Once more, walking in the woods with my dogs, I found some piece of trash that looked interesting: a sneaker shoe. Why one and not two if they’re always around in pairs? Who throws away just one shoe? And what’s more, why leave trash in the woods when you should take it to a garbage bin?
Anyway, I thought it’d be interesting to repeat the exercise of finding ways to “bring back to life” through photography that piece of garbage that had been taken for dead. Following is the series of 15 photographs that show the transformation from “rubbish” to art by means of a different way of looking at it and a camera.
As always, I kept within my own paradigms: I used only available light and no digital retouching with Photoshop or anyother kid of software. It’s all reflections, refractions, glass, metal, and materials of different colours to “paint” the light.
I ask of you, if I may, that you judge each photograph for what it is, not thinking of the rubbish that is the subject. Do you like it? Does it stirr your emotions, your feelings, your memories? Is it beautiful to you? Is it balanced?
Each photo should stand for itself, but each is also one of the 15 in the series. I’d love it if you left me a comment. Thank you.

The sun stroke the flower as if caressing it, and my macro lens revealed a whole new possibility when I photographed it this way.

I have to say goodbye to 2009 by mourning the death of Kodachrome film. That’s the brand of film my dad gave me to prove to him that I could take good enough photographs so I deserved his camera. And now, they not just don’t longer make it, but nobody processes it!
.
.
.
.
It’s sad to think my father left about 50,000 slides, most of archeological sites, anthropological issues or cultural matters and soon there won’t be a way of projecting them, seeing them… And the worst part is that those slides, in spite of decades, still have a spectacular quality, whereas digital files get corrupted or become obsolete because the storage device or back-up you use becomes obsolete.
I know I could buy a flatbed scanner or one like this to scan his slides and mine, plus all my negative film, but, you know what? Quality is still unmatched.
.
.
.
.
We may never reach the Orwellian extreme of “War is Peace” (where war exists only to destroy material stuff —sorry about the casualties— in order to make people buy everything again thus maintaining the economy of the world going.
Requiem for Kodachrome.

Often Nature seems to me to be so delicate, so tender, so subtle that it’s almost hard to breath because the feelings of amazement. And I’m sure the math equation that could describe these curves and patterns is barely less beautiful.

I was in Vivi’s new car and we stopped next to a Mini Cooper at a red light. That’s when I saw this and shot it.

Walking with my dogs on the mountain I found this senseless knot over a rusty sheet of metal. And I say “senseless” because, what’s the point of a knot if it’s not tying anything? Although, for me, it was beautiful precisely for that reason. The unbearable lightness of futility, Kundera might have called it..

Walking on London, I saw this gorgeous Audi R8 parked and, looking at it from all its angles, I discovered this reflection of the Harrods' sign, where, by the way, I should've bought Earl Gray Tea No. 42, the one that Douglas Adams drank, and that was the reason why Deep Thought, the supercomputer that for 7 million years was looking for THE answer to life, the Universe and everything (in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"), in the end revealed that it was "42".

Our pear trees have very few pears now, their leaves are falling and they are a beautiful orange-red colour, and they’re starting to bloom. It’s a beautiful sight.

I left the bus, crossed the street in London and immediately saw this on a wall. It made me think that someone was trying to rip off its outter shell.

One of those reflections I love to find.

It was my birthday last July and Crusli invited me to Valle de Bravo because she knows how much I love that little village, with its mountains and its lake and its pine trees… And there was a moment when I got my camera out but there was little to photograph, so I thought of painting the sunlight and catching it with my lens using reflections. This was, without a doubt, my favourite photo from that trip… and this birthday.
.

As it happens often with my photographs, it doesn’t matter what it is but what it makes you feel when you look at it.
Now, if only I could come up with a name that fitted it properly, something that uses the ascending line, the warm and cold colours, the texture… Or should it be something completely different, perhaps, something about a memory, an emotion?

I had to go to L.A. and I stayed in a hotel in the middle of nowhere. Well, truth be told it was right next to Universal Studios (the attractions park), but since I’d visited the one in Orlando not long ago, I wasn’t thrilled about it nor did I have much free time, so instead of that or of shopping, I did what I like best: hunt for images. These were my favourites. What do you think? I’d love it if you left a comment. Thank you!

- The Geometry of Emptiness
.
A deep dark nothing was engulfing me, and the shadows casted just helped to unnerved me more. Still, when I breathed, I was strangely relaxed, as if nothing was coming out of everything…
.
.
[ ]
.
.
.
An ecoumbrella of green patterns and strippes gave me cover when the sun was at its peak. I wanted to return the favour but couldn’t think of anything more than a humble “Thank you” when what I wanted to tell it about the shadows, about the foldings, about how beautiful it was, but I was too overwhelmed.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
.
And there it was, a pair of orangish-reddish leaves with deep green stripes and shadows so deep that it looked like the picture was broken. But it wasn’t.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
And the shadow still remains.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
I’ll call this one “Abstract in Green”, though it’s part of the Adagio Luminus Collection.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
.
And this one is called Butterfly of Shadows on a Terracota Sky.
.
.
[]
.
.

“I’ve been cute, gimme something”, seemed to be telling me this squirrell. Regardless of how much I like squirrells, I had nothing to offered. It made me sad.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
Water games, is this one. I love how the water drops on water and produces waves that play with each other and with the greenish light that was the result of an intense sunlight and palm trees.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
Dotted dot. And I love it.
.

This photo is called “C de vaca”, which literally translates into “C as in cow” —and which doesn’t make sense in Spanish, because here it should be “V as in vaca”. The idea for the name came from a local joke.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
Leg in V. But I don’t know if the lines won’t let you out or keep you from coming in.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
Right colours, wrong order for France.
.
.
[]
.
.
.
And to keep on with the joke, “M as in sky” in a geometry of deep blue.
.

[]
.
.
.
Waves, in an Ocean of another colour.

On September 20th, this photograph of mine was shown on the main page at absolutearts.com. It would’ve been nice if somebody had bought it, but I’m still happy, so nevermind.

Please, judge this photograph by its composition, colours, the feelings it stirs in you… and not as “what is it?”, as if photography mattered only as much as the subjet it captures on file or film.
My paradigms? Only available light, no retouching either in the blackroom or in the computer, and there has to be a point in focus at least
