17th Street

Walking up 17th St. in Denver. (And no, it is not HDR. The light happened to be so.)

2011 - Mt. Pilio, Greece

2012-01-01T19:02:00.001-08:00

Looking at the (sadly) few photographs I took during 2011, I made a selection from a trip to beautiful Mount Pilio in Greece last June.

Flickr set here.

New York blizzard

2011-01-02T07:22:00.001-08:00

A small visual taste of the blizzard in New York city last weekend. A taxi parked overnight on Broadway around W. 100th St.

Waiting for the bus

Wall painting

... outside of an auto shop. Taken a few weeks ago somewhere in the Lower West side in New York.

New York City

2010-11-01T17:49:00.000-07:00

I walked many miles in New York City last weekend. It took a while to get over the sensory overload and make some pictures.

See the flickr set for more.

Seen her?

2010-10-30T16:10:00.000-07:00

I am in New York city for a few days. Someone in the neighborhood has lost their pet.

iPhone camera

2010-10-09T13:02:00.000-07:00

I have been taking pictures on the iPhone lately, as it is almost always with me.

A selection of some more images is in this flickr set.

Wood and steel

2010-10-09T12:19:00.000-07:00

I have been fascinated with music since I was a kid but only now did I start learning how to play and it has been taking up a lot of my free time. Hence taking photographs has been a little slow lately.

Denver Art Museum

2010-10-03T08:40:00.000-07:00

Prompted by the idleness of this blog, some people have asked me if I lost interest in photography. I haven't. (More on that later.)

Here is an image taken at the Denver Art Museum a little while ago. The unconventional architecture of the new wing is a great opportunity to play with lines - there are hardly two that are parallel in the whole building.

The piano on Larimer Street

2009-12-30T17:06:00.001-08:00

An early morning encounter

There is a very colorful piano on the sidewalk, on the corner of Larimer and 15th. I just saw it this morning. I have no idea what it is doing there, other than be the unusual encounter that attracts your eye, or even makes you stop and play some tunes.

Flamenco night

2009-12-30T11:49:00.001-08:00

The grand finale

Very nice show at Mercury Cafe last night. A couple more here.

Australian Critters

2009-12-17T17:15:00.001-08:00

Big hug

Of course no trip to Australia is complete without an encounter with a kangaroo and a koala. For lack of time, my own encounter was in an enclosed environment at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane. See all of those and more here.

The Great Barrier Reef

2009-12-17T17:03:00.001-08:00

Last Saturday I took a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Unfortunately, beginner divers, such as myself, were not allowed to carry cameras underwater. Anyhow, it was one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Let's hope it stays that way.

Sunday I went for a short trip to the Green Island. Some more images are here.

A walk in Cairns

2009-12-08T13:54:00.000-08:00

The lagoon in Cairns.

More views, seabirds etc, are here.

Cairns, Australia

2009-12-06T15:17:00.001-08:00

Low tide marshlands.

I was up at 4 am, strolling by what was the seaside last night. Some early risers were out for breakfast already.

37,000 ft over the Pacific

2009-12-06T15:13:00.000-08:00

The sun rises over the Pacific Ocean.

The 15 hour trip was not too bad, except from the occasional speed bumps. Those who know me and my motion sickness know what I mean.

Boston clocktower

2009-11-30T10:13:00.000-08:00

A face on the moon.

Shot last night at the Government Center area in Boston. Handheld, at 1/20 sec. You have to love the Image Stabilizer.

Southern Cali

Photos from a recent trip to LA and San Diego.

Telluride

2009-08-08T13:42:00.000-07:00

Photos from a recent trip to Telluride, with a side-trip to the ghost town of Alta. They are here.

Larimer street-painting festival

2009-06-08T19:22:00.000-07:00

Last weekend was the annual Larimer Street, street-painting festival. It was cool to see the tarmac being transformed into a painting, even for just a couple days.

Some more images are here.

Costa Rica

2009-06-08T18:30:00.000-07:00

From a recent 10-day trip to Costa Rica. Route: San Jose - Quepos - Jaco - Monteverde - Arenal - Rincon de la Vieja - El Coco - San Jose.

Full set is here.

