The world through my eyes

Inventando un chin con mi camara...

2008-03-18T09:35:00.000-07:00

Les cuento que recientemente tomé un curso de fotografia básica en Chavon (finally!!) y quedé encantada con todo lo que aprendí. Descubrí muchas funciones y botones nuevos que no conocia de mi camara, y espero poder inscribirme en otros de los cursos que ellos imparten porque de verdad que they know what they are doing. Aqui les muestro algunas de las fotos que tomé en un viaje que hicimos al Jardin Bitánico.

Don´t know why, pero siempre habia querido capturar un columpio solo, en un parque. I think it looks so sad and lonely, like waiting for a happy inocent child to sit in it and bring it back to life. Que se yo...it´s wierd I know. No me hagan mucho caso these days.... lol

A su juicio, aqui esta la misma toma en los dos estilos.

Hotel Iberostar

Estas las tome en mi ultimo viaje a Bayahibe. Los hoteles de la cadena de Iberostar son populares por su decoracion y hermosos jardines. El de aqui no se queda atras! Checkerau!

Just a kiss

Don´t you just loveee Getty Images! Es uno de mis pasatiempos favoritos, when I have nothing to do, I go to this page for some inspiration. Me encantaron estas dos fotos y quize compartirlas con ustedes.

Lust. Need. Desire. Hope

...and so it ends.

2006-09-07T13:24:00.000-07:00

Por un momento pense que seria eterno. Then my plane ticket reminded me.

I have to leave.

Back to the real world.

The end of an unforgettable time.

Summer 2006

Sometimes it's all that it takes

2006-08-23T19:33:00.000-07:00

The power of a kiss.
Madonna couldn't have said it better.

Forbidden Love

Just one kiss on my lips

Was all it took to seal the future

Just one look from your eyes

Was like a certain kind of torture

Once upon a time

There was a boy

There was a girl

Just one touch from your hands

Was all it took to make me falter

Forbidden love

Are we supposed to be together

Forbidden love

We seal the destiny forever

Just one smile on your face

Was all it took to change my fortune

Just one word from your mouth

Was all I needed to be certain

Once upon a time

There was a boy

There was a girl

Hearts that intertwine

They lived in a different kind of world

Just one kiss

Just one touch

Just one look

Just one love

The United Nations

2006-08-19T10:34:00.000-07:00

I think this is the Security Council chamber.

I wasn't really paying attention to the tour guide at this moment.

I was too busy picturing myself setting there, in one of those blue chairs, speaking my mind on one of those microphones...

Hell, I could be the water girl and I'd be happy...

I just wanna be there.

Just a thought

2006-08-19T10:26:00.000-07:00

Hey...

How come Magneto has never been to New York?

Ustedes se imaginan?

Que interesante seria!

lol.

My trip to the Village

2006-08-14T20:14:00.000-07:00

Yep, there's actually a gay street here.

Si alguna vez vivo en NY, I would love to live in Greenwich Village, known as "The Village" among new yorkers. Freedom, creativity, fashion and free jazz at the park. What else does one need?

Free Jazz at the park

2006-08-14T20:05:00.000-07:00

New York and free jazz?

Priceless!!

Happy time!

2006-08-14T19:47:00.000-07:00

Esto fue en una Photoshoot que les hice a mi prima y sus amigas en una cosa que aqui en NY llaman "playa" pero que no concuerda con mi idea de una playa y parece mas como un gran pozo de agua de color oscuro y sabor...um well indeterminado, since I didn't step one foot inside that water lol.

Anyways, I love the way this picture came out. Me encanta el efecto del agua, their happy faces, la captura de ese momento tan exciting and fun among long time friends.

Si quieren una seccion de fotos, just say the word and I'm there! lol

Strawberry latte? what the...?!?!

2006-08-14T10:36:00.000-07:00

This was my thought as I found myself reading the menu at a local Dunkin' Donuts the other day. Being the official coffee addict that I am, I woke up that morning wanting my black liquid, practically yearning for a taste of it. So I rushed to the nearest Dunkin' Donuts (no Starbucks cerca,and like they say, a falta de pan, casabe) y he aqui un resumen of what happend next:

-Me :"Hi, um let me get a medium latte, please"
- Old man with a very deep unknown accent:
"A medium latte...what flavour?"
-"Flavour...? Uhh...regular coffee?"

