Faith

dsc_7460_lacathedralbwwebI was shooting some photos at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels –will have a series on that later– when this scene caught my eye. I am not a practicing catholic but I respect people with strong faith. That’s what I sensed there.

Thursday Doors – July 21, 2016

For this week’s Thursday Doors, I am sharing a few captures from the historic colonial mining town of Ouro Preto, in Southeastern Brazil. Ouro Preto is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its outstanding Baroque architecture. You can see some of that in the shots.DoorsOuroPreto-Web-09b_008Doors-OuroPreto-Web-10b_015-1  DoorsOuroPreto-Web-10b_010   DoorsOuroPretoWeb-10bb_042Door-OuroPreto-Web-10b_007DoorsOuroPreto-Web-15a_008

Recurring Model

This was the third time I encountered the “Santa Monica Daredevil,” as I call him. It had been a while, almost a year, since I last photographed him. As usual, as I was walking around Palisades Park, with my camera at hand, he just materialized in front of me and I just kept shooting without much thinking. At first, the sun was behind him, so I shot some silhouettes. As he passed by me, I made some shots with the golden light on him and the Santa Monica beach and pier below. Next time I should go after him and ask him what’s his deal… 🙂
