Pintor que pintas iglesias… píntame angelitos negros
May 29th, 2008
Rudy, I bought some angels from this guy, when I went to Antigua last year. I loved the little angels he was selling.
May 29th, 2008
Congrats for the pics in black and white, new style eh! They are great.
May 29th, 2008
Rudy, very nice shots. Love the B&W look. Did you do any cropping to the last few pictures posted here? Just wondering if you had the FULL picture of the violinist available.
May 29th, 2008
To answer your question: “Perhaps, so the creations can look up to their creator.” Love the philosophical musing, Rudy, and these recent photos of artists are amazing!
May 29th, 2008
Rudy,
Once again great thought provoking photos. B&W works well for these. I am happy to see the angels are looking out for or to us and not spending all their time looking up to their creator.

You’re KILLING me. I may just fall in love with black and white afterall. Super super photo. Were you laying on your stomach? I think you could sell prints of this (and many others).

que tambien se van al cielo todos los negritos buenos.
May 29th, 2008
Mo, the violinist appeared just like the photo was taken.
By the way, good opportunity to let you guys know that I do not crop the images at all or do any editing other than white balancing the images. However, I do take many shots of given subject so I can have at least one good shot. Even though I do have a lot of experience doing photo retouching and tricks in Photoshop (that’s my profession, you know), I do not have a lot of time to dedicate to retouching a DAILY PHOTO for the web site.

I like this photo, Rudy. And I’m also liking the b&w, keep it up. I’ve been having fun with the black and white as well, with a few photos from my recent trip there.
