52 Week Project - Week 33

This weeks pictures were taken in Montclair, NJ.  I used a Holga lens (Thanks for letting me borrow it Lui) that is made for Canon DSLR cameras.

The following pictures were UNTOUCHED by Photoshop.





The last two are little creepy and I LOVE IT!!!  This is the purpose of my hobby, taking pictures of various objects that capture my eye.

Gotta get me a HOLGA lens!!
 

Hope you enjoyed them!


Hasta la proxima semana!

52 Week Project - Week 32

Week 32 brought me to the SOHO NYC area.

I met Mr. Sergio Furnari.

He has recreated the Lunchtime Atop A Skyscraper, a famous black and white photograph taken by Charles C. Ebbets



The miniature version is AWESOME!!



You can purchase different size iron girders and chose different iron workers to be placed on them as you like.

So if you in the Soho area and see this, stop by and check it out.  Or you can check out his website, Mr. Furnari is very talented and it was a pleasure meeting him.


Until Next week!

I was speechless when I saw this:


Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park, California. Located 37 miles south of Carmel, CA on Pacific Coast Highway 1.


This is from one of many view points off of PCH 1.



This panhandler on the beach had a great idea and as you can see it works!

52 Week Project - Week 26

This weeks picture comes from Peru, these are balconies that are closed with beautiful doors.  I was able to find some info online about these from Wikipedia, see below.


The Balconies of Lima are cultural heritage built during the Spanish colonial regime as well as in the republic era in Peru. Most of them were built in the late 17th and 18th centuries, hence structures are located in the historical center of Lima. They were adapted for ceremonial purposes and have influenced in the life of many Peruvian scholars such as the 19th century writer Ricardo Palma. Nowadays the number of them counts up to 1,600.

In order to retain its conservation, the Municipality of Lima has invited individuals and companies to adopt a balcony in order to maintain them as if they were new. The abundance of these balconies adds to the particular harmony and originality to this part of the city.

Until next week
