We were 4 photographers from Latin America at the Latin American Salon: yours truly, Diego Echevers Torrez with a collection of outstanding portraits, Rosa Gauditano's reportage on Luiz Inácio Lula and the 70's Brazil; and Andrés Rozo Samer's experimental abstractions.

My fascination for decay and stability:two contradictory forces at play, as well as dark and light...

Inspired by Dante Alighieri's Canto VIII, The River of Wrath, where he finds his personal enemy, Filippo Argenti, in the mire of the river Styx consumed by his own wrath

Grain Tower is a mid-19th-century gun tower situated offshore just east of Grain, Kent, standing in the mouth of the River Medway. It was built along the same lines as the Martello towers that were constructed along the British and Irish coastlines in the early 19th century and is the last-built example of a gun tower of this type. It owed its existence to the need to protect the important dockyards at Sheerness and Chatham from a perceived French naval threat during a period of tension in the 1850s. Rapid improvements to artillery technology in the mid-19th century meant that the tower was effectively obsolete as soon as it had been completed. A proposal to turn it into a casemated fort was dropped for being too expensive. By the end of the 19th century the tower had gained a new significance as a defence against raids by fast torpedo boats. It was used in both the First and Second World Wars, when its fabric was substantially altered to support new quick-firing guns.

As the title says: an unkindness of ravens. I believe English is the only language which has an adjective for a group or gathering of birds, animals, fish...

It is apparent that the process is not 100% similar from one image/negative to another, at least not for me.

I was too late by a day of a better shot...
