photo #6

This picture was taken in doors.What really cought my attention from my angle was this lady sweeping and the design that expresses texture in a way that i can almost say that i know how it feels whats painted.All three of them just cought my attention.Once again it connects to my concept because the designs are mexican they were taken inside a museum of art .I used phtoshop to add the lighting effect to all three of the images.I saw alot of amazing things here and i really hope to visit it again.

photo #5

This picture was taken out doors .It Was like an altar to emiliano zapata a mexican revolutionist.It seemed interesting to me how they created this using diferent types of fruits like bananas,apples and flowers too.I centered his picture so it can be like the center of attention besides a the colorful fruits.Relates to my concept for its art created to a mexican historian .

This photo was taken outdoors in tijuana.This was a busy traffic intersection but i managed to quickly take the picture i wanted without any car in the way.This statue is located in the center and its just tall and pointy.When i was it it reminded me of a cross so i photoshoped the picture and added the aztec indians to show a religious type of feeling.I hope to find more interesting designs around tijuana.

photo #3

This picture was taken outdoors with a point and shoot camera.This relates to my cocept for this mexican theathre located in tijuana is not an ordinary theathre.The movies showed here are informative about history and things like these.The design it has makes me think of the aztecas and their pyramids.So I decided to put these indians in the background with photoshop to kind of set the idea more deeply into aztec warriors.This in one of my favorite pictures and i really enojoyed learning this new technique in photoshop essentials.

photo #2

Since my concept is art that represents mexican culture wether its buildings,murals etc from tijuana .This picture was taken outdoors in tijuana this cow represents the
art ,this design represents mexican culture wich you can find in mexican dresses or other fabrics.I Think they decided to put the art on a cow because mexico havin a lot of ranches.Where animals are raised.I really like this picture because it has the art on the cow all in one.I hope to be taking more pictures and keep on learning new things each time.

photo #1

this picture was taken in the street by close by the beach in rosarito baja california mx.This mural cought my attetion because it was really long and by the time they grafitti made it ugly and it was a mural of the whole story of the slavery time until the day of freedom,and thats the last part that was left was the freedom part were there dancing and smiling very happy.But as you can see its algo tagged by graffiti.This picture is not photoshoped yet but they gave me a tip in that i should reshoot it and take the picutere from a farther distance so we can see the whole mural.So i wiil be retaking this photo and along with another series of photos.
