Malaga 'Backs'

Stone Stair, Port of Malaga

Construction Site, Calle Granada, Malaga

These are older photos taken in 2008 but are the start of a series of photos to show the 'backside' of Malaga. Abandoned buildings, construction sites, etc. If it works out the idea is to make an exhibition together with Phil Magee who has fantastic street photos, in colour, of Malaga. The contrast of two styles but one city could make a great show.

Guess what I got for Christmas this year! It maybe all plastic, fixed focus, fixed speed and fixed aperture but the result are great.

Experiments with Flowers, Nov 2009

These photos are the start of a series that will combine different types of lighting with flowers in different states of freshness. I guess it is going to be a sort of 'wilting under the spotlight' kind of thing.
Above: white rose, taken with a horizontal back-light (flash).
Below: white lilly, taken with a horizontal back-light (flash) and another flash on the grey background.
