Creando Lineas & Curvas

I am always fascinated with tree and the forms they create themselves. I love stand in front of trees and imagine a new form or silhouette. This time I was by Coral Gable area as well I went to Mount Dora last month and I really enjoy seeing a lot of old trees in the pintoresque town uptown Orlando.
I leave you with some of the photos I took.

Run Out Of Steam

A new experience with Old Trains which it was really enjoyable. It was a close encounter where I focused on the rust, the ugliness, the oldness, lines and geometry of the objects found.

Impressions of New York Architecture

In my recent trip to New York and my first one, I felt fascinated about its vast architecture.

Since New York is one of the thirteen colonies that make the city rich in history and culture so the architecture embellish it profoundly. Since I enjoy the element water, in some of the photos I show it to refresh the view of New York as well I added other elements like benches, fire stairs, train rails and doors. I leave you with some of the photos selected for this series. I am counting the days to go back again to this impressive city.

Holocaust Memorial visit

Through these pictures, I wanted to portray my viewpoint about this memorial dedicated to the Jews who suffered the Holocaust in the WW II. This horrible event of the world history has always affected sentimentally others due to the genocide committed by Nazis during the war invasions. With this slideshow, I want to keep alive the suffered faces and bodies made by the sculptor and architect Kenneth Treister who wanted to memorialize the victims. Also I portrayed different Jews symbols such as the star of David with the black letters "Jude" and areas also created by Treister such as the "Arbor of History", “The Sculpture of Love and Anguish", and "The Lonely Path" from where you can hear the voices of Israeli children singing songs dedicated to the Holocaust . Definitely, the visit to this memorial provokes mixed emotions such as sadness, hope, desperation, and anguish for the loss of those people.

Mini Series " What is Left"

What is left is the title for this mini-series where I took pictures in the Coral Castle in Miami, Florida. I just portrayed the vestiges of the man named Edward Leedskalnin who built this fabulous castle for his sweet sixteen love. Through my pictures, I wanted to show once again my attraction for the ugly and textured found objects used by this excellent architect. I played again with the magic of black and white, which emphasized the rough texture of the tools, and I combined it with some color antique appearance photographs, which give at the same time a monochromatic look to the ambiance.
