    Original Art and Inspired Photograph Open call gallery manhattan

    For photographers that are interested in showing their work at a Manhattan gallery, this is an Open Call My work as painter is represented here and I will probably be part of the selection team, but other than that there is only the relationship I have with Asher as a photographer and with the...

    Travelog: In BKK !

    This is the sidewalk on Sukhumvit, I think Soi 11 or 12, so to access it you just had to watch the motorcycle taxis crossing the street and shoot at very close quarters with the wide angle. The camera is my old 5DM2. There are two lenses that I may get to replace my Canon system and move to the...

    Travelog: In BKK !

    Asher, the idea was to contrast the world of the high rise condo with what is going on in the streets, and how this are not equal world here in Thailand --same as in my country Nicaragua--. I have jetlag, so I went looking for coffee pods at 3am and did't find any in the 7-Eleven stores, but...

    Travelog: In BKK !

I have landed in Bangkok. --for the ones that don't know, I am moving to Thailand for a few years with my wife that has a mission for the United...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    Last friday I went to the opening at Van Der Plas Gallery in the Lower East Side -NYC-, I had two painting pieces shown in a summer collective work at this gallery that represents my painting. Of course I brought the XE and took some images. I think that this camera with the 18mm f2 are...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    Thanks. I must confess that I went for the XE because it looks like the affordable Leica-made-in-Japan that I have been waiting for 40 years. With Sony there is the matter of lenses, and more specifically --and not as unimportant as it looks-- the wood of the 18mm f2 The hood makes using a...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    I grab the first subject instantly when I saw her doing this, but after taking the photo I had time to keep looking to try to see what was about. For a moment I thought that she had some sort of mental problem or disability, but latter I could tell that it was more like some type of yoga or...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    "really valuable "built in" option for processing in this new Fuji camera." Asher, you are correct. Of course I am one that have predicated on the use of RAW files for everything, but ... things change and now you can shoot some RAW, some with interesting filters depending of what you are doing...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    Yes, that is the idea. If the camera has a prime lens you can learn to calculate the angle of coverage after a while, and with the XE2, you can pre focus on Manual mode and change the f.stop and/or speed the old fashion way. I am moving with my family --my wife works for the UN-- to Bangkok and...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    This bunkers are just ruins of the last WW, but there is a very good museum inside of a large gun and bunker not so far away. This canon closed the passage between Norway and Denmark. There was a lot of man hour to build this, but now they are just drifting in the beach and two things are...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    I am a long time fan of Fujifilm, I shot a personal project with a Fujinon 135 on Velvia 4x5 transparency e6 film -ASA50- and later had a show on Fujifilm Pro Salon in Ginza, Tokyo. I also have been using the X10 for some time. They seam to be in synchronicity with the way I think as a...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    This was all done by the camera on camera. I can only get the credit of choosing this filter on this particular subject. So far I am having fun with a new system, so no real style or concise body of work, just opportunistic recreation shooting. But what I really want a camera like this -with...

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    I is good to get questions on the images and the camera. I am at the moment in Copenhagen and have limited free time to get on line, also I have not really examined some aspects of the cameras files on a proper computer. I ordered the body and lens at the beginning of this trip and have been...

    Thank you Asher, coming from you, I am honored. Here are some more images with the XE2+18 f2 This are German bunkers that dwell on a beach in Denmark retired from the war when they defended fortress Europe.

    Fujifilm XE2 and firmware 3 w/18mm f2

    This is like a cafe racer of a camera, it is retro looking, with a large sensor and -my choice- of a good 27mm f2 prime. But it is very light weight and small. Perfect for travel and street photography. Even for a long owner of a X10, there is a lot to get used in the XE2. At the moment I am...
