...I was supposed to get some shots on my little trip to nevada, but it turned out to be more work, and no shooting. damnit. Oh well, so it goes. I recently did some work on a image of mine, and i am very pleased with the outcome. "Rosa Negra" came out of me wanting to do something very dark, forbodding, but also elegant. I choose a rose. I guess your saying to yourself, A ROSE?? well I like to be unconventional. So I took this beautiful, red rose,..on the end of its life span, and I mythologized her. I gave her a soul, albeit a dark one, and the forbodding edge I was looking for. Thanks to my friend Nancy Davila for helping me with translating some english to spanish.............. I have always liked looking at water fountains, I dont know why,..it think it has something to do with the water, and how it dances in certain light. I can remember my mother taking me and my brother for walks along the boardwalk at the pier on New jersey avenue, I was no more than 3 or 4,and there was this fountain there. I was mesmarized by it. (Thinking of my mother now, she's no longer with us) Anyhow, in my photographic career, I always tried to recapture that thrill, that image of the dancing water. My newest addition to my quest. This is the Multple-jet, mini fountain at the Comcast Center in center city philadelphia.......
