Control Remoto, a Video

One remote control, one channel (E!), one synthesizer, one level of volume, one visual effect (kaleidoscope),  and one note (G).

Un control remoto, un canal de televisión (E!), un sintetizador, un nivel de volumen, un efecto visual (caleidoscopio) y una nota (sol).

The images come from the iPhone application UberCam.  The extra voices come from the E! channel. The music is composed with only one note (Sol, or G), but with several octaves and a constant change in pitch.  Music made with Ableton Live.

Las imágenes vienen de la aplicación UberCam para iPhone.  Las voces extras son del canal E!. La música se compuso con una sola nota (Sol) pero con diferentes octava y un cambio constante de tono o altura.  La música se grabó con Ableton Live.

Playing with Water

What do I do while I wait for my food at a restaurant, and have my iPhone and a glass of water? Take photos, of course!!  This is water with ice, which gives some texture and mystery to each shot. I used several applications to take and process the images: Pinhole Camera, Pudding Camera, Plastic Bullet, and Camera Bag.

San Xavier del Bac - Church

This is a Spanish colonial church in the Southwest of the United States. If you visit Tucson, go to San Xavier del Bac. You will be amazed, even if you don't like art that much.

A Rainy Day in Richmond

Just a rainy day in Richmond, Virginia. This photo was taken with Camera Bag, an application for iPhone. I used my favorite setting, Silver. It looks like an old time photo.

This is one of those photos I took from the car--of course, I wasn't driving. This a tree and a power line pole that look nice to me, however for the power company it may mean big trouble.

Un Chien Mexicain (Hipstamatic Contest Entry)

Just remembering Dalí, Buñuel and the Andalusian dog, Lorca.

Minimalistic Power Lines

Sometimes the best photos are the ones that say a lot with just a few elements. I like power lines, both as metaphor and as sign of "progress" or the lack of it.

Atardecer y pickup

My little town in Sinaloa, Mexico, which according to Yahoo! Maps it doesn't exist.  This photo and the background of this blog are from the same series.

A Glass Of Water With Ice - Pinhole Cam Application

Pinhole Cam application for the iPhone | in iTunes $0.99

I have been using several iPhone applications lately. I like some of them very much. The Hipstamatic, ClassicToy, ClassicPan, and Muybridgizer are great apps. However, just like with other cases in life, simple is better. Or if it's not simple, at least create something that makes the audience feel so good, that it becomes a "new normal."

However, the photography application that I like the most right now is the Pinhole Cam. Its “feel” IS NOT exactly the same feel as using a real pinhole, but it is very close. The advantage, of course, is that I don't have to spend money and time in order to see my photos, but I like the colors and the light the photos have. There are only two or three other pinhole cameras in my latest iTunes search [November 9, 2010], but I hope to see more very soon.

The only problem with the Pinhole Cam is that it doesn't offer any options for exposure. I would like to be able to have the shutter open for a minute, two or fifteen minutes, but no more than thirty minutes, since it would be a waste of battery juice.

This photo is just a glass of water. But it has colors that other cameras didn't pick up. The resolution is not great. If I print it, I will use a 3x4 or a small square format.

Entering 7-11 At Night

If you have an iPhone, you must get this app, the Muybridgizer. It's free and it's a lot of fun.

A Deco Building II


A Deco Building II, originally uploaded by Lulú De Panbehchi.

The Hipstamatic app has been perhaps the most successful photo application for iPhone. I have used it for a few months now, but this week I discovered the Dalí style package, called "Salvador Dalí Museum GoodPak." This is my favorite package yet, and it will probably be the one I will use from now on. Unless, of course, Hipstamatic releases a package that produces Picasso style photos, which I would definitely buy and use immediately.

"The Magrot House, Cuesmes" Drawing by Van Gogh

It was great for me to see a drawing by one of the best painters, Vincent Van Gogh. I would like to recreate this drawing later, perhaps making a Flash® piece with it.

This is a close up of a dry flower on a piece of white fabric. I think it looks painterly.
