Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Candid Shots

I love catching those spontaneous moments when people are just being themselves and going about their business. I’ve gotten some nasty reactions when photographing strangers, so I try to do it in a non-obtrusive way or with their permission. Here is a series of candids taken in Santa Monica and Venice, California.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated

When it comes to color saturation, there is no place like the boardwalk on Venice Beach, California, which happens to be one of my favorite places to photograph. I was there just yesterday and here are some of the very colorful shots I got. Talk about saturation!

Weekly Photo Challenge: From Lines to Patterns

This week’s Photo Challenge is “From Lines to Patterns.” I have quite a few shots that fit the category, so it’s been hard choosing. But here are some. I may post others later.

A Word A Week Challenge: Arch

The word “arch” sends me straight to Moorish architecture -nobody did arches like them- and to my photos from Spain, especially Andalusia.

Here are some arches from the Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Royal Alcazar of Seville. I’ve also added a couple of shots from the Casa de Pilatos, an Andalusian palace in Seville, which serves as the permanent residence of the Dukes of Medinaceli.
