Store Keeper in Jerusalem

I took this portrait of a store keeper on December 2011 with Canon EOS Mark Ds lll http://www.canon.ca/inetCA/products?m=gp&pid=213 using my favorite lens  EF 85mm f/1.2L II USM http://www.canon.ca/inetCA/products?m=gp&pid=2114. I love the bokeh affect of this lens.  Very little photoshop work was done.  I just de-saturated the bright yellow on the bakground.

Street Vendor in Mexico

I took this photo in Zihuatanejo a small fishing town in Mexico.  I used my favorite Canon 85 mm f 1.2 lens.  His wide open eyes and the wrinkles in his forehead creates a three dimensional effect.

Spiritually Charged

I took this picture of religious man a Hasidic Jew, in Jerusalem by the wailing wall.    I am not sure if he was sleeping but he was dozing off or he was charged spiritually and that`s why he closed his eyes.   He was standing and  holding the golden steel gate for support and balance.

Old Oldsmobile

I noticed this old Oldsmobile in Gravenhurst, Ontario in front of an antique shop.  A took this image as my wife was in the antique store browsing around.  I had my Leica M9  with 35 mm lens.  I made a few test shots to experiment with the right angle.  When I decided the angle I wanted to photograph, I realized that couldn’t get the entire front of the car with my 35 mm lens.  I made to shots and photomerged in Photoshop creating a panorama.  Here is the final image:

Picture of the Day

This is a photo I took in my last trip to Istanbul Turkey.  It is an old house that the wooden sidings are rotten are falling apart.  A few of the rotten wooden boards already fell off and showing the bricks underneath.

Two windows and the door is adding to the composition of this picture.
