Happy (belated) New Year

Ok, it took me a while to come back and resume posting, lots of things going on, but I should be back to “normal” soon.
This past year was interesting, and I can wait to see what 2012 brings my way, new challenges and smiles are on the way. In the meantime, many thanks to friends and family who helped me get to where I am now, and here are some of my newer pictures.

Street Photography

Sometimes we let our problems consume us and we lose ourselves for a little while, life in general has been full of changes lately, and not all of them are “good” (not that change is inherently good or bad, it just “is”), but I’m a glutton for punishment so I dusted myself and I’m coming back for more.

This past Saturday I went out and took some pictures in downtown DC, I had a lot of fun, and here are some of the pictures I took.

Our friend S, beautiful as always.

Also, I wanted to mention that I might start updating the blog with one picture a day, and then a regular post once a week, we’ll see if I can do that.

Thank you very much for reading,

Hitting the streets

So life got a little in the way and I’ve been pretty lazy with my photography lately (actually, life kinda came in, kicked me in the nads, took my wallet, and then laughed at me as it walked away), but I think I am out of the rut now and ready to take back to the streets with a vengeance.
I will be going out this Saturday and I’m planning on doing some street photography (downtown and hitting the skate park on 11th St. on my way back), and well, trying to get life under control.
Here are some recent pictures:






Thank you for reading and I will be updating tomorrow,

The City

(This post was originally written on March, 27th, just got around to post it today)
The city is beneath my wheels, it's a beautiful day, the traffic isn't so bad, except for some regular choke points throughout the city, life is good.

I see people going about their business, pretty girls hurrying to their offices, rugged construction workers walking to their job sites, bicycles zipping by, also the people going on their morning runs (I hate you, you healthy bastards), I drive and take the city in, we're a sea of anonymous faces, I"m the only one (I can see) that is recording this moments with my camera, the beauty of people (of all walks of life), going about their days. It does make me a little self aware (god dammit, I just noticed a hair growing out of my ear), I can't be the only person taking pictures right here right now, can I? it doesn't matter ('cause I look good today <joke>), I'm just enjoying the city while I'm in one of those increasingly rare good moods.

Spring is here, although you wouldn't have guessed it by looking at people, it's pretty cold still. I need to make a point to come to the city during my days off, shooting on red lights is getting really old.

Last week was my 4 years anniversary (marriage), and we had a blast, we went for brunch and decided to spend the rest of the afternoon sick (awesome brunch @ the Tap Room...), it was awesome.... Anyway, I decided to continue the celebration on Sunday, so I brought some flowers for my honey and I cooked an amazing dinner, and now, all is good in the world.

Here are some pics, I will be posting more pictures on my Flickr Photostream soon
