Two sources of night light that are available at dusk. I’ve been a bit busy, but tomorrow expect a very hot topic: Plagiarism. Best wishes for this Monday morning. Take it easy, you have all week to meet your deadlines.
There’s an unspoken rule against publishing photos of your cats on your blog. I am breaking the rules on the request of my lovely sister. Here two my cats: Camilo the large black and cat and Lolita, the little white pussycat in the background. Oh, how I wish I could live worry-free as these two. … Read more
I must confess, I have a weak spot for colors and patterns. Maybe it is the fact that I am, after all, a graphic designer that makes me set the view-finder on colors or patterns. As a matter of fact, three my favorites photos were basically that: 1. Shadow Casting Lamp, 2. Antigua’s colors, post … Read more
Cobblestone streets are yet another characteristic of La Antigua Guatemala’s life-style (see photos 1, 2, 3). They are hard on the automobiles, trucks, bicycles and humans. Cobblestone streets require a lot maintenance. In the photo above you can see just one of the workers responsible for the streets’ repairs and if you follow the next … Read more
Many of the streets of La Antigua Guatemala are owned now by people who ask and demand to take care of your vehicle while parked. They ask in return for a small tip. So far so good. If you tell them you don’t need to have your car looked after, some of them will scratch … Read more
I don’t know what exactly haunts me about this image. Maybe the moon in the background, the green branches barely lit or the forged-metal railing. What do you think of it?
If I walk around Antigua Guatemala and photograph all the street corners, I could do a series for a long while just about corners. Every corner has its own little personality and color. I leave you with a few samples from the past: Green Corner, White Corner, Yellow Corner, Red Corner and Orchid Corner. Tags: … Read more
What makes the life-style of Antigua Guatemala so appealing? Well, for starters we point out the great weather. Fountains, gardens with many exotic flowers and plants, bright-colored houses, red Spanish-style roof-tiles, big doorways, forged metal windows, domes, antique lamps (1, 2, 3 & 4), among other things. To top it all, its warm and friendly … Read more
Finally Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo reached its post 300. We’ll celebrate while we’re a head. Just a spin on Marie’s, “Quit While You’re a Head” on January 16th from Alexandria Daily Photo. While 300 posts are nothing compare to other sites like Tenerife Daily Photo, with 500 posts on Friday, or even Paris Daily Photo, … Read more
Yesterday I talked about meeting people and having lunch at La Fuente Restaurant, which is a restaurant I visit often because of their economic daily menu. La Fuente Restaurant is next door to Doña Luisa Xicotencatl, one of Antigua’s landmark. La Fuente’s menu is basically a mixture between Tex-Mex and Italian foods, but for their … Read more
Just five days ago I was talking about the learning process and how it can be triggered by a simple image like the Foremost logo on Ice Cream Graphic Menu photograph. More often, for me that is, the learning process begins right after a film, book or song. The concept of Six Degrees of Separation … Read more
This is one of the kitchens at La Fonda de la Calle Real, which shows a typical kitchen in the colonial times. As you can see, if you click on the image to enlarge it, that most of the pots and pans were made from ceramic (cooked clay). La Fonda de la Calle Real is … Read more
Although this image is not as impressive as photo of the kid caught in the mid-air stride in Run Lolo, Run, it is nonetheless a good capture since the bicycle-rider is framed. The house, that serves as backdrop and frame, belonged to Santo Hermano Pedro de Betancourt (Saint Brother Peter of Betancourt), which is Central … Read more
Thanks to a comment by Sarah from San Antonio Daily Photo, I noticed the opposing stripe patterns weared by this couple on my entry of Love is in the air. Have an unexpected striking day! Countdown side note: Today’s entry is number 295 so far and we continue with a countdown to post 300th. I … Read more
One of the things that I like most about publishing the Antigua Guatemala Daily Photo and visiting the other Daily Photos Cities around the world is what I learn. I have an insatiable desire for learning and enlarging my education. I keep myself informed with magazine, newspapers, television and the web. I try to cultivate … Read more