-Caramel?

-Not caramel, just normal coffee...
-(annoyed expression on his face) "No listen to me! you want a latte, right? what flavour do you want it? Caramel, Strawberry, Chocolate...just read the menu and choose (impatient look).

Ustedes se imaginan my thought at this point: oh no he didnt just give me that look!

hell no!

- No you listen to me sir! I want a regular latte , just normal plain black coffee with milk, with nothing else! I want no flavour, no caramel and specially, no strawberry on my coffee. Black coffee with milk, put together. That's it. Go it?!!

-So a medium latte, no flavour?

-YES!!

So sue me for been a wierdo and still like my traditional old-fashion black unflavored coffee.

Idiots! Gosh.... (Napoleon Style)

This sign was just too disturbing , I HAD to have some kind of proof. Las cosas que se ven my God, el otro dia vi en un letrero "closed" y abajo "Serrado".

Bueno.... pero por lo menos intentaron verdad?

Si profe Maria viera algo asi le diera un solo ataque lol.

Flying lovers

2006-08-07T12:49:00.000-07:00

aww.

El amor presentado en su forma mas sencilla y pura.

Tuve que esperar como 15 minutos para poder capturar este momento, porque los asuste y se fueron para otro banco del parque.

Fly away lovers.

View from the Brooklyn Bridge

Empire State Building

El Empire State de noche. Me encantan los colores que cambian constantemente.

Ser o No Ser

2006-08-01T21:46:00.000-07:00

Esto nada mas se ve en una ciudad como New York.

I love it how things like this are perfectly normal.

Deberiamos tener uno asi aqui para que se acabe la hipocrecia que vive la sociedad dominicana.

Just a thought.

Hey cuando la oportunidad se presenta...aprovechenla!!

2006-08-01T21:18:00.000-07:00

La imagen lo dice todo.

2006-07-30T10:32:00.000-07:00

Esta foto la tire en un restaurante (very good por cierto) en uno de mis viajes a New York city.

Ok, so I have a theory about this:
POR QUE razon es que en los restaurantes que se especializan en carnes SIEMPRE pero SIEMPRE tienen alguna foto de animales, de vacas , de vaquitas con su familia , or in this case, un busto de un pedazo de un toro (looked very real!) pegado en una pared, con sus ojos negros fijados en ti, mientras devoras lo que parece como the missing part of his body? WTF?!?!
Y eso que ustedes tenian que ver el video (wide screen, sonido and everything) de las caballos cabalgando en la llanura que estaban proyectando en una de las paredes.

What kind of sh@# is THAT?!?! que falta de tacto, que falta de sentimiento, que cruel! Esta bien que sea un restaurante de carne, pero entonces eso significa que todo el que esta ahy disfruta matar a una vaca para comercela? Le pago a quien se atreva a hacerlo.

So my question is: es realmente necesario ponerme la cabeza de la vaca que me estoy comiendo right in my face?? Do I need a video telling me that what I'm eating was once alive??

ehh.... don't think so.

that's it, I'm going vegan!

2006-07-30T09:54:00.000-07:00

Great view of the Brooklyn Bridge capturada pour moi of course!

Everyone knows there's only one way.

The New York way.

2006-07-27T09:55:00.000-07:00

With all the problems in the world, bush, el petroleo subiendo...with all of that, this man prefers to forget and live. Caer en los brazos de Morpheus into a profound sleep in a random couch inside a random starbucks of New York City.

A crisis in the middle east? being seen with some baba dripping from his slightly open mouth?

who cares? This is true peacefulness.

The city that never sleeps

2006-07-27T00:35:00.000-07:00

New York, New York.....God I'll never get tired of proclaming my eternal fascination for this city.

and when they say it's the city that never sleeps...es verdad. This was taken at 1:00 am.

It doesn't get any better than this!
