From Culiacán to Mazatlán

Last month my family and I went to Culiacán our home town in México. This is just a small collection of photos that I took while driving form Culiacán to Mazatlán on our last day in México. Every time we go back there I always get amazed about the intensity of the light, after living in New England for 7 years I have gotten used to the low angles of the sun and cloudy days, so when I go to Culiacán or Mazatlán (which are divided by the tropic of cancer) I really enjoy the amount of light and the flat landscapes. well here it is, enjoy, share and comment!!

HDRI construction set

A few days ago I had to travel to Washington DC to a photo shoot for a client. It was an exciting day as we had to photograph one of the nicest historic buildings in the city. What I didn’t know was I was going to find miself shooting in the “depths of hell”. Once in the place I noticed how cool shooting different exposures and blending them would be, there was very little light so most exposures were 30 seconds or more. Well, here is the result, enjoy and comment!!

At Dawn

What is this? “At Dawn” is an independent production by Rodrigo J Lopez a coworker and friend of mine, this is just a small taste of what is to come. With the Script almost ready, the casting done and a lot of drive from Rodrigo, Evan, Dave, Vassili and the rest of us who support the project now is the moment to raise funds to start production, below you will find the links to the Facebook page, the official website and how to suport the production. There are many ways to suport the film other than money so I would really appreciate you posting this on your social networks.

Heavy Metal

A couple of weekends ago me and the family went to the Worcester Armory because my oldest kid think he is a Knight, so my wife though this would be a good idea. The kid loved it, and of course it was a great opportunity for some photos, without anything interesting more to say here is the new collection of photos. enjoy and comment!!!

The Boston Tea Party Museum

Since I moved to Boston I have heard that the city was renovating the “Boston tea party” trough the years and some American history 101 I learned the importance of it for the US of A to ditch the British empire at the time. I wont give you a history lesson as I dont know much really. but here are a couple of links to what exactly this means for US history and what the new museum will have.

If you clicked on the links above you will have learned that the Boston tea party museum is about to open finally after 6 years of promises and god knows how many politicians making bad choices. So, some of the final pieces of the museum are replicas of the three ships that had the tea cargo in question and was dumped to the Boston harbor by some “hyppies” from the 1700’s ;). These photos document the first one arriving to the site although they still have to finish putting it together because the masts did not fit under the bridges over the channel.
