Encore
This is another take on the sunset seen on another picture seen in this same gallery ( http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/JoelRojo/782361 ). The difference is quite obvious, the tones indicate that we approach to the end of the beautiful show that are the sunsets in Altamura.
Then, to go along with that theme, and the theme from the other picture, I played with the illumination to reinforce the perception of a path, which I like because the lighting looks kind of pretty where there are steps in the sand.
I would have loved to get richer colors in the sky but I wasn't able to do that and keep what I liked originally. I'll have to add that to the reasons to go back.

Vibe
After a more serious attempt at this same location, which you can also see at http://beta.zooomr.com/photos/JoelRojo/788960 , I went for a more Lomo kind of picture, as an experiment, which resulted in this. I specially like the figures drawn by the lights because of the overexposure, they never seem to form this kind of shapes when you want them to, which is a good thing, keeps you fresh on your approach.

Distance
Having the camera near floor-level was not just a creative resource this time, it goes with the theme of longing and need of what the altar represents.
The altar and the path to it are the bright parts of the picture, and the luminance rises as you go up vertically in the photograph, which is because of the religious themes on it.
If you dislike the religious motif, there's also a door to the left that's actually as bright as the ceiling of the altar, which I didn't want to left out. To me it represents what we are yet to find out, but I'd be interested to find out what it could be for you.
For anyone who cares, this is the Cathedral of my native city: Culiacán, in México.

Self
This was taken years ago, I've long ago dropped the emo glasses. Ok tks.
This was meant to be a self portrait of sorts, but in a more lomographic frame of mind. I wanted it to look frank and sort of troubled, but still vibrant, which was achieved with contrast and brightness levels. I made two shots and after editing, I liked this one enough to keep it.

City Hall
This is a view of the City Hall of my city, Culiacán. Not much to say really, I just tried to take the best shot I could.
