Hello Asher.
Your familly and yourself ? Well I hope.
My son is at our house these days because his wife is gone on work with my daughter and her employees to Barcelona. He had a small throat problem but things are getting better.
This kind of exhibitions - those where Jose is - are ... How can I say ?
I want to expose but on something better. I don't want to expose - if I ever expose in my life - in a coffee house. I would like to expose in an art gallery in Lisbon.
Setubal is a too small town for my ambitions.
However, I am aware that this is very difficult and it is - may be - too ambitious for my standards of pictures.
But thing here are - often - very tortuous in terms of opportunities. One has to know the right person, at the right place and at the right moment.
I have hidden many pictures from my site. Now I decided to show only the ones I think are the best pictures I take. I am more selective, more demanding.
And talking about the way I shoot.
Yesterday, after having done the photo above, I was telling at dinner that I really have some gift about photography.
It is a shame to make such a statement. In fact, I don't think when I shoot.
I just grab the camera - whichever it is, and now I have teh 20D, the 5D and the G9 - and most of the times I get a good picture.
Then, some work on LR2 - which is a superb program - will do the rest of the work.
I am studying the program these days with the help of Kelby's book, reading forums and blogs about it.
Well, enought talk.
These are two images from José, which were on the wall.
But I post here one of mines.
If the background was black - ah ah ah - you could see that I now use a white frame around which enhances teh photo very much.
I am now free in terms of frame. I mean, I use the most convenient size/frame for each picture.
Setubal is only about 1/2 hour drive from Lisbon and about 2,30 h from Paris/Bruxelles
You can always click on my photo to see it with a black background. (I am stubborn, sometimes ah ah ah ...)
