Hi! Thanks for visiting. I'm an American photographer living in Buenos Aires. These are photos from the blog I kept on my site from 2003 to 2009. I now have redesigned the home page to just show a portfolio of my current work. I also blog at BuenosAiresPhotographer.com where I post my baires snapshots.

 

Albino Vampire

I picked up an Infrared Filter for my Canon Digital Rebel to try out Infrared Photography. This is an opaque filter that only lets in IR-rays. If you use it on landscapes, the sky is black and foliage is white. Kodak makes special IR-sensitive film which is expensive and has to be opened in a darkroom. With digital it's easy, you just screw on the filter and play with exposure times until you get it right [the above picture is 3 seconds, f2, 400ASA]. I read on this page of Digital Photography Hacks, [more hacks] that taking portraits in IR can remove skin blemishes and give a soft, glowing look to the subject's face. This page did not say that my eyes would be pale blue [they're really dark brown], my eyebrows would be white and I would look like some freakish albino vampire.

Hi. I'm a 33 year-old American currently living in Buenos Aires. Before that I lived in California, Sao Paulo and New York and if you browse through the archives below you can see photos of all those places. Currently I'm posting most of my pictures on BuenosAiresPhotographer.com. I also have an old geocities page with some outdated information but also more photos of Buenos Aires, friends and my 9/11 pictures.
