“In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.”
~ Marc Chagall

“Life is a train of moods like a string of beads; and as we pass through them they prove to be many colored lenses, which paint the world their own hue, and each shows us only what lies in its own focus.”
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Perla

I'm too sad today to post in English since we lost a co-worker and (more important) a friend, so I will post in Spanish. If you want you can use the buttons on the right of this post to try an automatic translate.

Esta mañana el día lucía como un día cualquiera, clásica rutina en el horizonte. De repente la inesperada noticia: "falleció Perla!", dijo entre lágrimas mi gran amiga Barby. Terrible!!! Baldazo de agua fría que con agua virtual te hiela hasta lo más profundo del alma. Tantos momentos compartidos, tantos recuerdos... tanto que es tan difícil escribir al respecto! Sólo 57 años y sin previo aviso, tanto para dar todavía. No puedo siquiera imaginar el dolor de su familia si a nosotros, sus compañeros de trabajo y amigos nos dolió tanto!

Pucha, gracias por esas charlas y por haber formado parte de mi vida, Perlita! Hasta pronto,

GRACIAS!!!!!

A brand new Sun

Yesterday a friend of mine, Maxi became a father for the first time. A child is like a brand new sun, bigger than any other thing. So this flower is dedicated to Maxi, Pini and Cata! Read More!

All but one

This is a "Cardo Silvestre" (Bull Thistle) next to the Limay River, a few meters away from the Anfiteatro. I took this photo in January 2009, almost a year after I took the first shot I uploaded here... If you want to see/remember that HDR Anfiteatro shot click here.
As you can see here someone took one of these flowers, so this is all but one.

Saying goodbye to Michael Jackson

His death is sincerely a tragedy, I (and millions more) were really sad this whole week (and we will have to deal with the grief from the loss for a loooooong time). There is no doubt, even with his passing, that Michael Jackson will continue to be the "King of Pop" for future performers for decades to come. He is an irreplaceable and remarkable musical artist, his videos, clothes, style, dance and singing shaped our generation.
I end my homage the same way I've started it a week ago:
R.I.P. MICHAEL JACKSON, the world will never forget your legacy.

“Tears are the silent language of grief.”
~Voltaire

Crying Michael Jackson's death

Today I decided I will dedicate a FULL week of photos to Michael Jackson as my humble homage to him. This is the first of a series of images dedicated to the greatest entertainer ever, his genuinely remarkable talent deserved to conquer the world.
Perhaps this image looks a bit dark, but I feel it is appropriate for the time being.

Real Flower Umbrella at sunset

EXIF. ISO: 100, Exposure: 1/1000 sec, Aperture: 6.3, Focal Length: 100mm,Flash Used: No, Post Processing: gimp.

As you can see this image is somehow related with THIS one. Now I present you a pretty dark backlight photo... but for some reason I like the way it resulted after a bit of processing with gimp, hope you like it too. As usual, comments are welcomed!

“Every time you wake up and ask yourself, "What good things am I going to do today?”, remember that when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of your life with it.”

Real Flower Umbrella

My apologies about not posting anything yesterday! Sometimes RL does not allow me some free time. Anyway here I am! :) Today I wanted a natural image so this is my shot (dedicated to Agustín D. (an old student and new follower!)).
