I want to start a series of these photos, in which both sides of the photo are related.   Enjoy.

USS Lexington Corpus Christi

Yet another picture from the 4th of July weekend 2009.  HDR generated from a single image in Photomatix and then Toned Mapped.  Additional editing in Photoshop.

The Dress

Just like the couch, I couldn't pass the opportunity to photograph this girl.  Aregatou!

Red Couch

While at La Cantera, I couldn't pass the opportunity to photograph this big red couch.

Hoy

Presiona aquí.

Mi Madre y el Viento

Another photo from the 4th of July weekend in Corpus Christi Texas.

Seagull on the 4th

I was surprised when I saw this seagull and I just pointed and clicked the shutter button on my Canon 40D, amazingly enough, the camera focused very quick and at the right time--just see the seagull's form, can't get better than that.

Red Blue Green

Photo of my TV (non LCD) then cross-processed to simulate the lomo effect. Not sure why I took this picture.

La De La Mochila Azul

I had forgotten about this song.

Que te pasa,
Chiquillo que te pasa
me dicen en la escuela
y me preguntan en mi casa.

Y hasta ahora
lo supe de repente
Cuando oí pasar la lista
Y ella no estuvo presente.

La de la mochila azul,
la de ojitos dormilones
me dejoó gran inquietud
y bajas calificaciones.

Ni al recreo quiero salir
no me divierto con nada
no puedo leer ni escribir
me hace falta su mirada.

De recuerdo,
me quedan sus colores
dos hojas de un cuaderno,
dice amor entre borrones.

Yo quisira
mirarla en su pupitre
por que si ella ya no vuelve
mi salón será muy triste.

La de la mochila azul,
la de ojitos dormilones
me dejoó gran inquietud
y bajas calificaciones.

Ni al recreo quiero salir
no me divierto con nada
no puedo leer ni escribir
me hace falta su mirada.

Moment In Time

What's the subject here: the ping pong ball, the tiki torch, the person, the Kanye-esque glasses, the reflection on the windows, or the girl's face watching from inside the window. You decide.

Flower Girl

Even though the girl is slightly out of focus, I think that "accident" makes the picture interesting. This is one of my favorite pictures.

With this picture I'm officially launching J.R. Acosta Photography.
