Its all about Art

Some photographers strongly disagree with HDR techniques. Well, as long as we are talking about art, it has no sense at all. Lets take a painter, he has 3 colors but he is told that if he mixes them to make a new color its not accepted.
So what if we have 3 different photographs and combine their exposures to get a new one. It's only about the way the author wants to express itself. Or there are now a bunch of technical standards for art, the language of humans. Being able to take a picture that shows exactly things how they appear was the reason why painters stopped painting as real as possible. We just want to express ourselves.
Well, whatever, here is my starting point at HDR.

New Decision.........FastFoward

The idea at first for this blog was to have a cronological order in the photographs.
This is boring, I have way to many pictures to upload, so what I will do, is from now on
I will upload the pictures I take each day, and from time to time upload an old picture I like.

Keep on chasing Juan!

...and there is tho one who you look up-on...

There is this human being beyond all.
This great and close friend, full of wisdom and knowledge.
That one who carried you since you were so small, and now, being so big, he still
carries you, even if you don't notice it.
He is the one that inspires you, but not in photography, but in life.
This pictures shows how I feel.
Black and white, because everything is simple.
Sharp, because everything is so clear.
Close up because thats how far we stand from each other.
And his pose is his knowledge.
This is my Dad.
