Dr Faustus is slowly coming back's photostream

It is there, behind the fog.
definitely not the best night to shoot...
but i just had to.

San Francisco, sept 2011

Buda, Texas.
Happy 2012 everyone...
and a wish for a peaceful weekend.

i didnt expect to be away for so long...feels like a lifetime.

im still away, i just took a second to post this...im working on a series that i hope will be seen in geneva next year.

i hope.

i have missed everyone terribly. i still do miss you all, and my world here.

but i will be back.

i promise.

take care.

yesterday at 12.49, my daughter Gabriella Mallory was born. to me, it was love at first sight. she is doing good, even though her blood sugar is a little low. we are still at the hospital. i just wanted to share tjis with my good friends at flickr...whom i havent seen in a while, and whom i miss terribly.

may the gods bless you all.
peace and see you soon!:!

when i first moved to san antonio, tx, i used to see an old building on my way to work, and i wanted to go there for a shoot. i tried a couple times to find it out of pure instinct, no maps, no research, and all i did was drive around it, a few blocks distant, but i didnt seem capable of finding the right sequence of turns that would allow me to get there.
seems i am going through the same now. peace is there, i can see it, almost smell it, but it keeps eluding me. i cant seem capable of finding my way. free time has become a rare commodity for me. free time to shoot, process, comment, read. it all seems work and some rest and more work, and the rewards are taking way too long to show themselves. my camera is sitting there, unused, collecting dust, and that is painful to me.

i dont want to make this too long or boring or both. i just want to say goodbye.

at least for a while, until i can find some balance again. I will miss you all terribly, but i thought that just disappearing would be rude to all of you. I had to say something. I hope - with all my heart - that these very rough times will go away soon.

Take care my dear friends. and keep shooting.

Jose