Slacklining

2009-04-26T16:06:00.000-07:00

I bumped into a group doing some pretty neat tricks on slacklines in City Park this afternoon and I was glad to have a camera with me.

The full set is here.

Flatirons - Framed

2009-04-19T10:06:00.000-07:00

Framing the Flatirons in Boulder, strolling around the remains of last night and watching the Boulder-esque curiosities.

Home studio

2009-03-25T17:23:00.000-07:00

I have been building a very basic home studio. Equipment:

Canon Speedlite 430EX flash

Paramount hotshoe to miniphone cord (Speedlite on hotshoe)

Elinchom Skyport Universal Trigger Set (transmitter on camera hotshoe and receiver plugged to Paramount cord).

Stand with white translucent umbrella.

Here is what it looks like so far:

And a still composition "Man and Woman" (full size image here).

Shadows

2009-03-14T16:59:00.000-07:00

Some nice shadow lead-in lines walking around Boulder today. Check out some more on flickr.

Oh my, what have I done??

2009-02-19T19:14:00.000-08:00

It's often the case that after snapping away on my camera around Denver, I will get a close look at the images weeks after and get this "hey, what is this?" type of feeling. Typical case, the image below. It's not a ghost walking the streets of Denver, it's just Fanni with a commuter rail on the background.

More photos from that walk on a cold Denver afternoon are here.

Bosque del Apache

2009-02-16T19:14:00.000-08:00

A couple weeks ago I took a trip trip to Bosque del Apache ("woods of the Apache") national wildlife refuge near Socorro, New Mexico. Its lakes are the wintering grounds of thousands of birds, mostly ducks, snow geese and sandhill cranes.

The sight and sound of the birds flying in in the evening to spend the night at the lakes is spectacular. In the morning, slightly after sunrise, all the snow geese gathered at one side of the lake from where they all took off as one huge flock.

A selection of more photographs from that trip is on flickr.

Portraits

Out and about in Denver

2008-11-29T11:34:00.000-08:00

On the first snowy day of this winter I went back to some of the photos I took last summer around Denver. On flickr.

2008-10-29T20:35:00.000-07:00

At the Obama rally last Sunday in Denver. Some more on flickr.

2008-10-07T21:21:00.000-07:00

The beach of Dyskos in Crete. One of my favorites; it hasn't changed much in the last decade.

In the canyon of the Saints, in Crete, outside a little church.

2008-09-28T14:38:00.000-07:00

Photos from the "Canyon of the Saints" in the south coast of Crete.

2008-09-27T16:33:00.000-07:00

Late August I took a trip to Greece to visit family and friends. Here are some photos of my home town, Iraklio, in Crete.

The main cathedral of Agios Minas.

The fishermen's section of the old Venitian port.

Friends

Neka and Dario

2008-06-15T13:29:00.001-07:00

The cats are the subject that never stops giving.

Evening birdsong

Enjoying the views and singing a tune late evening in Sloan's lake (west Denver).

Kiva crop

2008-06-07T17:57:00.000-07:00

Many people said they liked the photo from inside the kive. Here is another crop of it that I actually like better. (Thanks to Jao, the annoying white border is now gone!)

Bandelier National Monument, New Mexico

2008-06-04T20:31:00.000-07:00

We took a trip to Santa Fe recently and did a day trip to Bandelier National Monument. Very interesting cliff dwellings in a beautiful setting.

A view of Tyuonyi from the upper dwellings. This is what is left of buildings that used to be two stories high.

A kiva up at the Alcove house.

Inside the kiva.

Blooming desert

2008-06-04T19:50:00.000-07:00

Some more photos from that trip to Moab. A lingering injury took me off the bike for this trip, so I hiked many places I have always intended to but never did. Also, the timing of the trip was perfect, as it seemed everything was blooming!

Negro Bill canyon.

And a nice surprise: a hummingbird nesting. I should thank the guy who pointed the nest out to me.

An unusual (or not?) image from Arches National Park.

June 1st, 2008. Welcome to my photo blog!

2008-06-01T09:57:00.001-07:00

I am an amateur photographer living in Denver, Colorado. Here you will find a selection of my photos.

Below are some pictures from a late day trip to Dead Horse Point in the Moab, Utah area.
