, except a few churches around the city that become icons cause of their oldness and architecture per say. I have been since I started my studies in photography observing churches that has a different architecture, I mean Gothic from the Byzantine for example. I had the chance to chose a free topic at college and I chose churches. It was a mission but I got a few ones where the different type of architecture was obvious. I kept those at that time cause it was my first time creating an story line where the subject matter was the architecture in churches. After a few years I went to St. Augustine for vacations but I always get my equipment in case I find something interesting to shoot. When I get there I realize that even though the town was small it has churches everywhere and from different tendencies so I decided to shoot again churches since I love them. This time I tried to combine the exterior with some inside shoots cause of the lighting contrast.

A day at the river with a smartphone

I went last Saturday to the river that goes under the train line in the middle of the city and It really attracted my attention how well known is the area due to all the things left by humans and I found on my way there. I have to walk like a block next to the abandoned train line to get to the river. The area was isolated and I got a little scared at the first side but once my eyes started to look around all the things I can photograph , I left behind that fear. I did not carry my camera  but  I realized , I  had my smartphone with me so I decided to capture the photos with it as a new experience to my professional career. In that case, I did not have to set up the shutter speed or aperture cause these IPhones do everything, just shoot and point; so I did it. I got around 25 photos. I was so excited cause the trip was not in vain. Yesterday , I edited all the photos and that is when I realize the insufficient quality of the photos, the noise and the blurriness but as well I realize that why not upload them in my blog. It is a new and different experience and at the end I want to shoot and create a series and I got it; quick and simple with a smartphone.
On the photos I emphasize the graffiti, the rust of the metal rails, the water, the fauna  interacting with the trash left by humans. I realized since it is not my intention to show the "beauty of landscaping"(literally speaking) the blur and noisy view don't bother me at all. It is just to show the interaction of the humans behaviors with nature and how we alter even the structures with colorful gratifies and throwing garbage on the river.  One more time , I invite you to enjoy my adventurous day at the river!!!!
