How Burano, Italy was Uncliched - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

I've longed to visit Burano, the small island close to Venice, before I knew photography.  In this corner of the world, color palettes seem to have met their matches.

When it's easy to splash colors inadvertently, especially for the chroma-loving creature like moi, I decided to get out of my mold.  Yes, for the new year and new spring, this is what I did to "uncliche" the often over-done.  What element do you recognize that's beyond color(s)? 

I hope you agree that my Assistante sure out-did his performance in Florence (Firenze), Italy.

If you are going to fly, do it with a flair - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

When you are born with a pair of wings, you are meant to fly.  While you are at it, soar as high as possible.  The view will guarantee to be different.

We've been eyeing this beauty for a while.  So, when we knew we would meet them in the Galapagos, my Assistante had been asking about the viewing possibility every day of the trip.  And even with such persistent effort, we almost missed them.  At an unexpected opportunity, we seized the chance and made the trip (even) more fulfilling. :-)

Her name (could have been a he as well :-)) is red-billed tropicbird.  You may wonder why the red lips, the eye-liners, and even the long tassels fluttering in the air while it's flying?  To be honest, I don't know.  But they sure catch attention.  At least they got me and my Assistante obsessed.  

Oh, this just gave an idea.  Let me add to what I said earlier - when you fly, soar as high as possible and make sure to do it with a flair!

Are you flying in style? ;-)

Would you like a black and bright? - Los Angeles Travel Photographer

For anyone that knows me to certain extent, I'm not someone that's bound by limitations; or I'd still be in a field of biology, financial industry or even back in a country that I was born in (the video in my About Jean page might explain a little).  I love the freedom that the choices of life has offered to dabble.  

Arequipa was a town in Peru that we made an effort to visit and, despite the altitude sickness, the colonial center of the city did not disappoint.  On the day most people squeeze in tasting cuy (guinea pig), shopping alpaca products and visiting historical monuments, we found our candy store at Santa Catalina Monastery.  To be exact, we spent 6 hours in this city-in-a-city and came out feeling exhilarated.

The light, colors, shapes and shadows are playing in countless combination at any given location/moment.  The crazy version of moi was having so much fun and went beyond the usually colorful representation of this group of amazing Mudéjar style architecture.

It's boring to be defined by labels.  And life's too short to not taste the many flavors in this world.  If you ask me what kind of photography I make?  I'd say, maybe, black and bright (reserving the right to change at a future date).

What do you think?  Don't rush to answer, take a gander around first (travel photography from many countries including Peru, portrait photography, including fine art nude, or blog). :-)
