Green Table


One thing about winter here in the Northeast is the dominating white hue everywhere. I miss the greens..... Here's a photo I took at a bar in Key West with green lights and a green table. I cannot wait for winter to be over.

Snakephobia

I'm trying to learn candid portraits and try to tell a story from my photos. This will be my first entry and I used only crop and black and white conversion to make the photo very simple. I took this at a snake show in Florida and it was really funny how the lady tried to keep her cool while having this huge snake on her shoulders.

Harana


I went to New York City to visit friends, one is going back to the Philippines and the other one is celebrating her birthday. We all went to MSU to study and shared common friends, experiences, went to the same church, etc. This morning we sang some songs for our birthday celebrant and we used a very vintage songbook from our church (circa 1989). I was really amazed to see it after decades and as I looked back, it was the songbook that I used when I started to learn how to play the guitar.

Red Coral


One thing I missed about the beaches in Sarangani Province in the Philippines is seeing red corals along the shores. When we were in Florida, I saw this red coral at a store and it brought me back to a lot of good memories.

Key West Lime Falls


Ky and me are in Florida this week. We took this photo at a shop with a wi-fi connection (we were there for the internet not the food... hehehehehe...) This is not an actual waterfall but part of a small outdoor patio next to a fishtank.

Frozen Lake


Here's a photo of our the lake near where I live during winter. The entire lake is frozen and covered with snow. It was not easy to get there this afternoon, the snow was knee high. The spring photo is coming soon...

Kynoch



I just posted a series of pictures in my multiply account (www.i2castillo.multiply.com) and this is one of my favorite pictures on that album (Converted). I was studying how to take macro photos and I was practicing with Kynoch's eyes. This shot was taken in an attempt to photograph the details of her eyes.

Windows 2008


This is my first post for the year 2009. A few weeks ago, I visited friends in Brooklyn, NY and I was fascinated with the neighborhood where my friend lives. Aside from the exhaustive christmas decor, the houses have very interesting colors. This photo was taken in front of ate Carla's house and her house has the window on the left.
