A little about me...

I'm usually working. I manipulate gullible consumers, I mean I work in advertising!
People usually think I'm sarcastic... I am, but only on weekends.
I'm a bad speller, just plain lazy, my fingers do the thinking most of the time.
I have 3 beautiful children (animals really) of my own and 2 dogs which are family members, not pets!
When I'm not working I'm taking photos or playing around with them on PhotoShop or Lightroom, which means I'm working.

I plan to someday visit Australia, Africa, Greece, Portugal, and Hawaii and once I cross those out my list I'll make a new one... Until I visit the whole world.

I have traveled to various cities in China, Spain, Puerto Rico, US and Dominican Republic.

I have a Nikon D2xs and a D70s, I would like to have more glass but I don't! I'm currently purchasing equipment for my non existing studio, it will someday exist.

Artist's Statement

In this collection of images I decided to explore the beauty within decay and death. I used 120mm black and white film to capture a feeling of solitude and forgetfulness. I also used color film to contrast the old and new, decay and beauty.

I get goose bumps whenever I walk into a cemetery, and for me this is the only way of looking at this place differently. Appreciating all its antique sculptures, this is the oldest cemetery in a town called Manatí in Puerto Rico. Built originally by the Spanish. Many important families, politicians and artists were buried here. The oldest tomb is from the 1800s.

The photographs here are a simple reminder that there is beauty in death. I wanted to work on this for a long time now, I finally got the chance to do this.
