As a photographer, I get to see and experience life through my lenses. If you think about it, it is somewhat of a confined point of view even when the other eye is open. But something magical or even mystical occurs when I capture moments such as the one below of my beloved God-son. The joy found in his expression as my brother-in-law pours snow over him is priceless! We often don’t appreciate these moments because they occur in the blink of an eye and when we do see them, they fall back into our memory banks sometimes to be forever stored. But in a mystical sort of way, his expression is captured forever and our minds and hearts can now be reminded that because of these moments, life is beautiful and should always be Cherished. There is nothing sweeter than the smile and the joy of a child, and as a photographer, there is no greater blessing than to capture those moments.
Today, I would like to share with you another passion of mine and tell you a little story. For those who know me well, it doesn’t take much to know that I have a deep appreciation for food. As a matter of fact, I am an avid cook and love to try different things all the time. Some of you have had the pleasure of trying my salmon and famous Arepas! LOL!
Anyways, a few years ago, I began shooting for a really great company called Goya. I shot some of their newest products at the time and I really enjoyed it. Soon after, I found myself shooting different commercial projects for various chefs and restaurants in the Miami Area and I must say it has been very rewarding.
Now that I’m here in Canada, I am on a mission to become established and expand my business. Therefore, I would like to announce the opening of my commercial subsidiary: The Fine Tomato!
The Fine Tomato will focus on providing Toronto’s finest Chefs and Restaurant owners with amazing images and portraits of their art (food) and their locations. I invite you to go ahead and check the new website, solely dedicated to this new endevour! Click on the image below to take you there. Enjoy!
Christian Music Artist, Samuel Duran is a man of strong faith and great charisma. He has an absolutely lovely family and I’ve enjoyed working with them to produce these great cover shots for his most recent album “Tiempos de Alabar.” Tiempos de Alabar is a heart-warming album with a Latin flavor. If you would like to hear the album or purchase it, click here. (The page will open iTunes)
In the mean time, enjoy the cover of the CD. The two photographs were taken by yours truly and the design was done by Dogo Creativo.
Check out my name in the credits of the album!
The other day, Andrea and I were blessed with a visit from our beloved God-son, Armando Nicolas or “Mimi” as we call him. His mother, Marcela, is a wonderful Real Estate Agent in the region and left him with us to attend a conference for the day. We love having Mimi around because he has such an incredible energy! Mimi is a class act! He’s in that stage of life were he just won’t stop talking, is curious about the world, and finds everything to be incredibly funny! It’s amazing how simple life really is in the eyes of children.
Don't you love his hair?!!!
Andre and I had the entire day planned. First, we would go to the pool, then ice skating (or skating, as they call it here in Canada, lol), and finally come back home to wait for mommy. Well, Mimi had such a blast in the pool that when we arrived home, he fell asleep!
After a great meal of Mac and Cheese, Mimi found Andrea’s nursing graduation hat and stethoscope. Forget skating! Mimi wanted to play doctor! It was so much fun watching Mimi try to figure out how to use the stethoscope and listen to Andrea’s heart on her stomach! Maybe Mimi will become a doctor one day; by then, he will definitely know where the heart is!
Can’t wait to have Mimi back for another visit!!!
