Thundernight

After a long day in the "VOLTAGE HOUSE" waiting all afternoon to shoot a commercial they called me for (Extra $), I went to my house and quickly ran upstairs to the rooftop of the building.. I wanted to try for the first time for capturing a lightning because there was a thunderstorm.

I stood up there for about an hour and shot like 500 photos, but just 1 good one.. I was trying to find out which was the best way of taking a photo to a lightning. It was kind of difficult but i got some sweet results..

Sunny afternoon.. suddenly .. it got all gray and i knew it was going to rain hard. I wanted to try taking pictures of rain drops or something .. test the composition with a whole view of my room's window.. after a while a look to the window and i see like a yellow sky i was like shit.. what happened to my eyes.. i even rubbed them.. seriously rubbed them .. took a photo to see if it was true and it was.. later it get darker (orange), then pink and purple.. it was sick.

Later, a friend told me that was a natural thing that happens when it rains during daylight and the drops create a prism with the sun or some nerdy thing like that..whatever..it was cool!

A day in the park

Weeks ago I planned with two of my friends that we should go one day and try to take some nice photos in the park. On a saturday i called them and asked them what were they going to do in the afternoon and they answered that they had no plans..so i asked them immediately if they wanted to go and take the photos.

I was also excited because i wanted to try my new 7D. I really suck taking photos for girls.. I want to gain more experience.. when we got there I didn't know what poses should they do or else.. i just tried to make them laugh, and that worked a bit and I could make some nice natural portraits.

We had a good time.. thankyou Karina and Stephanie

Flat Island

On wednesday i was hanging out with a friend, Bolivar Andres, very good sponsored free-surfer that lives in Bocas del Toro and he told me we should go the next day (Thursday) to surf at Big Island. I tried to look for someone who could take us and my friend Ricardo "BATMAN" Conte appeared and told me he had a new van and we could go in the van to the caribbean so we had everything set up.

Batman's new VAN

Next morning (4:00 a.m) we take off and call my other friend Ricky Barnett.. who also joined us. We picked up Bolivar and went to the Island. After 2 hours of driving we got there and felt a really strong wind coming from everywhere so we were all kind of down because there weren't waves, but who cares we tried so we called the boat man and he took us to the spot .. we saw a 1ft. white water and a really strong wind .. we were like #$@%^ it sucks ..we wanted to surff!!! So we went back to La Guaira to go back to the city.

We didn't even know what could we do .. we didn't want to be in the #$2%# city so Bolivar came up with the idea of going to the Shelter Bay where he has his sailboat parked. Yes..i forgot to tell you guys.. he was captain of a sailboat called Princess Lauren and lived in his sailboat ("Alegria") since he was 14.

Shelter Bay [10:51 a.m]

We went to this place to check his sailboat. There i could shoot some really sick lifestyle shots of us. So the trip wasn't that bad. After checking his sailboat he invited us for lunch..

After the "shelter bay" we drove to the Causeway in the city to meet some friends of Bolivar that he needed to talk with.

YES THIS WAS OUR WEEKEND SURF TRIP HAHAHA.. HERE ARE THE SHOTS

San BLAST

My dad invited me to join him for a trip to San Blas, an archipielago of 365 islands off the north coast of the isthmus. I thought about it .. because i wanted to surf but ..bahh .. i asked him if i could take some friends and he accepted so i though it would be nice to go with some friends and have a good time with the mates!

Pedro Pablo Vallejo and Agustin Cabrera joined the trip .. when we got there we saw the beautiful island with beautiful turquoise-colored ocean we were so happy! 5 minutes later it started raining hahaa. that sucked! our campings got wet inside and all our stuff got wet and didn't stop raining till like an hour maybe.. anyways we were having a good time.

The time we spent was cool but the rain sucked.. Here are some shots
