Adieu, Bon Voyage,

Adieu, Bon Voyage,, originally uploaded by Lucia Rojas.

I seem to be in a nostalgic mood lately. I have spent days going over old images... pictures I took when I first started to fall in love with photography. It was the moment my brush changed..... and it created a complete transformation in who I was and what I wanted...

I have loved every second of the way in this process and I can't wait for what is coming.... but still, some of my favorite and most loved images where taken back then.

This picture I took for a friend who was leaving on a long trip. It was my way of saying goodbye. :)

R.I.P. Roy Decarava

"I want to express that moment when a man going to work has meaning for that man and for me, not the fragment of the whole but the expression that sets it apart for all men going to work at that given moment, when that man ceases being one man and becomes all men."
-Roy Decarava-


Roy Decarava is one of my favorite documentary photographers. With him I travel in N.Y. to the world of jazz that I adore... with him I get to meet all of his subjects while also looking at them from the sidelines. It's like I can touch them with my eyes... without ever intruding. He leaves an amazing body of work.

Homenaje a Alda Merini

WE 2 R 1, originally uploaded by Lucia Rojas.

Amore,
vola da me
con l'aeroplano di carta
della mia fantasia,
con l'ingegno del tuo sentimento.
Vedrai fiorire terre piene di magia
e io sarò la chioma d'albero più alta
per darti frescura e riparo.
Fa' delle due braccia
due ali d'angelo
e porta anche a me un po' di pace
e il giocattolo del sogno.
Ma prima di dirmi qualcosa
guarda il genio in fiore
del mio cuore.


Alda Merini, da "Alla tua salute, amore mio"

Onion makes me cry

Taken in Villa de Leyva Colombia. Onion Plantation

I love this shoot for many reasons. For one I love the location and couldn't be more inspired when I am there. Villa de Leyva is definitely a magical place full of wonderful energy, creativity and kind people. Secondly, I usually tend to get very close to my subjects, I am always looking for ways to make the frame tighter, but here I went wider. And the wider I went the more I loved it. I certainly feel this is the beginning of a story telling phase. :)

Sometimes there are questions that need to be asked... no matter what the consequences.
