Classy & you seem to have an " Eye "..
see a little influence of Franco Fontana maybe...?
I used to teach Photography @ University. Still have way too much camera gear for my own good. Legacy of that previous incarnation..
Am looking to sell most of it..
These days, I paint.so have lots of need for an " eye " there too..
Good Luck From another artist...
May your negatives always give rise to positives..
Great work on the photo-site. I LOVED the old villages/old people collection. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to shoot our next-door neighbors putting their panties/underwear on their outdoor clothesline, and you beat me to it! But it's a wonderful shot, with all the contrasting color around it. That Canon does admirably well; I don't know that Nikon's CCDs produce as vibrant colors as it does. Or perhaps they are the result of some "magick?"
I hope you're still working with film some, too. That's a purely magical art in itself -- especially when you can afford to move to medium format, which probably would have been better for that shot you attempted with the tree/clouds. If you can't already tell, I want a medium format camera so bad!!! I sold my wonderful Nikon F100 to get this lousy PowerBook (

Wow, nice work. How'd you manage that Drinking Water shot?
Txs guys for your comments !
The Drinking Water, was shot in a shopping center (!!).
This shopping center in Lisbon, is all related to the Portuguese discoveries, and so it has a lot of sea related stuff. The glass roof, is running water 24h/24h, and the seagulls often come in and drink the water (the mall is really close to the sea).
Although it is forbidden to take photographs inside the shopping centers, I couldn't care less.
Glad you like it.

I guess I am lucky for living in such a country full of photo oportunities.
A couple of months ago, one of our moderators , spent a few days here, and by the pictures he sent me, he had a great time!!

are the "coloured b/w" originally colour shots with photoshop colour removal to get to b/w ?
or original b/w film layered with colour elements in photoshop?
permission to show my students? (no commercial use)

Of course you can show your students. I would love to see their comments in my guestbook.
The shots you mentioned were originally colored and I desaturated partially in PS. A lot of work, but it works in a few photos.
Txs for your comments.
