One of the models waiting for me to setup the shot, I liked the image so I decided to post it on the blog.

Went out walking tonight, I am preparing for my next shoot on Sunday and wanted to get a sense of the location again. Below is a shot of the location

Quinceañera
I have just finished color correcting the latest photograph in my new series. 

Location: Local Thrift Store

Today I walked upon another great location and scene for my series.  On 18th place there is a small thrift shop run by two women.  Many of the neighborhood women shop here for their families while waiting for their children to come out of the grade school accross the street. 

New Location for series

Today was such a nice day, I decided to walk the neighborhood with my camera hoping to capture something.   On 18th street there is a tire repair/grocery store, which I have walked by many times.   As I was walking by today I saw a man sitting in the rocking chair and a women coming out with bags in her hand.  Before I could pull out my camera they had both walked away.  It turned out that the man was waiting for his wife who was the woman coming out of the store. 

The photo is of the store's entrance where I saw them and where I will b recreating the scene.

Aguja: la marca de tiempo

For each photograph there is a corresponding needlepoint that is being created.  The idea is that as the series grows, so do the needlepoint panels that will ultimately form a quilt.  The needlepoint idea is inspired by my great-grandmother.  When my grandmother passed away my mom started to take care of her grandmother my great-grandmother.  Every morning she would wake up and needlepoint.  It was the one thing that made her very happy and is something that I will always remember.  In honor of an amazing woman, I have decided to incorporate this element into the series.  In a way, I also feel close to my great-grandmother as I create the quilt.

Sin Título: Una Pérdida de la Madre I finally completed all the color corrections for the third images in this series, the photo is ready for printing.
