The Age of Innocence: Young Little Adults

© All Rights Reserved

Three little kids in their carnival costumes last February in Barcelona. Concentrated, looking at bigger students parading in fancy outfits. I didn't ask them to stand still, they were like statues themselves pricking their ears and absorted. What do you see when you contemplate this scene? Do you still see the child inside yourself? Do you remember you once lived in the age of innocence? If only we could be in their shoes, at least spiritually, and rediscover colors, fantasy, nice smells, euphoria, laughter, the warmth of our parents' hands and see only kindness in our peers' eyes. I don't take many photos of kids but I really enjoyed these young little adults.

Black and White Garden Bursts on Fire

I don't have plenty of time today as you can guess by the hour I publish yet another wild fantasy of mine. Had it been other times people would say the shaman did not measure quite well that LSD dose on me. I was playing with this sort of cactus, which originally is greenish or brownish in tones and wondered what would happened if I took a black and white version of the photograph and set it on fire with a thermal camera effect in Photoshop. On a closer look it is really burning hot!

Sunset in the Fields

This is a dark picture, in fact it is totally counterlight but that's the fun of it. It is meant to be watched from the distance as there is not much to distinguish in the dusky light of the foreground. These weeds were at least two times taller than me. I was walking along a path and the sun was all the time scintillating among the stems at sight level. Fortunately there was a plane leaving a white smoke trail too and in a way completed my ackward composition and daring shot. In the larger image you can get a little bit more detail perhaps. I wasn't pretty sure about this one but it helps diversifying the subject after recent animal and food issues.
