5. An this one is for you to see the smallest house in Old San Juan, Up there, between two building, a door with
two small round holes. I don't think it's even 7' wide. And, BTW, the building to its right was once a hotel. Woody Allen filmed
part of his film "Bananas" in it.

Hello Eduardo!

For me, #2 the faded out walls in the building resembles a painting, very cool. Thanks for sharing!

in the rotten front door. Fortunately, one doesn't see much scenes like these anymore in San Juan, but they were common once. Restoration efforts and an interest in living in the old city has changed this, although it is very expensive to rebuilt a house in this state.

how have they arranged the furniture inside. As a friend told me, just imagine a plasma or LCD large TV screen in there... it would take the whole width of the house by itself.

This photographic stroll seems to have been particularly fruitful. Isn't it funny how sometimes the great subject matters seems to virtually "come" to you with ease and on other days we keep searching for it in vain?

#2 is an impressive shot. Amazing how beautiful a demolished building like this one can be. Despite the discoloured walls and the broken structures the sight has retained its elegance which I find fascinating. And the spectacular light helps a lot.

#4 conveys an entirely different mood, one of tranquility and rest. It strikes me as odd how few times we actually look up into the sky when there's so much generousness to be obtained from it.

Thanks, Valentin

sometimes manage to survive some time before restoration, the process of rebuilding is expensive and takes time, as the brick is not compatible with concrete and lime must be used instead of the usual cement plaster. And then the beams have to resist termites, the wood they used is not much available anymore. Sometimes recycled materials have to be found. The Spanish brick is not available new here and we have to import it. Thanks Valentin

The textures of decay and age are so beautifully captured in your photo! Your pictures have such depth and clarity -- it's amazing to me.

Thanks for sharing!

Of the series, this is the one for me -- very 3-D, and draws us into a world of former elegance as a result. I don't know whether the constraint imposed by shooting through a hole made a difference, but if it did the result was certainly intriguing. Image quality is also very good (see above on 3-D perspective) -- I would have guessed DSLR.

Best,

The only problem here was that a DSLR lens wouldn't have fitted through the hole!

I like #4. Brave of you to post that. I love the de stijl minimalism of it. I have one somewhere I should dig up and post, but yours is better.

I understand. I did hesitate.
