Random Trinkets from Punta Cana
Close to the end of the vacation, some of the locals were allowed to set up shop inside the hotel. Despite being a Caribbean country, all the goods there were worth an arm and a leg. Just a couple of trinkets were worth 110 bucks. This country uses the barter economy. You must be ready to bargain in order to get something that resembles a good deal. I bought a little Virgin Mary figurine made of stone. It looked completely different from everything else being sold there. My mother bought a cross made of red coral. The coral is an...
Inside the Pool
This is another one of my underwater photos. It has plenty of bubbles and the like. I am always interested in taking photos of underwater. Mostly, I am interested because I like to draw. Doing proper underwater effects is hard to manage. I prefer to draw from life in that department. As far as this medium is concerned, there is not a lot of online references for water. Most of the time, these water photos are fake. I think the reason for that is that very few people know how to swim. Most people with artsy tendencies have the bad...
Green Adoration in Cancun
Don't you hate it sometimes when you forget how to do something? This happened to me while I was staying at this hotel. I wanted to try the different color isolations, but I forgot how to do it. I spent like half a day fiddling with all the settings of the camera, till I got it right. This is the result of my experiment. I call it Green Adoration. Why I called it so? I don't know. It sounded catchy and a bit humoring. There is a lot of green around the goddess statue, so it seemed proper. The green...
I am Back from Punta Cana
For the past week, I have been in Punta Cana. I did not have any time to work on the website. I offer my sincere apology for leaving you folks without any prior notice. Then again, I am not one to inform people of my parting, only of my return. If people know you are not home, they are prone to visit and steal your mail. I do have a weakness for ordering a bunch of stuff online. The most recent of the lot was a couple of dresses for Dollchan. The next photos of the new products will show...
Flying! Flying!
This is a nice little photo I took inside the plane. I left the plane wing on the shot, so you will realize that I am flying. There are not a lot of flying photos on line, and that is sad. The photo was taken while leaving Mexico. It is rare that there is a good view while flying on a plane. Most of the couple of times I have been in one, it has been really cloudy or at night. I am not a big fan of flying. I always get terrible motion sickness and the sounds of the...
