Coppelia

I'm trying to put together a multimedia package of a production by the Alabama Ballet. Will post it here when it's finished. This is one of the behind-the-scenes moments that I like.

Little (very little) town festival

There's another I-almost-fainted-while-taking-it picture like this one somewhere in the blog, but I like this wider angle better.

The difference between high school basketball in the US and the rest of the world is not only the higher level of the sport in this country; it's also this:

In Europe, 16-year-old girls playing a final would be happy if even their parents were watching. Media? not even in their wildest dreams. That's pros' territory, exclusively.

Cleaning up

After one week inside a big arena for 10-12 hours a day shooting the state basketball finals, I was fortunate enough to go out on a sunny saturday to take pictures of this church group that was doing some cleaning, fixing and building in a small community in the countryside.

Some worked, some played...

There's a cemetery close to my house

I took this one for a friend of mine
