Solvitur Ambulando: It is solved by walking.
Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my pre-visualization begin to flow. I went out for a photo-walk recently. Clouds partially covered the morning sun, turning it into a giant beauty dish with a diffuser. This transformation created soft yet punchy light that gently wrapped around all the objects in its path. Shadows, when present, were soft. The pastel colors were subtle.

Empty Chairs in St Mark Square: I was intrigued by vacant spaces – spaces that I certainly had not seen without hordes of people. The strongest presence in these images was what was absent from them.

LX Factory Lisbon, Portugal
LX Factory in Lisbon Portugal. A weaving factory was established and blossomed because of industrialization; it fell to a factory fire in 1814; rose-again but with a new “English-style” fire-proof design in 1819; fell yet again as it went out of business in 1917; and stayed abandoned and forgotten, yet it rose again like phoenix from ashes into its current incarnation: the LX Factory in 2008/2012.
