Day 12, just a night landscape

Day 11, A book by the window

Today I took the photo quite early compared with previous days.

The book is from the Peruvian photographer Billy Hare. I will prepare an article about him soon,as there little information about him online.

Day 10, want to see a hot girl on the bed?

Today there was an open day in a newly opened foto studio: Atelier Vama so after finish teaching my workshop I went there for the last half hour there few models and a bunch of photographers that you can see below.
My selected photo for today in the sixth.

We look creepy sometimes, isn't it?

 

Day 9, Inspired by a master

A dinosaur and garlic. Believe me or not this picture was inspired by the famous image of the pepper taken by Edward Weston.

 

I took first just the garlic but was too simple for my taste so had to make t more personal and the best way to do it was being playful. I don't take picture of death animals only ;)

Day 8, Fears, illusions and happiness

It was 10:30 and still had no taken any picture for today. Honestly, I had a total laziness all day but I I have decided not to fail this time and make a picture a day, whatever it takes.
I did no want to go out to the street and try to snap some street scene, instead I did what I like the most and I needed to do, continue with my project The solitude of delirium so I took my book a little bird body and start to compose the scene. Then I took my camera and start to compose and try to find a good angle for it. Not an easy job, it may look easy have something photogenic and be sure good photos will come out but it is not.

Photography is more than just point and shoot, in many cases is a catharsis or self therapy process, in more simple words a way to express our fears, illusions and happiness and learn to live with them.

From the moment we decide to frame something and take a picture of it, we are granting some importance to that piece of reality over its surroundings. Why we choose that scene depends in our experiences and way of thinking. Why I choose a dead bird? because for me represent the end of an dream, the bird that never learnt to fly, a broken illusion. However tragedies are part of life and deal with them is what make us stronger.

The eternal dream.

The above image was taken specifically for this 365 project. The image below is a behind the scene of the shooting for the The solitude of delirium 

Day 7, this is getting harder

Well, one week after I decide to start this project of a photo per day and is getting harder (which is good). I am falling sleep so no comments today.  Just I hope you like the photos.

Both taken at ISO 1600 and 3200 respectively.

Day 6, when alcohol helps inspiration

Not much to say today, simply that I wrote a poem after long time and yes, it was after drank a glass of wine :D
These hands are from a friend who I convinced to try to write a poem as well and as you can see, she had not finished her glass so her results were no as good as  I expected.

Day 5, a day in The Hague

Well, today was a very nice day walking around The Hague and inside Madurodam from which I have this image:

 1/80 -  f7.1 People waiting for the tram.

I took more but as it was vacation with my son my focus was mainly snapshots with him and random photos of the place. I did not want to spend time looking for a good angle and right moment as my goal was have a quality time with my son.
Photography is very important for me but sometimes is good to put it aside, forget it about it and shoot like a "normal" tourist.

Day 4, Simplicty

Sometimes we look for the extraordinary or something special in order to have a nice photo however if we simply open our mind we can appreciate beauty in many ordinary things. Here some artificial flowers from a friend's house and below a duck from my afternoon sightseeing.

 

Day 3, Travelling...

Today I made a small trip:

Day 2, when the picture is a gift

Today the photo was thanks to my son. At lunch he finished before than me so he took this little angry dog and put in front of me saying " he will watch you until you finish all your food" It make smile and I tough it could be a good photo. I took only three, one horizontal and two verticals all at 1/30 and f.8. and I picked the horizontal as my picture for today. So thank you my son ;)

Later we went to play to a park and again I took my camera to try to catch a better image or see if I could come out with something interesting. During our game he took a piece of a branch and start to act like a ninja, that was really cool, look at him immersed on his imagination fighting imaginary ninjas.
I  took exactly 189 images (due to the burst mode) but my chosen one is this:

Here you can see the other 4 that I like too.

Day 1, so far it looks easy.

Well, here I am with my first photo of this 365 project. I will limit at the most per 3 images per day even I think there will be days I will suffer to make at least one decent photograph.
Not sure what you will want to I write about, the technical details? the reason why I choose that image or what inspired me to take it? But for now, I will write what come to my mind.

 After pick up my son from his summer class I saw this old woman on our way back home. I asked the woman if I could photograph her dog and she gently accepted. The dog was a good model.

This photo was inspired by many of the similar photos I have seen featured in photography online magazines, sometimes I found them boring and sometimes beautiful.

Same as before, I liked the shadows. Enjoying simple things now.
