Ground pollution

My personal project Ground pollution is based in a personal quest for a self-discovering and understanding. Trough pictures of the ground I look for representing and showing my anxiety, fears and doubts. The ground in this case is more than a subject if not a mirror.
The idea of call it Ground pollution is because I am in some way expropriating its nature and putting my emotions on it, so I am "contaminating" the earth, taking its real form to transform it on my own benefit. In the same way the big industries (oil extraction, mining, etc) do to our planet.
The fragments of ground I show in my photographs have colours over saturated in some cases, fact that complicate the reading or understanding of the image due to an abstraction not common in photography where the object is usually recognized at first sight. But it's this diffciculty, to recognized the subject, which allows the viewer make his own interpretation.
There is an artificial beauty on this images, but not because of that less worthy. The strong and vibrant colours in some photos are like signs of a silent sickness or wounded skin. A cheerful decadence we could say while in others of dark tones there is some little optimism, a quick message telling us that there's still hope. As if our death will come tragically one morning of summer and the medicine that will save us would be inside an old mossy bottle.
I hope you like it.

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare...

Janmashtami is the joyful celebration of Lord Krishna's birth. Major celebrations of Krishna Janmashtami takes place at midnight as Krishna is said to have made his divine appearance in that hour. These photos are from the ceremony held in a small temple called The understanding temple, located in the village of Chosica, Lima Peru  in 2004.

Flowers, a hard task.

A while ago I was at home bored, it was sunday afternoon, nothing to do at all. So in my boredom I got an idea, I decided to take some photos of flowers, not my speciality. It was hard, a lot of ugly and bad shoots were taken but from all I got these shoots.




I should keep photographing flowers, dont you think?

Lighting the sky

Some months ago, here in Brno was held the anual fireworks festival  Ignis Brunensis but for bad luck I could  not go to main shows that usually held at the lake Prehrada where is kind of "easy"  take nice photos. But to be honest I am not good with the fireworks, this is my third time (the two first were in Peru at some traditional religious celebration) trying to get something really nice but no success.
From those days I like these two photographs they are like the eruption of some volcan or some galactic explosion.
