La Barca

Sunset at the Tota Lake, Boyacá, Colombia.

This photo reminds me of the old bolero “La Barca”.

Dicen que la distancia es el olvido
Pero yo no concibo esa razón

Porque yo seguiré siendo el cautivo
De los caprichos de tu corazón

Supiste esclarecer mis pensamientos
Me diste la verdad que yo soñé
Ahuyentaste de mi los sufrimientos
En la primera noche que te amé

Hoy mi playa se viste de amargura
Porque tu barca tiene que partir
A cruzar otros mares de locura
Cuida que no naufrague en tu vivir

Cuando la luz del sol se esté apagando
Y te sientas cansada de vagar
Piensa que yo por ti estaré esperando
Hasta que tú decidas regresar

Some things are too simple to describe.

Kids playing with the pigeons in the square (plaza) of Chiquinquirá, Boyacá, Colombia

Even though I loved the theme I was using in this blog, its narrow main column bugged me because it just didn’t look right when posting photographs, and that’s something I really like to do. So I decided to switch back to this theme “The Journalist” and then made some changes to it.

Yup, I got my hands dirty with some wordpress php code and managed to add some “sidebars” to the footer and change the basic color scheme. There’s still some more work to be done but I’m happy with what I have so far.

To inaugurate the new theme I am posting one of my favorite photos from my last trip to Colombia. Enjoy!

A Carnival at the Atlanta Day Shelter.

Sara and I went to the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children with a group from church to spend some time with the kids and play with them as a post-Halloween carnival. You know, to “brighten their day”. Everyone in the group (mostly married couples) organized little games or activities for the kids to play. Face painting, mini-bowling, etc.

Since Sara and I had to come up with an activity to play with the kids, I thought a nice “game” would be to take the kid’s picture with their mom and then print the photo right there “on the spot”. So I brought my camera, mi printer, laptop, etc.

Sara picked the best photos and printed them while I went around shooting. I would shoot batches of 15~20 pictures, then I’d go to where Sara was and downloaded the batch for her to print. We brought some nice glossy 5×7 paper. It was a good process until the camera stopped working with the laptop.. bummer.

Anyways, the kids really liked it.. and the moms loved it! I bet most of them (the moms) have very few photos of their kids. I was glad it all turned out pretty good. In fact we may be repeating the “game” during the christmas days, except this time we’ll take some Santa pictures!

Most of the photos are candids even though I tried to take some regular posed shots; but I should know better how kids are and won’t stay still.

Here are some more:

This is just my first post… I had to start somewhere.

Perhaps THIS TIME.. I will continue writing more often.

Since this post is kinda short and lame, I’ll leave you with a nice photo I took today of my friend Tux.. he’s been my friend for the past 5 years (most of my time in the US of A).

He loves Guitar Hero
