I am not a writer, nor professional photographer, and I don't pretend to be. Over the last few years I have become very passionate about the art of photography, and I've come to discover that through the lens of a camera, you can express and share so many things. It is my wish now to hone those skills so that I may share what I see, feel, love and experience with others who can't be places themselves. Many of my adventures will take you through Barcelona, Spain, Europe, and North America. I hope you will enjoy the journey!

Artistic Borders

Sometimes if you’re not in a rush when looking for a picture, you can find some pretty artistic shots. Some of my favourite shots are with found or artistic borders. These are obtained when shooting through a closer range object and focusing on one in the distance. These may take a little longer to acquire because you have to be careful on how you focus, but the end results are very worthwhile.


For the two shots your seeing here, I had to physically be on the ground, focusing on the roof of La Pedrera (a house built by Goudi) across the street. The out of focus scroll work (or the border) is from a wrought-iron street lamp, designed by Pere Falqués i Urpí.
