Arrangement of Photos
There really isn't much to say about the format of photos. There is many ways to get it together. The real issue people have to work with is people. Photographers always have a hard time getting their sitters in an artsy form, that doesn't look fake. I tend to avoid it by photographing people in public spaces. Since they are there, I am in my full right to photograph them. So, if you do not want to be photographed avoid such places. For more serious stuff, you have to be kind to your sitter. This is best shown by the...
Much ado about your camera
Most people do not understand how their tiny cameras work. A good number of them have a manual mode. They work well for specifics and more key projects and the like. The first thing you can control is the aperture. You can control it by raising up and down the F. The f and the number that follows it refers to the size of the lenses. The lower the value the large the hole. This makes the image brighter, but it sacrifices focus. The higher the value, the darker the image. It also makes it a lot more focused. Think...
Photographing the Photographers
Miami Beach has a lot of public beaches. My teacher told me that if you are in a public spot, it is ok to take as many photos as you like.

I always find it amusing to take photos of them. They are so focus on their work that they do not notice me taking their picture. Talk about flipping...
Much Ado About Channeling
The painting is another blue isolation of mine. The original work had a lot more colors. I was just playing around with the settings of the camera. The original painting can be found in Bahia Principe in Punta Cana. Well, it is more of a framed mural. It makes it a lot harder for people to steal the painting. Mostly, because the painting is fussed with the wall. So, I guess it is like a fresco or something like it. This has nothing to do with my general frame of mind at the moment. I just came from the bank...
Watercolor Front Cover I Painted
Recently, I made this cute front cover for one of my books. I painted it with watercolor and the lines were done with ink. The ink I chose came from my Sakura Pigma Micron watercolor pens. As for the Watercolors, they came from US art supply. The scene shows my protagonist dancing. The columns are from the castle. It took me about two days to complete the painting. I used to do a bit of Watercolor in High School. It is interesting to revisit a skill you have not used in decades. It is good to see that I still...
